Japanese internment camps would be an apt comparison.
It's not a remotely good comparison. One is rounding people up based on their ethnicity and the other is based on their actual political sentiment. Internment camps for supporters of Imperial Japan would have been incomparably more justified (even if we can talk about how that would not address other crimes involved in that "program").
As I said, there are a ton of Trump supporters who are not only against this, but voted for him for the sole reason to stop regime change wars. Yes, I know they were wrong to think that, but I also once believed that Obama would stop the wars and close Guantanamo Bay, so it's hard for me to throw stones here.
I have it on good authority that virtually none of the people involved in this story voted for Trump, so why are you mentioning this?
Post doesn't link the article and I'm lazy, so I'm only going off that title :/ Was I wrong to assume it was talking about American Trump voters, or the Venezuelans that support Trump?
You are correct, the article is not talking about a motorcycle gang armed with rifles going door-to-door hunting down Trump supporters in America. People doing that would instantly be shot by cops.
No, I meant Americans who live in Venezuela. I assume there's some? There's plenty of Americans who live in Mexico, while doing WFH in companies located in America, and there's protests in Mexico about kicking immigrants out, but that's not related to the story.
There are very few people in Venezuela with American citizenship, because Venezuela is still extremely poor (and "WFH" doesn't change them simply lacking resources) and such a person overwhelmingly is probably better off in America, plus VZ doesn't exactly have those voting records, so I don't think this has anything in particular to do with "Trump voters". This is about Venezuelans who support Trump kidnapping Maduro.
