America is hardly "the level of the Nazis."

Since you state it so categorically, I have a serious question. I'd appreciate a serious answer.

What is the difference between America today and Germany in WWII days, as citizens watched Jews being rounded up and sent to concentration camps to be legally tortured and killed?

Thanks in advance for a serious answer.

Well, for one, this is not an issue of persecution based on a race or religion. For another, if she'd had a living will stating otherwise this wouldn't be happening (I'm sure no Jew in Europe could have signed a document saying "I don't want to go to a camp" that would have prevented their slaughter). For another, she wasn't "rounded up." For another, these decisions are all based on testimony (whether true or not) that she did not wish to live in this condition. (I'm pretty sure no one claimed the Jews in WWII told them they wanted to die in a concentration camp).

Like I said, this is wrong and horrifying and sad, but hyperbole hardly furthers the cause.

The principal differences now are (1) numbers, (2) governmental decree vs. governmental sanction, and (3) non-imprisonment of dissenters. However, all the differences may vanish in a few decades.

God save the republic, or what's left of it.
