I wanted to play devil's advocate here, but unfortunately did find an example of a "politically disapproved position" in frumple's post history:

"The deportations will continue regardless of the tantrums of the hysterical and mentally ill."

Which ironically is similar to some "1939 Germany" views.

Are you claiming that enforcing existing 2026 U.S. immigration law -- developed through decades of bipartisan agreement and consistent with policies in other liberal democracies -- is in any way comparable to 1939 Germany and their systematic murder of millions?

That comparison is precisely the problem: it distorts history, inflates moral claims, and shuts down serious discussion.

This is also largely the standard level of rhetoric on Bluesky, which is fine -- but manufactured consensus on a heavily moderated platform is not the same thing as factual or moral authority.

		Even if the current state of immigration policy was forged in a bipartisan agreement(it wasn't), it would be inhumane and I would condemn it. Fortunately the Republicans, specifically Tom Homan and Stephen Miller, can be shown to have a record of dehumanizing people to the point of cruelty. As far as anyone could tell they were behind the effort to separate children from their families, and the decision to intentionally destroy records, and prevent the recording of data, which ultimately left over a thousand children orphaned to this very day. I know someone in CBP who volunteered to try help sort that situation out, ready to get on a plane, paying out of pocket, and they were told to stand down by leadership. The republican-led executive branch wanted to inflict pain despite the law, and despite "policy". And now those same people (Homan and Miller) are behind the door-to-door raids, asking people for their papers, building detention centers(even though we're supposed to be sending them back home...), and targeting political enemies. Obama managed to deport 3 million people without this excess use of cruelty, civil rights violations, manpower, or money. This is something else. This level of hatred towards the other is the type of seed that may or may not grow into a holocaust. It's understandable if some people want to kill it before it sprouts by drawing obvious parallels.

1939 Germany wanted to do the invading, not combat it.

Are you trying to imply that Germany didn't deport anybody in 1939?
