We have Dr. Stephen Ducat as a guest again, and our question today is from Roberta from Boulder, Colorado, who asks, "I remember reading about the dynamics of Group Consensus and groupthink way back when I was in college." It seems to me that there are elements of both in Trump supporters. They have a consensus to follow him, but their overall ideology appears to lean more toward groupthink. Which does the panel think is at play here?
