"Sheeple" is a term used to attack, demean and dehumanize opponents, oftentimes in the context of political discussions, by likening them to sheep blindly following what they are told by others. The term is closely associated with conspiracy theory discourse and tends to be used by those who believe in them to depict people who follow the "official narrative".
