      Yeah - I’m aware of that.

      I dont think it’s particularly relevant to the topic at hand though, which is the jarring similarities between the mechanics of Trump’s deportation scheme and the concentration camps of the Third Reich.

      That said, it certainly is telling, and not a little ironic, that the regime that Americans generally consider the ur-example of destructive autocracy actually lifted a lot of its strategies and rhetoric from earlier American sources.

      Though I have no doubt that one so inclined could trace a lot of the strategies and rhetoric all the way back at least to the Borgias, and undoubtedly further than that.
