it's because you're choosing to close your eyes. Just like the citizens in those other dictatorships did.

We are now at the "prison camp" stage of this assault on our democracy. If you're blind to this, it's time to open your eyes and start fighting back. Before it's too late.

If you're watching "undesirables" being sent to prison camps, not only without the benefit of a judicial process but in outright defiance of one, and you aren't seeing EXTREMELY troubling parallels to human rights abuses in other dictatorships throughout history,

Then maybe people protesting Tesla, or protesting the President, or maybe members of the media that Trump decides are being too critical. Anyone the current administration decides is a "criminal" or a "threat to the country".

I'm going to guess that it's to send a message. At the moment, it's Venezuelan gang members. Next it might be people protesting the war in Gaza.

What crimes have they been tried for and convicted of that would justify sending them to hard-labor prison camps? And why in prison camps that we have no control over in a different country?

But let's say, for the sake of argument, that they ARE Venezuelan gang members. Why are we sending them to prison camps in El Salvador? Why aren't we just deporting them back to Venezuela?

"But they LOOK like gang members, don't they?" Listen, if someone shaved your head, put you in a prison jumpsuit with shackles around your wrists and ankles then paraded you, head down, in front of cameras YOU'D look like a criminal gang member too.

How do we know they're Venezuelan gang members? Because Trump said so. No further evidence of their alleged gang affiliation has been provided.

Let's not forget that nature intends to kill you, if the existence of predators, disease, and natural disasters are any indication.
