We’re not there yet, and I hope we don’t go that far.
Europeans are overreacting, and Americans (particularly our Democrat representatives) are underreacting. That’s where we are at right now.
It’s a weird thing to see people who don’t know how the US works flip out, while also watching tons of elected representatives pretend nothing is going on. Then there’s the MAGA people… Holy shit are they delusional.
I wouldn’t say Europe are overreacting. This particular post, “worse than nazi Germany”, yes, but atm they are being a bit too complicit in things like the US bombing and kidnapping the head of a foreign nation…
However the US isn’t literally building camps with the explicit purpose of mass murder and genocide. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still doing a lot of nazi and atrocious shit, but distinguishing the nuance is important.

This is a complete mischaracterization of how camps began and evolved in nazi germany while also downplaying the horror of ice detention centers and mass deportations to foreign concentration camps. I’m sure you’ve heard of CECOT. Ever heard this quote?
“We, as the Security Cabinet, will ensure that the penalties are high enough so that none of those who enter CECOT will ever leave walking; they will only be able to leave in a coffin”
But hey, that’s just coming from the Minister of Justice and Public Security of El Salvador. If tens of thousands of people are condemned to die there, is that not mass murder? Keep in mind, this, from the us government’s perspective, is a service they are paying for. Also, this is only one of many arrangements the us has for mass deportation. Please keep in mind, the nazi camps were certainly not all in Germany.
Basically, you’re blurring a whole lot of lines here with your comment.
Honestly, with the lack of democratic party strength I’m honestly starting to wonder if everyone who is supporting change isn’t just put into the shit list social media algorithm so that they just can’t get any traction or coalition going. Like we are so sensitive to what we see on social media it honestly wouldn’t surprise me to learn that all the family support they would normally have is eroded by depressed family members who have just been destroyed by the algorithm. In 2011 Facebook was showing how they could alter people’s feed to change peoples moods based on what they are being shown and in what order. That was a long time ago and they stopped publishing their findings. Who knows how sophisticated they have been able to be now. Like why is Walz stepping down? He wasn’t involved in the fraud, why is he giving up the fight?
