If you have recently compared what's going on in America to Nazis, the Khmer Rouge, Darth Vader, whatever, please take a moment to recalibrate. In 1967, we had 100,000 people storm the Pentagon and riots in a dozen American cities. Political bombings were routine in the 1970's.

So we have concentration camps for kids and you’re saying that we should ignore the parallels because there’s no mass graves yet and there’s no political extremism in the streets?

We do not have concentration camps for kids. I'm saying we should look for more fruitful parallels in our own history, that can teach us how to win in a difficult political moment.

We have concentration camps for kids. We should put everything in context but we have concentration camps for kids.
