Concentration camps killed and tortured millions.

At this point, you’re very much still exaggerating.

This is exactly how it happened.

From its rise to power in 1933, the Nazi regime built a series of incarceration sites to imprison and eliminate real and perceived "enemies of the state." Most prisoners in the early concentration camps were political prisoners—German Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats—as well as Roma (Gypsies), Jehovah's Witnesses, gay men and men accused of homosexuality, and persons accused of "asocial" or socially deviant behavior. Many of these sites were called concentration camps. **The term concentration camp refers to a camp in which people are detained or confined, usually under harsh conditions and without regard to legal norms of arrest and imprisonment that are acceptable in a constitutional democracy. **

Explain to me how sending people to Guantanamo Bay, already infamous for torturing inmates, is somehow not exactly this?

I cannot BELIEVE people will hand wave stuff like this or Elon's Nazi salute so we have to wait until they've killed a million people before we're ALLOWED to say what we KNOW is happening.
