Attributed to the Heinlein Society

from Facebook:

Errogant: When you're completely wrong, but you're also totally certain about it.

I'm expanding the intended definition to apply to MAGAs in general and not just to describe the misspelling of words.

His brother, a poli sci prof at what is now Missouri State University, was even worse. Robert let his bizarre viewpoints partially come through in his writing. Yet he is celebrated as a father of science fiction, and his work has influenced much of the right wing, including people like Musk. Thiel and Yarvin. Sad that he and his legacy has gone under the radar for so long.

Not sure if he was responsible for coining the term, or the Facebook page just posted the meme.

He sounds Errogant.

He was a brilliant and unique writer. His novel, Revolt in 2100, feels prophetic, and clearly shows where his sympathy would be.
