White Replacement Theory Is the New Black

Every election cycle, or so it seems, the media roll out a new slur against conservatives and Republicans. During 2016 we were “deplorables.” In 2020, we were all racists again…being called a racist is sort of a steady-state. In 2022, we were scheduled to be “insurrectionists.” The FBI carried out Stalinesque arrests of retirees for the equivalent of jaywalking. They were denied bail. A House select committee began investigating January 6. President Trump, already out of office, was impeached for giving a speech on the National Mall.

A funny thing happened, though. Over the course of 18 months, the media discovered that most people didn’t really care about January 6. For many of them, the treatment of the protesters, including the cold-blooded execution of Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt and the looks-suspiciously-like-bludgeoning death of Rosanne Boyland, made them more aware of the injustice of the proceedings. It is hard to run a campaign of personal destruction when the general public doesn’t care about your accusations, so it became imperative to move on.

The opportunity came on Saturday when a young man with a history of mental illness and a “manifesto” proclaiming the greatness of socialism and the environmental movement…and decrying the effects of “White replacement theory,” aka “The Great Replacement.”

“White replacement theory” holds that there is a conspiracy to exterminate white folks by legalizing interracial marriage and replacing Whites with non-White immigrants. If you lived in DC, in a working-class neighborhood, you heard the same theory reversed. The Plan was the White scheme to displace Black people from DC. The underpinning of the theory is the same sort of racialism that permeates the Black Lives Matter movement and Critical Race Theory. It holds that some people are more valuable by virtue of their skin color than others.

Where this is being weaponized for the 2022 election is the spin placed on it. For example, here is Jamelle Bouie of the New York Times telling us that White replacement theory is the GOP.

Make no mistake: The idea that apparently inspired a white supremacist who is accused of killing and injuring more than a dozen people last Saturday at a supermarket in Buffalo — that nefarious elites are using immigration to “replace” white Americans with pliant foreigners — is virtually indistinguishable from mainstream Republican rhetoric.

“This administration wants complete open borders,” said Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin in an interview last month. “And you have to ask yourself, why? Is it really [that] they want to remake the demographics of America to ensure that they stay in power forever?”

“The media calls us racist for wanting to build Trump’s wall,” said J.D. Vance, the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in Ohio, in a campaign ad. “They censor us, but it doesn’t change the truth. Joe Biden’s open border is killing Ohioans, with more illegal drugs and more Democrat voters pouring into this country.”

Hours after the shooting, a Republican Senate candidate in Arizona, Blake Masters, said on Twitter, “The Democrats want open borders so they can bring in and amnesty tens of millions of illegal aliens — that’s their electoral strategy.” And on Monday, the No. 3 Republican in the House of Representatives, Elise Stefanik of New York, tweeted that it was a “FACT that DEMOCRATS have been explicitly pushing for amnesty for years — specifically for political and electoral purposes.”

This is how the brainiacs at Vox.com describe it.

Throughout his presidency, Donald Trump repeatedly employed the arguments and tropes that form the basis of replacement theory — that white people were facing “white genocide” as a result of an “invasion” from foreigners. “We don’t want what is happening with immigration in Europe to happen with us!” Trump tweeted in 2018. The former president’s latest presidential campaign posted more than 2,000 ads that featured the word “invasion,” according to a New York Times analysis.

Following Trump’s fearmongering that a migrant caravan of Central Americans was on its way to the US’s southern border, other lawmakers adopted the language. Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) has repeatedly tweeted about an invasion that lawmakers need to take action against.

Former Iowa Rep. Steve King, who was in Congress from 2003 to 2021, constantly voiced fears about replacement. In 2017 he tweeted, “We can’t restore our civilization with someone else’s babies,” once retweeted a Nazi sympathizer’s fears about migration, and celebrated Hungary’s authoritarian leader Viktor Orbán for denouncing “mixing cultures.”

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson has perhaps become the foremost champion of replacement theory on the right. In about 400 episodes of his show since 2016, according to a New York Times analysis, he shared ideas about replacement. He even used the idea to defend the people who carried out the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol. “In political terms, this policy is called the great replacement, the replacement of legacy Americans with more obedient people from faraway countries,” Carlson said on his program last year in response to the Haitian migrants who arrived at the border.

What they are doing is conflating White replacement theory with immigration enforcement. In this new environment, you can’t oppose illegal immigration because of national security risks or economic reasons or because illegal immigration makes a mockery of the law. The only reason for opposing illegal immigration is because you are afraid that White people being outnumbered by non-Whites.

Opposing abortion is part of White replacement theory because it reduces the number of White births… unbeknownst to those making that claim, many more Black and Hispanic babies are killed by abortionists than White. So, logically, if you were a subscriber to White replacement theory, you’d be an abortion supporter.

This is all nonsense, and I suspect it, like Critical Race Theory and transgenderism, will blow up in their faces. Some of the strongest supporters of immigration enforcement are communities of legal immigrants.  They are making this claim because they have nothing. Joey SoftServe’s approval rating is in the mid-30s. The generic ballot gives the GOP a larger advantage than it had in 1994, 2010, and 2014. Gas will break $5/gallon this summer. June will mark the start of a diesel fuel shortage on the East Coast. You can’t buy baby formula. Inflation will hit double digits before Election Day. Home mortgage rates have more than doubled in the past year. They are the party identified with lockdowns, mandatory vaccinations, mandatory masking, critical race theory, and the sexual grooming of elementary school kids.

In a couple of weeks, this nonsense will have run its course, and they will be struggling to find a new line of attack…and failing.

  1. The left wants to control the language. They have succeeded turning the word gay from its original meaning of “happy” to homosexual. They control the language, therefore, they control the narrative. Colored people is out. People of color is in. Masculinity becomes toxic masculinity. The same with open borders. No more illegal aliens.
    Undocumented migrants is in. They are flooding the country with undocumented Democrats. It is racist to mention their goal, which is replacement. However, they are loud and proud of say they support the “browning of America”. They promote the browning of America as a good thing, yet deny they are doing in front of our own eyes. What hasn’t changed is that they are full fledged hypocrites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbjciJvacXY

    • And sadly, too may on our side are willing to cede control of the narrative by playing along with their Newspeak redefinitions… I annoyed a lot of people back on another site when I pointed out that they were doing this with the CHAZholes rebranding as “Occupy Protest.”
