Have you not been reading the news in the US and Europe the last few years? This is exactly what was to be expected from the current set of government leaders. Respect for expertise and rationality are considered disqualifying qualities in a politician nowadays.

I would think it's the current eco system that makes those who respect for expertise and rationailty happened to have some compettive advantages during the prodedure. They have better odds to be elected over their opponents. There are some observation supporting the hypothesis but too long to discuss here.
