If the “Great Replacement Theory” is about immigrants, why did the Buffalo shooter target Black people?

Also, what’s the difference between the “GRT” and just pointing out that white people will no longer be a majority in the US, white people on average have fewer children than Hispanic immigrants, etc? These things are facts. Is it presented in a hateful way? I don’t watch tucker Carlson/Fox News.

I didn’t even know it was a mainstream R concept until I came on this board and was told that’s the case. Do we know how this guy actually votes — or if he votes at all?

Don’t waste your energy, PP. Loons gotta loon. Trey Gowdy had a very powerful show tonight on the Buffalo shooting and white supremacists/extremists. Fox News, btw.

Political parties are organizations that do not have “beliefs” at all. Only people can have them. Just like games don’t have “integrity”; only the players can. But I don’t think you are saying that. I think you are saying the replacement theorists aren’t true Republicans. They are. The GOP is a membership organization. It’s positions are whatever it’s leaders say they are. The same way that today’s GOP does not have the same principles as it did under Abe Lincoln, which was different from Teddy Roosevelt, which was different again from Ike, and then again Reagan and Bush. Tucker Carlson has used it over 400 times on his show. If you expect me to swallow that TC is not a shill for the GOP, then you’re dumber than a bag of hammers. TC has been defended by Trump and Trumpies like Matt Gaetz and Stefanik.

Yet the traditional republicans do nothing to distance themselves from these people, in word or policy

They seem perfectly fine with it. Party > everything else.

So maybe that whole CRT thing was a diversionary tactic, huh.

A total “moderate” until she got a whiff of which way the wind was blowing and now she’s all in.

I only wish more people to vote Republican could see the reality that your party is gone it is full of MAGA Republicans, and if you don’t want to be associated with white supremacy/Q/ authoritarian wannabes, then you need to either vote Dem, or stay home.

Ronald Reagan was a white supremacist and so were Republican Party stalwarts like Strom Thurmond and Trent Lott. The hubris of some of these revisionists around here who act like Donald Trump injected racism into some sort of previously worldly, tolerant Republican Party is something to behold.

Strom Thurmond was a Dixiecrat who because a democrat and then switched to the GOP as the transformation away from the "Party of Lincoln" evolved after the Civil Right Act was signed. Lott was a Southern Democrats who switched to the GOP I think, in the early 1990's as well.

It galls me that people in the GOP today are still gaslighing the public, citing that phrase all while supporting the most extreme anti-Lincoln legislation and policies since the Jim Crow era.

And yet, there are smart people in this forum who don't see it.

Since the shooting occur, the response from that side has been (un)surprisingly muted.

Do you think they will ever admit that it is a bad idea to promote that sort of thing given the number of mash shootings that it has led to or will they remain silent while the killings continue?

It is a feature not a bug. And they will claim they are being cancelled or losing their First Amendment rights if any government entity tries to do something about it.

It’s not like any of them were pregnant with babies, who are actual people, as opposed to women or minorities. I’m sure that would be upsetting to the maga crowd.

Read the Post article above. Some Republican politicians and media figures have absolutely mainstreamed replacement theory so that even “normal” Republicans like Elise Stefanik are spouting it now.

Which Post article?

It’s baked into the pie. They had to go underground for a while, but when that dead guy Rush Limballs started making fun of “PC culture” and all that (the retread of which we’re living through with the GOP obsession with “woke”), they started to fly the flag again. And then Trump sent the flag all the way up the flagpole.
