Groupthink is hard to break out of. We all have followed the crowds in our lives wrongly, no one is innocent.
Often times people want to follow the narrative for their own reputation sake.

Q has warned us that the dangers of groupthink are present. Q showed us a parallel of knowing we are powerful individually, and powerful as a collective.

If your reputation takes a hit for standing for what's right, then good. Let them talk and see you as what they want to believe you are.
