I don't think putting homeless people in jail is intended to help them.

That's an understatement. Locking people away simply because others don't like them sounds a lot like, I don't know, a non-Godwin's law exception.

It's disturbing when people even rhetorically-suggest breaking with common decency and dogwhistle encourage strong-man fascism.
