You clearly DON’T “get it”.. obviously Trump is different than Hitler, but to say he’s nothing remotely close is some serious handwaving.

ICE is acting a LOT like the Gestapo.

Trump is telling obvious lies and his supporters simply parrot it as fact. That was a big part of Hitlers power, the propaganda machine that made it acceptable for otherwise intelligent people to pretend to believe the obvious lies.

Trump is aggressively threatening to expand the empire, under similar dubious security reasons.

How much does history need to rhyme before you actually notice?

The Gestapo had the backing of the courts and the laws as well. Your argument is not as strong as you seem to think.

Also -- it's fairly well documented at this point that ICE is often without a warrant, and is detaining and in some instances deporting US citizens. These aren't one offs, and looking at what's going on in MN makes that pretty clear.
