Tribal Ignorance 

The human condition whereby the primal need for identity and trusted association, prove to be more important than objective, critical thinking; and the quest for goodness, righteousness, and truth. Often magnified by a parallel lust for control, capital, and power.
It’s tough to explain why politicians will put party before country; my only explanation is that it is an example of tribal ignorance.

Agnorant 

The compound stupidity of a person so arrogant they can't see their own ignorance
You're agnorant when you tweet actual authors of books mansplaining the plot to them and how you know more about their own creation

ignorance is bliss 

It is a term used to falsely justify apathy on the given subject in the form of a catchy cliche.
A prevalent saying of the people in North America when confronted by the truth.

Me: Did you know that fluoride causes bone brittleness and dental fluorosis?

You: Meh, ignorance is bliss. *swallows the toothpaste*

Radical Ignorance 

The original name of the Make America Great Again movement before they came up with something less self-deprecating.
Let’s come up with something a little more patriotic sounding, I’m afraid that Radical Ignorance just doesn’t cut it.

Fact-proof Ignorance Bubble 

The hard shell that surrounds the head and brain of all Trump supporters.
The decline of education in America and the coinciding rise in more Americans afflicted with the Dunning-Krueger syndrome is strong evidence that many people live in a Fact-proof Ignorance Bubble, free of rational thought, logic and common sense.

Trying to discuss world events with Trump Supporters is useless since they live in a Fact-proof Ignorance Bubble.
