A toxicity lemming is someone who acts toxic in a public space, particularly social media, simply because other people are also being toxic. They're a lemming falling off the cliff of toxicity. Especially relevant to politics.

The mythical notion that a human, risking death by going maskless to a Trump rally, is as stupid as a Lemming. Lemmings will not in fact suicidally follow a leader.
The Lemming Fallacy was fabricated for the 1958 Disney film White Wilderness which won an Academy Award for Documentary Feature. Producers threw lemmings off a cliff to their deaths to fake footage of a "mass suicide". Far from "casting themselves bodily out into space" (as the film's narrator states), they were, in fact, dumped off the cliff from a truck by the camera crew. Trump rally-goers get there voluntarily.
