If you look at the group think currently going on with the rabid followers of Donald Trump, you see them lapping up any vapid morally bankrupt idea he spews because they like that he is belligerent and begin to espouse those same vile ideas because they want to fit in with their group instead of questioning whether or not those things are a good idea. The internment of Japanese Americans in WWII is a black mark on the legacy of America. However, now that's a super awesome idea because Chump says so.

Isn't the bolded part kind of contradicted by your following paragraph? A lot of these people running for office hold opinions that are just straight up wrong. Racism, facism, all around science denying, etc. They believe and say things that are incorrect, and then base their opinions on them.
