I'm confused about why people are upset the use of "Never Again." While there are vast differences between the Holocaust and the situation on the border (mass, industrialized murder comes to mind), are you suggesting that a different concentration camp would've been better?

Like, would you be okay with the mass detention at the US border—in which children are dying—if they were just referred to by a different name? Would that make it feel better?

Or, is the actual issue here—and hear me out on this one—that Republicans are using the mock outrage over the memory of the Holocaust in bad faith in order to sink a political opponent?

Because that feels like the actual issue here.
