The more you yell and scream that every run of the mill Republican is as loony as the Buffalo shooter, the more you lose credibility in the eyes of average people.

It would be the same as saying every democrat is as loony as the monster that drove his car into the waneushka crowd or shot up the congressional baseball game.

I think the difference between the two parties is that Dems would shut down any racist rhetoric, especially regarding immigrants. Rs, not so much. They embrace it as a battle cry now.

Not every R are loons, but they seem to keep voting in the loons every election cycle, and it just keeps getting worse and worse.

I am old enough to remember when the R leadership would stomp down all racist rhetoric, and no outright racist would ever win a national election. Not so anymore.

Worse, they gaslight us about it.

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???

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.

She just did it again.

Democrats need to start using the "great replacement" theory as GOP policy and come up with messaging.

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?

Ben Shapiro contradicts himself in those tweets and you think he is right? LOL

Shapiro should rethink his public musings and shout his nonsense into Trump Social / Parlr / Getter / RWNJ app.

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

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.

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.

What has the Dem party done to distance themselves from the Milwaukee car murderer? The murderer of the officer at the Capitol?

A gunman was just in a church in Laguna Woods and was hog-tied by parishioners. Any mention here yet?

I haven’t asked (and won’t ask) Democrats to distance themselves from these people because these crimes were caused by individuals who made a choice, not by party

None of the peoplel who mentioned were motivated to commit their crime by a racist conspiracy that Democrats and their supportive media actively promote.

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.

Not the US, just the Republican party.

And racially-motivated shootings by white radicals who hate black people do absolutely nothing to disabuse anyone of that notion.

Sorry your party leader defended white supremacy during Charlottesville. While not every Republican is racist, every racist is a Republican. White supremacy has a home in the GOP.

The person who told me to ‘go back to Israel’ was a person of color. So not really true.

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.

Republicans have been doing this for many years.

Which Post article?

It’s the third post on this thread. Here it is with no paywall:

Conservative media is familiar with Buffalo suspect’s alleged ‘theory’
https://wapo.st/3Mi9TFp

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.
