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.
Ok but there isn't really a totally perfect correspondence. Arguably Trump hasn't even started "mass deportations", just extremely brutal ones. They aren't actually managing to deport people faster than the previous administration right now, and Obama still holds the record by far. Anyway the important thing is it's not a one-to-one "they are deporting people so we are 80% of the way from them seizing power to death camps".
Of course it's not a 1:1. It's a counter to people thinking that the holocaust started five minutes after Hitler was in office.
Things take time, even horribly atrocities.
And saying "So far people haven't been gassed, so it's not an issue and the comparison to Hitler is invalid" doesn't really make much sense if you take into consideration how long it took for the Nazis to get to the point of Holocaust and WW2.
Oh, sorry, we're saying the same thing, I misunderstood your comment - I thought by "trump has only been in office six months" you were saying that was the equivalent of six years of the Nazis and that we should expect death camps in September.
Yeah, the schedule is not identical, he might be a few years ahead of schedule for the deportations, but then again his predecessors have already laid the groundwork for that.
But it's not a specific schedule that he has to follow.
I just really don't like the line of argument that comes up far to often that Trump can't be the new Hitler because Trump hasn't transformed the USA into 1945 Nazi Germany on the inauguration day. Neither did Hitler. It took him 5-6 years to start the holocaust and WW2, and even then the biggest atrocities still took a few more years on top of that.
You in a couple of months: "They aren't gas chambers. They are called deoxygenation rooms. It's clearly different."
