How is this Not Nazism? [View all]

Hitler did the same thing... Accuse LGBTQ, and Jews of the cause of their WWI problems. To "Make Germany Great Again" they "cleansed" the population of these people and sent them to concentration camps in Poland and eventually, death camps. Then he went after the Court system. Attacked Education. Then the Speech police started arresting anyone that said anything against the government. We all know the horrors of Hitlers rise...
What we are witnessing is a redo of 1938 - 1945 rise of Hitler, in real time....
Sending anyone they deemed a criminal, out of the country, into a maximum-security prison, without any due process is right out of Hitlers play book....

So, I ask again... How is this not Nazism?
