The Asch conformity experiment is cited to explain how individuals often go along with a group's incorrect consensus due to social pressure. The study found that if even one other person in the group speaks the truth, the test subject is far more likely to trust their own eyes. This psychological principle is applied to the current political climate, urging individuals to break the "conformity bias" by speaking the truth publicly.
