A person who follows a political ideology uncritically, adopting views, slogans, or positions based on the information—or misinformation—they are fed, rather than through independent reasoning or research. Sheepists are often characterized by conformity, repetition of talking points, and resistance to questioning the “flock’s” narrative.
Adjective form: sheepist (“That was a sheepist argument, straight off the party’s leaflet.”)
Etymology:
From sheep (an animal noted for flocking and uncritical following of a leader) + -ist (denoting a follower, adherent, or advocate). Coined in the 21st century as a pejorative to describe individuals whose political loyalty resembles herd behavior.
Creator: John Kennard

“He calls himself a patriot, but his sheepist devotion to party lines means he never actually questions the policies.”
“The debate quickly devolved into sheepist bleating, with no one daring to step outside the party narrative.”
“Independent thought is the cure for sheepist politics.”
