Today's The Daily podcast is about this, too. It's chilling to the bone. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/16/podcasts/the-daily/buffalo-shooting-replacement-theory.html It's not just that this idea is spouted by such prominent Republicans, but when you tie it in with the R obsession with guns, you really feel like this is their plan. It's terrifying. |
LOL. The contemporary left spends its time pushing the idea that the United States is a fundamentally flawed enterprise that is just one step remove from an open klan meeting. |
+1 Republicans have been doing this for many years. |
DP. You know there are actually black (and Hispanic) Trump supporters? It's true. Not a huge number, but true. Diamond & Silk are the more "notable interesting" ones. |
And racially-motivated shootings by white radicals who hate black people do absolutely nothing to disabuse anyone of that notion. |
Not the US, just the Republican party. |

Shapiro is just upset because his podcast can’t beat The Daily and Smartless in Apple podcast’s Top Shows. |

Yes, demographics are changing. That's just objective statistics.
But the Big Lie in this cases is Republicans claiming that this is happening on purpose by Democrats as part of a larger plot to "replace" the "real Americans." That's the new Big Lie. And that's where the GOP is acting incredibly dangerous and providing motive/inspiring these lunatics with their guns. You can talk about demographic shifts without projecting malice onto others. That seems to be Republicans talking points this morning - deflecting from the fact that they are trying to pin blame on someone, anyone - minorities, Democrats, Joe Biden, Jewish, city dwellers - for the change in demographics. And then Republicans are stating that they will stop the changes. Pray tell, how? |
| Democrats need to start using the "great replacement" theory as GOP policy and come up with messaging. |
| I think both Republicans and Democrats live in bubbles. Yes, our demographics are changing! But if you knew any Hispanics, you would know they’re largely pretty conservative. So if Republicans could stop with the racism and ethnocentric rhetoric, they would actually be getting voters! They wouldn’t have to depend on voter suppression and gerrymandering to win. But I guess it’s easier to drum up fear than have an actual platform and policy positions. |
This. I know some really conservative immigrants (Hispanics). They vote R. Why do they assume that these people vote D??? |
