Caroline van der Plas, stepping down as BBB party leader, will be remembered for her normalization of ignorance, exemplified by her contradictory stance on Jumbo's discontinuation of "kiloknallers" (cheap meat price stunts). Initially a proponent of banning such promotions through a motion in December 2022, she later criticized Jumbo's move in March 2024, claiming it would harm low-income families. This shift marked the BBB's transition from a farmers' party to a radical-right entity, prioritizing asylum and migration over agricultural interests, a strategy that proved unsuccessful. Van der Plas's political career is characterized by a disregard for facts and an embrace of gut feelings, positioning her as a prominent anti-intellectual on the right, whose legacy is the politicization of knowledge and the elevation of ignorance as "authentic."
