Outbreak of Dunning Kruger Disease spreads to all 50 states

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which low-ability individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability as much higher than it really is. Dunning and Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive incapacity, on the part of those with low ability, to recognize their ineptitude and evaluate their competence accurately. Their research also suggests corollaries: high-ability individuals may underestimate their relative competence and may erroneously assume that tasks which are easy for them are also easy for others,

Sounds like the supporters of a two-party system with an Electoral College. ~Patrick

And higher in States where they think vaccinations cause autism, and are also a government plot.
