Mine was not an attempt to conflate “holocaust” with “concentration camp” but to share an opinion about the labeling of migrant detention centers as “concentration camps”, which, AFAICT, is just the Left’s latest attempt to label things it doesn’t like as Nazis / “literally Hitler”. If they (the migrant detention centers) are so bad, one would think you wouldn’t need to resort to a “rhetorical cudgel” and Godwinizing the discussion to make your case. Just tell us about how they have the wrong flavor of toothpaste and leave the nazis out of it. Is that so hard?
