Made popular by Lee Evans, it is the chair/bench that if found generally next to changing rooms in clothes shops. Men are placed here to wait for their wives/girlfriends/lady friends, usually with a bewildered look on their face as they take in their surroundings.
Originating from Walter Lippman's commentating on mass culture, the 'bewildered herd' is the masses that are tamed through propaganda and mass media in order that the machine of democracy is kept properly oiled.
The bewildered masses must be subdued, tamed, and injected with the popular opinion of the upper class of politicians, heads of corporations, and all others belonging to the elite class of intellectuals and wealthy, in order to govern a nation and circumvent any defect in democracy.
The single function of the bewildered masses is to be spectators, not participants, in a democratic nation.
The bewildered masses give their power to a benevolent overlord who makes decisions (apparently) for the good of them all.
To convince someone of the validity of an argument that they themselves do not understand based partially on their perception of your confidence in it and based partially on their fear of appearing ignorant by questioning it. This is generally accomplished by purposely overloading a person or people with a litany of seemingly relevant and apparently reasonable facts and supporting sub-arguments wrapped in convoluted logic to the extent that that they are unable to grasp the argument while purposely exploiting their fear of appearing ignorant by questioning it. They therefore come to believe your argument without understanding it because they believe you understand it and since they don‘t you are evidently smarter than they are and you must therefore be correct. The argument relies on no particular validity but rather on their belief in your confidence and their fear that they will be openly punished for their ignorance if the argument is questioned.
