Dogpile
The dogpile is where an angry group of Midwits gang up to attack an easy target, usually to get social status for being seen to agree with the group / virtue signaling. They see that everyone else is doing something, and they copy it. Midwit Incrementalism style.
Once a dogpile has been established, the narrative has been set in their fixed minds. They don't care about the truth, they want to stroke their ego and feel good about themselves.
The downside is psychological discomfort, the cognitive dissonance, that they'd experience if/when their false narrative is exposed as false. They don't want to come to terms with being total Midwits and realizing they aren't as intelligent as they thought after all. They still all act the same during late stage dogpiling.
Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their delusions destroyed. Especially when their low-intelligence dogpiling backfires.
RITTENHOUSE FOUND NOT GUILTY by FreedomToons is a satirical video pointing out how dumb dogpilers are and the typical emotion they feel when it backfires.
