re: #113 Mattand

I had a conversation with my sister last week about current events and when the child concentration camps came up, she was definitely Team “AOC is Out-of-Line Calling Them for What They Really Are.” The whole “Sure, locking up brown kids based on their race is wrong and all, but you can’t say that because no one’s being gassed to death. Civility!!!”

She’s the same way with my racist cousins: I’m the one who gets screamed at when I point out their bigotry because I’m supposed to be the bigger person and pretend it’s not happening.

I utterly agree with everything you said. I’m willing to bet, though, either the author or the editor(s) or both of that article are pulling their punches when they do shit like this, just like my friends and family do. They are literally scared of Trump and the MAGAts accusing them of partisanship, so they’re dancing around the truth.

Which is fucking nuts. The man is openly cultivating white supremacy as a voting block for Republicans, but it’s somehow wrong to point that out.

Tell them Anne Frank died at Bergen-Belsen, a concentration camp (NOT a death camp) of illness caused by overcrowding and unsanitary conditions, the same conditions being experienced by immigrants today.
