"Groupthink, for example, is a tendency for insular groups to make poor decisions because the need to maintain group cohesion is stronger than the need to learn the truth of a matter. This well known phenomenon was articulated by Irving Janis, who defined it as "a deterioration of mental efficiency, reality testing, and moral judgment that results from in-group pressures."
Can you spot examples of a phenomena called "groupthink" in recent political debates?
