What can we call it?
We probably all have friends that we thought were smart or intelligent but are fervent supporters of trump. There's apparently a difference between book smart and street-smart because to believe his lies or turn a blind eye to them doesn't make somebody intelligent. So we need a description for these people we thought were smart.
I came up with "fake intelligence."
But I really think it should be one word. What descriptive word can you come up with for this problem when intelligent or smart doesn't describe these friends that we thought were or actually may be intelligent?
The Dunning Kruger Effect seems to fit imo
...but if you want one word: delusional
@DallasKimmerzzz look who woke up or am I delusional?
It fits trump, looking to describe friends that are otherwise intelligent but missing or wilfully blind to all his b. s.
Good morning hon - “Gullible” is another word - just look at Mini Moscow Mitch up there.
@DallasKimmerzzz yes, nice to have you back. You're not checking messages?
