Homo Politicus is tribal
Primal psychological influences such as motivated reasoning and social identity are capable of shifting and sometimes entirely determining the policies that citizens support.
… More often than not, citizens do not choose which party to support based on policy opinion; they alter their policy opinion according to which party they support… citizens want to believe that their political values are solid and well reasoned. More often, though, policy attitudes grow out of group-based defense. Partisanship muddies the folk pathway from interests to outcomes, sometimes sending a person in a wrong direction or further down a path than self-interest and values alone would dictate.

Apparently repeating the statement “The Atlantic Ocean is the largest ocean on Earth” enough times will make you believe it.

Does any of this sound familiar?
Brainwashing in academia is commonly referred to as coercive persuasion. Coercive psychological systems are behavioral change programs which use psychological force in a coercive way to cause the learning and adoption of an ideology or designated set of beliefs, ideas, attitudes, or behaviors. Victims gradually lose their ability to make independent decisions and exercise informed consent.
The tactics used to create undue psychological and social influence are often by means involving anxiety and stress. If you can frighten a person enough, or otherwise keep him in a state of anxiety, he or she becomes easily susceptible to external suggestions. Increase suggestibility and "soften up" the individual through specific hypnotic or other suggestibility-increasing techniques such as: Extended audio, visual, verbal, or tactile fixation drills, Excessive exact repetition of routine activities. Efforts are designed to destabilize and undermine the subject's basic consciousness. Create a sense of powerlessness by subjecting the person to intense and frequent actions and situations which undermine the person's confidence in himself
Social isolation is promoted. Contact with persons who do not share group-approved attitudes. Economic and other dependence on the group is fostered. An "in-group" language is usually constructed. Intimidate the person with the force of group-sanctioned secular psychological threats. For example, it may be suggested or implied that failure to adopt the approved attitude, belief or consequent behavior will lead to severe punishment or “dire consequences”.
It has recognized that an individual can be threatened and coerced psychologically by what he or she perceives to be dangerous, not necessarily by that which is dangerous.

Thought Experiment
One day student “A” tells student “B” he/she is ugly. Everyday Student “C” says things like, “Remember when “A” said you were ugly?” or “ I saw “A” talking to “D”. I bet they were talking about you being ugly again”, or “ I still can’t believe “A’ called you ugly”
Who’s the bully?
