To mock a midwit using their own bad logic to make an ironic argument in a way they would, but also in a way where most of them will actually agree lest they expose themselves to the wolves that are the other
stupider less-aware midwits.
This works so well, because a vast majority of midwits are on the less-aware end and generally care more about agreeing with
something they already agree with especially if many other midwits already agree they all agree with it!
Dissenters to the midwits ideals are thus automatically labeled, "bad" for
X emotional, fallacious, or nonsensical reasons. Legitimate refutations of takes or disagreements are labeled as "hit-pieces". Anecdotal experiences with a single
person from another disagreeing group automatically means that
person and anyone who agrees with them is also "bad", etc. The reason The Midwit
Trap works so well is to disagree with your agreeing yet mocking take is to open themselves up to the same "out group bad" mentality they and the others they surround themselves with have. This is The Midwit
Trap.
An example of executing The Midwit
Trap: Responding to a midwit online with "I agree." updoot and all, and then use the most openly blatantly stupid midwit
logic they all would use to come to a conclusion that they would actually agree with. The
trick here is the argument has to be so openly blatantly stupid/circular/hypocritical that even some of the midwits might notice. The
trick here is it will never be the majority of the hivemind so any midwits who actually do notice and call you out, you can just turn around and throw them to the wolves that are the other 90% of midwits who were too
dumb to get it. By doing this they will now be labeled as part of the out-group and therefore in the hivemind of the midwits, bad.
