Hmm …

… Study: People with less political knowledge think they know a lot about politics.

“The Dunning-Kruger effect holds that individuals with little knowledge about a topic will be, paradoxically, the most confident that they know a lot about the topic. Knowledgeable individuals will also discount their knowledgeability,” explained study author Ian Anson, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
Real knowledge makes one aware of how much more there is to know.
