    The term “concentration camps” usually doesn’t refer to places people volunteer to go to. The headline’s clickbait enough as it is.

      Love how people actually believe that RFK’s labor camp plan is voluntary, just because he said “where you can choose to go”.

      4 years of hearing Trump and his cohorts lie about literally everything, and you’re ready for another 4 of giving them the benefit of a doubt. Truly breathtaking naïveté.

        So what you’re saying is that the reality isn’t bad enough so we need to make shit up and exaggerate everything? Because I disagree with that. I think things are bad enough that you can just be truthful about it, and lying is actually counterproductive because it discredits legitimate criticism.

        Like if you want to talk about concentration camps, we’ve already got them for undocumented migrants.

        Yeah “choose to go” is a euphemism for “parents can decide to send their children against their will”
