I.e., this is the point where the leader is singling out his political opponents for concentration camps, and inciting his fascist base to normalize, and rally around, the concept of concentration camps for Americans.
Much like 1933, the fascist propagandists have chosen to weave a narrative of a country under attack by arsonists, and to amplify this unmoored-from-reality catastrophe narrative into a pretext for suspending the constitutional order.
The arsons are a small blip in a country of 300 million+ people, not a national threat. This presidential concentration-camp tweet is an unhinged response no matter how you slice it.
Punishment's main goal is to discourage the behavior. If old one doesn't cut it anymore they usually make it worse, no matter the times we live in, or subject. That's how it goes, anything to stop bad behavior.
Saying this as an outsider, not even from the US.
