21. I humbly disagree

Although our government is not carrying out a genocidal plan against Central American asylum seekers

Really? Because they are creating a very purposeful plan to dehumanize and attack them, especially children.

We are holding CHILDREN in camps under indefinite detention and subjecting them to solitary confinement and other punitive methods. DHS has stated that due to "budget issues" they will be denying them recreational activities, school and access to legal aid.

The DOJ is actively in court, right now, to challenge the need of CHILDREN in their custody have a warm place to sleep, toothbrushes or even soap.

People tend to think of history in broad strokes, the executive summary, of what happened.
People forget the years long effort at blaming of Jews and other "undesirables" for the issues in Germany, the attacks and dehumanization media campaign by the then rising nazi party, the ghettos, arrests and beatings with no charges. These things occered over years.

No one, including AOC, is implying that the US govt currently plans to put children into camps and then murder illegal immigrants.

That actually wasn't the plan in the beginning in Germany either. The actual plan for that was called "the final solution" for a reason. It was to stop pretending they had any other interests than the murder of 'undesirables" in German society.

It can happen. It has happened. It can happen again.
