Those who score low on political knowledge tend to overestimate their expertise even more when greater emphasis is placed on political affiliation.

""""In the past, some prominent psychologists have explained President Donald Trump’s unwavering support by alluding to a well-established psychological phenomenon known as the “Dunning-Kruger effect.”

The effect is a type of cognitive bias, where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge. Or, stated more harshly, they are “too dumb to know they are dumb.”

Dunning–Kruger effect
(Heretofore referred to as Trumpism)

• 
  In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiority and mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority comes from the inability of low-ability people to recognize their lack of ability; without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence.[1]
• 
  
• On the other hand, people of high ability incorrectly assume that tasks that are easy for them are also easy for other people.

Oh boy wait for it! I'm surprised someone hasn't already been here attacking you, but give it time, they'll all show up.

They don't realize that calling out the Dunning-Kruger effect as a weapon against ones opponents is usually a pretty good indication that the originator is suffering from it themselves.

Not a well known theory. Only named about 20+ years ago. I found it while digging around looking for some kind of psychological basis for the 'incompetent who thought they were competent'. TRUE STORY---I finally realized why my OWN (little) BROTHER was so belligerent (and dare I say happy) and oblivious to his own ignorance. Then I saw it in greater context and at MEANINGFUL AND DANGEROUS LEVEL in GEORGE W. BUSH. George himself as well as his followers.

PS I believe BUSH figured it out in himself. He is a 'chastened' 'humbled man NOW! Too bad it took 1,000,000+ DEAD IRAQIS and 3400 of OUR KIDS for him to learn his lesson!

The problem with Adorno's Authoritarian Personality--upon which this gem is surely based--and the methodology which his work suggests for political debate and measurement of those most likely to serve fascism, is that the scale intended to determine just that, instead identified radical Left wing authoritarianism as the more measurable set of predictive and higher scoring traits; see F-Scale for more information.

The problem with avoiding political debate by dismissing your opponent's argument as a psychological disorder, is that you invalidate your own objections to so-called far or alt-Right authoritarianism by evincing a greater demonstration of your own fascist tendency in the suppression of valid speech.

You can’t make diagnoses on someone who you never examined so that by it’s self invalidates your whole long winded response so allow me to counter with one that is more direct, simple, and straight to the point.

That was actually being developed well before the more derogatory term LIBS pervaded 'WINGER WORLD'. And way before WINGER.

The second episode of "Who is America" by Sacha Baron Cohen bears out the Dunning–Kruger effect.
Dick Cheney was totally punked. Talking about his favorite war and signing a waterboarding set up.
The Georgia Republican rep was totally punked. Pulling down his pants and ass-chasing Cohen.
The residents of Kingman, Arizona were totally punked. Outright saying they only tolerated blacks in their town.
Ted Koppel was not.
