What The GOP’s Embrace Of ‘Great Replacement Theory’ Looks Like

This happens a lot on their side. They don’t really quite understand whatever batshit conspiracy they’re trying to signal and they only have a very loose grip on the terminology. It’s all so very craven and cringeworthy. It reminds me of this scene from 30 Rock.

“por que no los dos”, indeed. What we see here is a failure of imagination on my part.

Might be time to start wearing steel-toed shoes to church.

Exactly.

It would be great if the Dems would go on the offensive and use the language that’s so dearly missing from the narrative as to how the GQP are destroying the foundations of the country. But no one wants to offend anyone, so the Dems stand by and watch the house burn down.

The base is smaller than people realize. Repugs have no winning arguments and their shameless pandering is alienating more than attracting.

Someone coined the acronym WRT this weekend. Use it as a cudgel.

Totally mainstream now, here is a comment over at Redstate…Poor little white men, treated so bad

You can’t legally discriminate against white men for over half a century and not expect some men to be filled with murderous rage. While this killer deserves the death penalty, there will continue to be these events as long as Affirmative Action and other racist laws are in effect. If you want peace between the races, then equality under the law is the only solution.

Doesn’t matter.

The Left and Center don’t show up at the polls. I’ve seen documentation that says the GQP turnout is pretty much the same every election. The rest of us show up very sporadically, enough so that even with smaller numbers, they win elections because the opposition doesn’t vote, except in Presidential elections and then only some.

That’s how we got here - the GQP voter shows up all the time and shows up angry; the Dems show up once in a while and meh. We suffer from the unicorn disease; they show up to pwn the Libs.

This is why banning high capacity magazines was the very fucking least we could do.

Dude was reloading folks hit him with a chair, tied him up.

Personal protection and hunting do not require high capacity.

I’m all for gun ranges loaning high capacity mags while on premises.

Otherwise…Ban them.

Horse is out of the barn but we can still make possession of them a felony. No jail time but 5 years probation and loss of ability to own firearms for 20.

Even though I’m acutely aware of Fetterman’s stroke (I think that you all know I’m an anxious Pennsylvanian), when I first read “Strokes” in the headline, my mind went somewhere else…

Hand wringing and political demagoguery coming right up…one of the most critical issues of our time and our reps just can’t see their way clear to even pretend to address it…

That didn’t even occur to me. She’s just trying to hang with the cool kids without entirely understanding the code. :smile:

Seems like her brain damage is contagious within the confines of her office. Maybe someone should look into that.

Coxswain gun?

Here in PA we should be thankful that Fetterman’s stroke did little or no harm and Shapiro is doing well in the polls.
Fortunately, according all Repubs running for office all other Repubs running are worthless.

I had to go to Wiki just to see if Hartford is really a city.

Excerpt:

Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia told ABC News on Monday that had the teen evaded arrest, he would’ve continued his rampage. Many have questioned why he wasn’t shot by police and wondered if a Black perpetrator would have been walked out of the store alive.

“We have uncovered information that if he escaped the [Tops] supermarket, he had plans to continue his attack,” Gramaglia told ABC. “He had plans to continue driving down Jefferson Ave. to shoot more Black people… possibly go to another store [or] location.”
