I don't think that's universally true.  For example, though not all Trump supporters are racist, most racists seem to support Trump.  Even if Trump isn't motivated by racism at all, they perceive his policy proposals as having a "racist" outcome (correctly, I think), and are voting in that interest. 

If Trump's policies align with their desires, then aren't they justified in voting for him? How does it show a lack of a "complete and well-informed position"?

You appear to have misread my earlier post.  I never said that there weren't plenty of Trump voters whose support was well-informed.  I just said there were also plenty (more than 50% IMO) whose support was ill-informed or misinformed. 

That's why I think it's a bad idea for people to potentially write people out of their lives for the crime of ignorance, especially when they perceive themselves as being politically active citizens, who should be helping other people become more well-informed on both policy issues and where candidates stand on them.
