| Jun 4, 2018 at 23:28 | comment | added | matt wilkie | For the Q, is it important that the [thing] being followed is political? In other words are you searching for a term that distinguishes between blindly following {government/religion/science/tradition/...} or is it enough for just any uncritical blind following? | |

Despite the popular perception of sheep as a slang form, Sheeple is in fact a valid term that the public can easily relate to while having a civil discussion.

Although you may seem to be after to a word also implying some active involvement, rather than mere passivity. | |
