That most likely is the case.
But an areal picture of a bunch of cheap houses in a row isn't that good of an argument.
Also, the Holocaust was more about the gas chambers than the locking up.
Gas chambers were first trialled in October 1939 and went into regular use in early 1940.
Hitler came to power in January 1933. So it took 6 years and 8 months (or 80 months in total) to get from getting to power to gassing people.
Hitler only started mass deportations in October 1938, so 5 years and 8 months (or 68 months) after he got to power.
Trump has been in power for less than 6 months now.
You in a couple of months: "They aren't gas chambers. They are called deoxygenation rooms. It's clearly different."
That is a dumb assumption.
If they are systematically killing people, doesn't matter how, then you can draw the comparison and I would agree.
But locking people up and deporting them has always happened in the US. The US is a prison state with regulated slavery for crying out loud.
