The Detention Centers Are Not "Concentration Camps"

AOC is not the sharpest tool in the shed, as we know.
First, a short route: if the detention centers are concentration camps now, then they were concentration camps under Obama. But, of course, this is one of the preferred tactics of the extremist and otherwise irrational: changing criteria to get the outcome they prefer. The only difference between the centers under Trump and those under Obama is that they are (apparently) more crowded now.
   More substantively: well, it's not really worth trying to discuss seriously. People are flooding across the border illegally, and overwhelming the asylum system--and many are lying to game it. The only rational system involves detaining them. There's just no plausible alternative. Of course this means that they are concentrated into camps--but those camps are not concentration camps. The use of actual concentration camps involved rounding up undesirables and herding them into prison camps in order to remove them from society...and possibly move them to murder camps. Were we to so distort the meaning of 'concentration camp' as to count these, then prisons are concentration camps. So are military bases. We've always had concentration camps! Are we the baddies????
   The cringiest part is when AOC claims that she doesn't "use the terms lightly"...but then also goes on to call Trump a fascist and an authoritarian. Well...he does sometimes seem to have a wee bit of the latter in him...and any whiff is too much, by my lights. Even the faintest hint is impermissible. But I'm going to set that aside right now. To call him a fascist is just plain stupid. It is, in fact, using the term lightly--about as lightly as it's possible to use it.
   This is just the same old same old for progressives: redefine and change the rules so that any enforcement of immigration law is fascist. They've lost their minds. They make the narcissistic con man look almost level-headed by comparison.
