There's Actually Another Name For That
From the Washington Post today:
There's another name for that, as I am sure you know: concentration camps.
Next time some right wing jackass tries to tell you that the Republican party is not on the way to turn this country into a replica of Nazi Germany, remember this. And then tell them to fuck off, when they tell you that it's only for illegal immigrant children, so it's okay. "First they came for the Jews," and all that.
The big difference this time around? Instead of finding some poor sociopath to play the role of Hitler, they picked one of their own, to see that no subhuman action of their was allowed unless a rich guy made a huge profit off of it too. That makes it twice as good, as far as they are concerned.
Here's a little excerpt from an article about a concentration camp for children in Lodz, Poland, run by the Nazis:
Don't allow yourself to think for one second that this is going to end up any different, if the Republican party is not crushed.
"The Trump administration is making preparations to hold immigrant children on military bases, according to Defense Department communications"

"During the German occupation, a concentration camp for children was established in the city of Łódź...Where did the terrible idea of setting up a children’s camp come from? Shortly after entering Poland, Germans became aware of the issue of orphaned and homeless children. From 3,000 to 5,000 children were imprisoned in “Little Auschwitz.”

Comments
Others try to say that is not what their attitudes imply... but it is exactly what their attitudes imply.
There is a frightening preparedness to just not give a fuck about other people, because somehow that would be seen as 'weakness' or intruding on their 'freedom'. It's warped.
