Would two like him be of one mind? (7)

I believe the answer is:

halfwit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be of one mind?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'would two like him' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'him' could be 'wit' and 'wit' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'half' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for halfwit that I've seen before include "One only 50% all there?" , "Charlie?" , "dunce?" , "Mug" , "Idiot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
