1. Self-styled centrists can never be anti-fascist because their core commitment is to being critical of "both sides" (even if one side consists of racist murderers and the other of the milkiest of milquetoast liberals).https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1528067616362967043 …

2. In the wake of a mass shooting rooted in anti-Black racism, we're seeing a lot of "both sides do it" from people who pride themselves as independent non-partisan actors (Greenwald, Mounk, Sullivan), all dishonestly conflating banal sociology with conspiracy theories.

3. The conflation is between the idea that demographic change results in social/political change (almost a truism) and the conspiracy theory that a hidden cabal (often coded as Jews) are using immigration to commit white genocide. Those are not the same thing.

4. Making observations about demographic change isn't the Great Replacement for the simple reason that demographic change is an inevitable feature of all human (and animal!) societies. A species whose members die & reproduce will have demographic change.

"Making observations" lol. How about cheering on demographic change to destroy the GOP? As you have done relentlessly.

So it's not that cynical for Republicans to believe that Dems want open borders in order to gain votes, even though they don't seem to know how to win Latino votes. Yes certainly doesn't mean that the GOP is mainstreaming the great replacement theory, as we're now hearing

Except they are mainstreaming the great replacement theory. Along with Christian Nationalism and a lot of other odious trash. My family were Republicans from the time of the party's founding. I left in 1988 after seeing them embrace the hateful ideas they once fought against.

"Mainstreaming" is such an absurd way to frame this. That's just parroting a talking point

I'd have to say I'm much more honest on Twitter than you are, Jeet.
