A Degenerate Art essay by a historian of concentration camps argues the U.S. under Trump is already deep inside the camp dynamic — mass detentions, secret-police-style agencies, and Nazi-like propaganda — and warns 2026 will be decisive for dismantling the system. Drawing parallels from Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and Chile, the author urges that camps cannot be reformed but must be dismantled, and asks readers to act now within a closing three-to-five-year window.
