This fascinates me. Kind of terrifying how vulnerable humans are to the need for group acceptance.

    Agreed, it says a lot about the current political climate.

    I recently read a letter by Dietrich Bonnhoefer, who was a German Lutheran pastor and anti-Nazi dissident, who was imprisoned in 1943, hanged by Hitler's personal directive in April 1945.

    His letter is titled "On Stupidity" and it explains A LOT about the same phenomenon.
