Well of course. Isn’t “Dunning-Kruger effect” just a fancy name-branded way of saying dumb people don’t know how dumb they are, and can’t even hear it and just get offended when you point it out to them? Or have I not educated myself on that topic well enough to know that I don’t know what I don’t know? I would add too that most of both parties and most of the news media have lost so much integrity (both in terms of corruption and in terms of not even really trying to say true and accurate things that make real sense), that it has created a huge opportunity for people to BS and sound like a breath of fresh air, because they’re used to hearing a different flavor of BS, that fresh BS that disagrees with the usual BS sounds pretty good.
