At what point do people start taking him seriously as a threat? I am not suggesting he is on Hitlers level right now, but if you look at history some of the similarities from the beginning of Hitler taking power genuinely frighten me.
I really think some people need to take their head out of the sand. And the last time he was in power, I did not have these thoughts. This time, he has gone senile and I don't know if he wants world power, or wants to go out with a bang, but some of the things he has done in just 2 weeks is scary.

I continue to think not nearly enough people are paying attention to this.
I know there is historic president for using Guantanamo for a similar purpose, but I think there is a huge difference between setting up a refugee operation to process a mass migration intercepted in international waters at a giver period of time and detaining stateless people on stateless land. I also think it should be noted that isn't a bright spot, and pointing to it as justifications for taking more extreme action with seemingly more ill intent is just the frustrating whataboutism that leads us to predictable results.
First you find somewhere to send the people you want to deport, but have no where to go, then you run out of space, then you find creative ways to make space. First you send people who do not have a credible claim to any state, then you send the people you just wish weren't citizens of your state.
I think it's possible and likely this doesn't explicitly turn into a concentration camp, but I also think the risk is high enough that more people keeping their eyes on it is a good idea. Once we get to concentration camps the comparisons start to look a little more prescient, it would be great if we were wrong.
