Not in the 1940s when American citizens of Japanese ancestry were herded up and locked into camps.

Not when two centuries of terror, destruction and execution -- including bombing from the air -- were visited upon African Americans.

Not when we forced indigenous people from their ancestral lands, then waged biological and outright warfare on them because we wanted them out of our way.

You are subjected to one outrage after another, but each is calibrated to be short of the tipping point. After a while, people look around and think, "how the hell did we get to this?" Hitler did it. Trump is doing it now.

We've already graduated through the election rigging, roving gangs of political thugs beating up journalists and others, bombs sent to critics, politically-motivated mass shootings, I really don't care do u, looting the treasury, glad-handing murderous dictators, secret kremlin meetings, bone saws, destroyed translator's notes, midnight calls to putin, ignoring subpoenas, foreign agents roaming freely throughout government, neutering the justice department, shutting down the senate, "acting" heads of departments to escape scrutiny, improper security clearances, family members openly working against the country's interests, tanks in the streets, and the list goes on. Each one provokes an outrage but, apparently, not quite enough for anything to be done about it. Each step makes the next one easier. If you want to step up to the top of a 10-foot wall, you won't do it in one step. You must take smaller steps. Those are easy and will get you up there.

We're at the concentration camp stage now. You can't equate them with the likes of Buchenwald, at least not yet. There are no ovens, "showers" that are gas chambers, or machine guns. At least not yet. Innocent people are still dying at our hands, though. Cram enough of them together typhus will do the job for you, thanks to the lice fostered by the withholding of sanitary facilities. Actually, any communicable disease will do because there are no medical services.

This is a really important step because this involves outright lawlessness, cruelty and sadism. This may cause a little more outrage, but it, too, will evaporate. They're foreigners, after all. They chose to be here. They can always go back, they say. But the critical boundary has been breached. The steps ahead of us expand further into this world of lawlessness, cruelty and sadism that would never have been possible without these camps.

Ahead of us lie the steps where this "new normal" of lawlessness, cruelty and sadism creeps into everything like a rising tide. Each step ahead will become easier because the "incremental" change is just under the flash point that will trigger action, and the top of that wall gets closer and closer until, finally, there you are. You've made it. What will it be like? To quote a line from a scene in Star Trek The Next Generation:

PICARD on the Enterprise: "Number One. What is it? What do you see?"
RIKER on the planet below: "I don't know, Captain. But it's not good."

Been here since 2002 and still haven't figured out how to post photos.

I presumed we'd seen them elsewhere or could go to the link.

trump has destroyed America

Cleaning up all the mess he's made.

We will have his rancid stench long after he's gone

That, and the environment. In 2016, I was gobsmacked at how many supposed Democrats said the courts weren't a big issue.

he will get caught, but he will cause many people to get hurt.
