I call what Lauren Boebert exhibits “confident stupidity”. She’s stupid and she’s confident showing it. Same for MTG.

My pet theory is they think being smart is the process of just disagreeing with everyone and everything.

Like, hey, one plus one is two and then they say, NUH UH and... well THEY think that makes them look smart...

This actually is a learned behavior. Being a fool, everything they say gets corrected. So from their point of view, correcting people and being insufferable is what someone who is smarter does.

It's not their fault they are trying to apply this principle in an upward direction. They're just at the bottom of the barrel.

You say you're being sarcastic, but that's actually a pretty good explanation.
