I'm dumbstruck as to what to do. The US is building literal concentration camps, and none of my co-workers care at all.

In fairness, I work in healthcare with an almost exclusively cishet white population who are financially well off.

Many of them espouse to be Christians, and no one cares at all that the American government is following the exact playbook from Nazi Germany.

What do you do? How do you make people care before it's too late?

The Nazis started under MUCH different circumstances. Also constantly comparing everyone and everything to "Nazis" makes you sound hysterical.

How were the circumstances "MUCH different"? Do you think the Nazis happened overnight? Are you not aware of who they targeted first (trans people)?

Read about the Weimar government, the economic crash, the street battles and the Freikorps, etc. Btw they targeted Jews and Communists first.
