I used to love to go camping

A very sophisticated way of showing disinterest towards someone confiding something personal to you, and a deliberately poor attempt at relating, by being vague about similarities you can't or won't get into.

It's a direct quote from the character Walter White from Breaking Bad:

Hank has a drink with Walt and goes on a monologue about his old job of tagging trees to be cut down.

Hank says, “Tagging trees is a lot better than chasing monsters”. After a long pause Walt replies, “I used to love to go camping”.

Should only be used on e.g toxic people who traumadump on you, or people who've seen Breaking Bad way too much and will partly be in on the "joke".
Annoying person: So long story short, he kept cheating on me for 5 more years, and after all this mess I'm completely through with dating.

You: Yeah, I used to love to go camping.

A weird P.E. and music teacher who REALLY likes children, so much that he consistently touches them and gives them candy. STAY AWAY!

In conversation or online, this is a phrase directed at leftists by liberals. They use is it when a leftist (e.g., someone against the US government's facilitating ethnic cleansing) suggests they, for example, might not support a Democratic candidate in an election. The liberal is suggesting that, by not supporting the Democratic candidate willingly funding genocide, the country will elect a right-wing candidate who will throw the leftist and their family into a concentration camp. By implication, In this scenario, the middle-of-the-road liberal knows that they and their family will NOT end up in a camp because they will escape notice. By further implication, but perhaps not admitted by the liberal, the liberal will escape the camps because they will hide or change their purported values. Historically, in Nazi-era Germany, Romania, Portugal, and elsewhere, the liberal center, when given a choice between fascists and the left, have chosen fascists. This was because the fascists offered "order" and the protection of their property (as long as the liberal was of the correct race or politics).
Original poster: Far be it from me to tell anyone how to vote, but if these college kids don't rally around the Dem candidate the Republican will be a nightmare. He'll round up protestors.
Leftists respondent: well, for the kids currently being literally blown to pieces by American-made bombs, authorized for export by the Dem candidate, there is no greater nightmare.
Original poster: oh, you don't want to vote for the Democrat? Well, then have fun in the camps!
