Y'know something really stuck out to me that moment years ago where FEMA was doing a supply drop only for a group of puerto ricans and Trump unannounced showed up delivering paper towels to everyone. I never forgot that moment and I think the reason why despite being initially hostile towards Trump during the presidency and pro-Warren/Sanders I pretty happily was able to switch enthusiastically to Trump, that moment was there subconsciously the entire time and I think all along I think we knew Trump had that potential the entire time.

I saw this all coming but man it's really making me pissed as if I didn't. I admit Inthiught AOC wouldnjust fade away and not actually pull the "look Cruz said we shouldn't are about these camps in bad faith so guess those kids can rot" line though.

Detainees at ICE facilities, both children and adults, are at high risk of sexual assault. And recently the Trump Administration argued in court that it was okay to house migrant children in cold, crowded cells and force them to sleep on concrete floors without access to basic hygiene products like soap and toothbrushes.

Earlier this month, the Office of Refugee Resettlement declared that it would no longer fund daily schooling, outdoor playtime, or legal services for migrant children, as several lawyers who inspected an overcrowded border station in Clint, Texas, reported filthy conditions and hungry children detained for sometimes almost as long as a month despite a law stipulating that they be transferred or released within seventy-two hours.

“In my twenty-two years of doing visits with children in detention, I have never heard of this level of inhumanity,” said Holly Cooper, a lawyer who co-directs the University of California, Davis, Immigration Law Clinic.

At least 2,737 children have been separated at the border, and at least twenty-two people have died in U.S. custody under the Trump Administration, including at least seven children.

George Takei, a survivor of the Japanese internment camps now famous for his role as Hikaru Sulu on Star Trek, wrote that at least “during the internment of Japanese-Americans, I and other children were not stripped from our parents.” Other survivors of the internment camps expressed horror when the Trump Administration recently announced its plan to turn Fort Sill in Oklahoma, a former internment camp, into an emergency shelter for 1,400 unaccompanied minors.

“I know what’s happening to these children will have a lasting impact on their mental health,” said psychotherapist Satsuki Ina, who was born in the Tule Lake Segregation Center. “Indefinite detention is a form of torture.”

Journalist Andrea Pitzer, author of One Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps, told Esquire these facilities fall under her book’s definition of concentration camps, places of “mass detention of civilians without trial.” The article’s author, Jack Holmes, points out that “not every concentration camp is a death camp—in fact, their primary purpose is rarely extermination, and never in the beginning. Often, much of the death and suffering is a result of insufficient resources, overcrowding, and deteriorating conditions.”

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has drawn criticism for condemning the use of the term “concentration camp” to describe the U.S. migrant detention centers. “Why bother learning about the Holocaust at all,” responded Rafi Schwartz in Splinter, “if the goal is simply to ossify its horrors as something that offers no contemporary roadmap for action?”

Even Mike Godwin, the lawyer who coined “Godwin’s Law” positing that any Internet conversation that goes on long enough approaches a comparison to Nazis or Hitler, agreed that the term “concentration camp” in this case is accurate.

The Trump Administration may use language like “detainment facilities” to describe these holding facilities, but let’s call them what they really are: concentration camps.

In 2017, before the Trump Administration’s family separation policy was implemented, the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, a human rights organization based in New York, tweeted that there were “alarming parallels” between Trump and Hitler. Steven Goldstein, the center’s executive director, told Newsweek, “1930s Germany imposed a series of escalating steps of oppression, including demonization, discrimination, and isolation of vulnerable communities, that evoke what we are seeing today.”

It's literally all the same poo poo, except blue team and red team swapped objectives.

Out of curiosity, I checked, and the term "concentration camps" was used 158 times in the general election thread. Most of those in the context of "there are concentration camps, we need to get rid of Trump."

If we lived in the 1850s, D&D posters would be arguing about how we need to return fugitive slaves to the south.

The liberal/Northern-anti abolitionist argument against slavery abolition was literally "but what will we do with all these newly unemployed uneducated freed slaves????" Direct parallel to "but what will we do with all these unaccompanied children if not put them in camps?"

The dearth of imagination of the liberal mind is always the final reason for why atrocities must continue.

This is the same argument that like half of D&D made as to why they didn't believe Tara Reade. Because literally only a couple of news outlets would hear her story and one of those was RT and therefor SHE MUST BE A RUSSIAN PLANT. not that you know... msnbc, cnn, etc all had a vested interest in getting Biden into the presidency and weren't ever going to make her story prime time, no matter how much evidence she had backing her.

Libs literally care more about the source of news than if that news actually happened and looking at poo poo with an even eye. If it doesn't come from one of their approved sources, it may as well have never happened.

Well good thing Ralph ruled that the search engine is off limits. It's people like you that think someone having honest personal growth and changing their mind about concentration camps after 1/20 that are bringing these forums into disrepute.
