If you don’t think there won’t be concentration camps inside the US you haven’t been paying attention.

Agreed. In this context, it's important to remember that not all concentration camps are nazi-style death camps. Don't get me wrong, they're still obviously bad, but don't let people say "come on, you think there's going to be a Holocaust in the US? That's what concentration camps imply!"

We’ve already seen detention centres with conditions bad enough to cause long-term sickness and eventual death of migrant children. Why people would think that these concentration camps won’t be as bad as the non-extermination Nazi camps is unclear – probably wishful thinking at this point

Do you think they started right away in Germany with gas chambers? They didn't. They started by trying to deport undesirables and then when they couldn't deport them all they put them in camps. Then when the camps became too expensive to maintain and too many, then they finally started killing them.

But this is how it starts what we're seeing now here in the US. It's how it starts. This is the time to act. Don't just wave this away, it's serious

Yes, I agree with all of that.
