A form of Majoritarian Bias where one invokes majority opinion as proof of correctness, treating popularity as validation. The fallacy lies in assuming that because many people believe something, it must be true—or because most people support something, it must be right. "The majority supports it" becomes an argument-ending move, as if numbers could settle questions of truth or justice. This fallacy ignores that majorities have been wrong throughout history, that truth is not decided by vote, and that justice often requires opposing majority opinion. It's argument by crowd, not by reason.
