The Yates effect is an interesting quality that humans have been researching since the beginning of time.
The effect occurs when a group of people hates another party, but soon turns their hatred on the party trying to stand up for the hated.
Most of the time the hated party will join the opposing side just to drive the hate away form themselves.

Auditor Smith: Congress.
