I did, and thank you for bringing the term to our attention! I believe I first used that term when referring to the mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford, sometime prior to 2016. And here's the problem, we (the people) elect our leaders, so in a very real sense, we deserve what we get and get what we deserve.

Historically, the unskilled and uneducated have always outnumbered their highly-skilled, well-educated counterparts in this country, but this didn't present much of a problem, so long as deference was given to demonstrated expertise. In other words, as long as gaining expertise and higher education were universally valued, we didn't seem to have issues. But what happens when a significant segment of the electorate ignore experts? What happens when they believe their opinions are on an equal footing with the consensus of acknowledged authorities on a topic? And what happens when they are unaware of their inaccurate thinking?

In a democracy, when a large enough number of poorly-educated, poorly-informed, flat-earthers, anti-vaxers and anti-media conspiracy theorists vote, we get a kakistocracy. The outcome of the 2016 election revealed that educational level was a major factor in predicting which candidate one would vote for. Sadly, a significant portion of our electorate are casualties of the Dunning-Krueger effect, and I have little hope that this circumstance has changed.
