You can certainly call Trump a neonazi. I agree with that. I wouldn’t do it because I don’t think his ideology a good enough fit for all the ideas that Neo-Nazi means (e.g. the afformentioned master race habitat expansion) so it can sound like accusing him of ideas he doesn’t have.
Also I assume you are missing some facts. So let me give you those.
Concentration Camps are not the same as Death Camps. Both are horrible but creating a system to efficiently deport immigrants and creating a system to efficiently murder immigrants are two very different things.
The Kristallnacht happened in 1938. all over Germany a couple hundred jews were killed by the joint effort of NSDAP groups and german civilians. 1400 jewish religious sites were destroyed. All in a few days. The Nuremberg Laws were passed in even earlier in 1935. They wrote into law that Jews and their descendants weren’t part of the german people. That was the justification to illegalise Jewish and non Jewish marriagees.
Whether something similar to kristallnacht happens with immigrants here, I don’t know but I wouldn’t put it outside the realm of possibility. Yes, we know mass deportations will lead directly to concentration camps. Whether that gets ramped up to death camps no one can say right now. I don’t think it’s likely so far but Trump is unpredictable. Hopefully we don’t see any of that.
I will say that there is ‘master race’ ideology inherent to white supremacy and white nativism. Border expansions into Mexico or Canada seem unlikely, I bet it’ll be more an attempt to further expand US Imperialism and continuing to embolden Israel’s Settler Colonialist expansion in the Middle East
This sure feels like the beginning of the collapse of the American Empire, and besides the slim hope of popular resistance, all of it seems to be heading in a very bad direction
