The introduction of "group think" as a means of invalidating community action is frightening. I expect to see that twisted logic to divide-and-conquer other communities of action. Trumpists and other dumbasses will pick right up on it because they've heard the term "group think" and it sounds smart.

I think his comment was just another example of "group think" and he needs to examine his own motives and sources.

Most definitely distance yourself from them.

You need a new friend...this one is too stupid.

The basic illogic of. "Not every stamp collector is in the stamp collectors club, therefore I oppose the stamp collectors club." Should tell you everything you need to know about the true motivations of this person, and the quality of thinking they are usually exposed and accustomed to in the circles they choose to join.

Well, I had a neighbors fifteen year old kid explain why he hates mexicans.
So, he is no longer employed, the parents are not allowed on my property and they don't know their landlord is my best friend.
I let him know his attitude was shit. Now even their kids can't keep their stupid mouths shut.

It's a fake (bogus) rationalization. They are lying to you and to themselves in order to conform with their preferred cohort.

I have a new name for them: GOProbots, pronounce Go Pro-bots

don't let someone else make their confusion yours.

I think this person is full of shit. If you don't support the LGBTQ community you do have a problem with gay people. Not every person, gay or straight thinks the same way so to target the LGBTQ community as having "group think" is ridiculous. I'd stay away from this person.

Sounds like the statement concocter has no idea what the meaning of "group think" is.

What he was really saying was “I’m prejudiced against the gay community because I think they do group-think more than my own community does.” Which was just a very lame effort to disguise the truth, which is... he’s just prejudiced against the gay community period.
