PsyBlog | Psychology Blog: Loudest Voice = Majority Opinion

"..if one person in a group repeats the same opinion three times, it has 90% of the effect of three different people in that group expressing the same opinion"

Interesting piece on how individuals judge the prevailing opinion of a group. To me, it makes the repetitious lies of the current US administration even more insidious, and acts as an inspiration to speak up about the things that matter to me more often.
