It is astounding how many people are ganging up on me because they are butthurt democrats who cannot accept the fact that there are people who have the right to pick another side. But I get it. Their mental state is governed quite clearly by the bandwagon fallacy.

Essentially, the bandwagon fallacy makes listeners and readers question any opposition they have to the position being discussed. Human beings have a drive to conform to group behaviors. In fact, the Solomon Asch conformity experiment found that this drive is so strong that people will actually choose incorrect answers to simple questions after watching others make the same incorrect choices.

This is also the principle that drives us to succumb to peer pressure. It makes decision-making easier by eliminating the need to think critically about the topic at hand. Your brain sees other people doing something and goes, Hey, everybody else is doing it—that many people can’t be wrong, can they?
