Those who follow Dr. Stockmann support him, but don't fully understand what he has to say because he says a lot. They believe what he says, but do not completely understand what it is he is telling them. After the message is revealed sometimes it doesn't get through to everyone, or it takes a while to completely "click" in the followers minds. So maybe if the play continued, eventually the people that supported Dr. Stockmann would begin to fully understand what he was saying. Maybe Dr. Stockmann's followers are part of a separate ignorant mass because they don't seem to really understand what they are standing up for, but they fight for it anyway.
I think there are different types of revelation stories, some of them the prophet gets the full public opinion, and helps a whole community make a revelation. But sometimes the prophet gets shut down, and shunned, and can't get the message accross and so few or none get the message, and another is where there is a pre-revealer who shows the prophet who s/he is, and then the prophet goes out and tries to show the message to others through the hero's journey trope.
