Uninformed sterilization has happened in the past in this country too. Look at doctors at some Native American reservations. It's quite abhorrent to stereotype an entire of party based on the sensationalism of an extremely small subset of actors.
Also the 'band wagon' effect is a widely documented cognitive bias - so there is merit to the idea that "likes" can create bias.

Meanwhile the president was just on a stage in Minnesota talking about "racehorse theory"[1]. His biographer has previously described it as follows: "The family subscribes to a racehorse theory of human development. They believe that there are superior people and that if you put together the genes of a superior woman and a superior man, you get a superior offspring."[2]
I don't know where I would get the idea that he is in support of eugenics.
I am using the words of the president and leader of the party. The party that abandoned precedent a refused to draft a platform in 2020, instead choosing to just support the president.
So did he say it while in office? Did he create a policy or direct agencies to engage in eugenics? Please tell me where there is any evidence of a state-sanctioned offense of this nature.
Using your logic, we should label the Democrat party the same because under Carter's watch Native Americans were sterilized and the party supports an organization started by a eugenics advocate (Planned Parenthood). Don't forget Biden's comments on race while in office...
Hold the perpetrating individuals accountable and stop stereotyping entire classes of people.
Click on that Twitter link. Trump said these things yesterday. You are comparing something that happened literally yesterday to things that happened 4 decades or even over a century ago.
