10. Why call them concentration camps then?
Mon Jun 30, 2025, 01:54 PM
Monday

Because it's an allusion to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.

The OP is quite clear though with the meaning stating:

Trump and his goons are following in the footsteps of Hitler and We as Americans are indifferent to it.


Seems a bit hyperbolic to me.
