The Great Replacement Theory—It’s Not Great and It’s No Longer a Theory

One Saturday mid-May two years ago, a white man armed with an AR-15-style rifle entered a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and killed 10 people, almost all of whom were African American.

The gunman was suspected of having posted a 180-page racist diatribe in which he repeatedly referenced what was then still passed off to be an extremist conspiracy theory known as the “great replacement.”

This from theguardian.com.

Marketed as a set of racist, antisemitic, paranoid lies and delusions, the Great Replacement theory had bubbled up around the world more than a century ago.

In the U.S. this “theory” had since been expressed as:

[T]he false idea that an elite cabal of Jews and [d]emocrats is replacing white Americans with [b]lack, [h]ispanic, and other people of color by encouraging immigration and interracial marriage—with the end goal being the eventual extinction of the white race.

The “conspiracy” evolved from a series of ideas that, over time, stoked the fears of white people: The massive influx of immigrants of color into Europe beginning approximately in the 1890s fostered some of these fears and resulted in “white extinction anxiety.”

In the U.S., this ‘anxiety’ resulted in policies targeting immigration in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Collectively, a global movement arose which attracted a wide range of white supremacist, xenophobic and anti-immigration conspiracy theories. These theories were formally codified in the work of Frenchman Renaud Camus, first in his 2010 book “L’Abécédaire de l’in-nocence” and elaborated in his 2011 book “Le Grand Remplacement.”

Camus argued that ethnic French and white Europeans were being replaced physically, culturally, and politically by nonwhite people. He believed that liberal immigration policies and the dramatic decline in white birth rates were threatening European civilization and traditions.

Of recent, the theory has become a major idea to be either adamantly believed or adamantly dismissed, depending on which side of the political aisle you are seated.

[A]s many as 60% of the French population believing some aspects of it. According to that survey, they are worried or at least concerned they might be replaced. In the U.K. and the U.S., close to one-third of those polled believe that white people are systematically being replaced by nonwhite immigrants. Some in the U.S. fear that America might lose its culture and identity as a result.

Today the acceptable answer to the question “Are American citizens being displaced by the foreign-born?” depends on who is asking.

Concerned citizens are told not to believe their lying eyes, while the progressive Left celebrates a majority-minority future as a moral triumph.

The controversies surrounding the Great Replacement Theory and the reality of America’s transforming demographics are converging into a fearful reality that “ongoing population changes will transform our national culture and represent a deliberate policy of replacing white citizens” with manipulable subjects of color.

The United States faces an invasion which poses existential concern to both the security and sovereignty of our vanishing republic. Meanwhile, “large corporations and their political cheerleaders continue to clamor for the increased import of foreign labor” at the expense of American citizens.

The displacement of American labor under the H-1B program and similar guest worker visas drags down wages for all citizens, not just those put out of work, but has long been defended by corporate interests as a “necessity” to fill jobs that Americans either “won’t take” or “aren’t qualified” to fill.

The American political Left, therefore, describes the Great Replacement Theory as:

[A] racist conspiracy narrative that falsely asserts there is an active, ongoing, and covert effort to replace white populations in current white-majority countries.

However, the political Left touts the electoral benefits of demographic replacement while condemning people who believe this replacement is destructive.

To wit:

– When he was Vice President, Joe Biden described the ongoing border crisis in 2015 as a positive. ‘There is a second thing in that black box: an unrelenting stream of immigration, nonstop, nonstop,’ he said at the time. ‘Folks like me who are Caucasian, of European descent, for the first time in 2017 we’ll be in an absolute minority in the United States of America, absolute minority. Fewer than 50 percent of the people in America from then and on will be white European stock,’ he said. ‘That’s not a bad thing, that’s a source of our strength,’

– In 2021, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) gave a floor speech in the U.S. Senate and bragged that ‘The demographics of America are not on the side of the Republican Party. The new voters in this country are moving away from them, away from Donald Trump, away from their party creed that they preach,’

– That same year, Representative Yvette Clark (D-NY) touted the importance of illegal immigration for her district in terms of accruing political power, outright stating ‘We have a diaspora that can absorb a significant number of these migrants. And you know, when I hear colleagues talk about, you know, ‘the doors of the inn being closed,’ ‘no room at the inn,’ I’m saying, you know, I need more people in my district just for redistricting purposes,’ and

– [D]uring the latest Senate attempt to provide amnesty for illegal immigrants, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) told MSNBC host Chris Hayes that their strategy to push through legislation has failed to deliver ‘for the people we care about most—the undocumented Americans that are in this country.’

While the political Left attempts to smear anyone concerned about the mass importation of foreign citizens, the reality is progressives are pushing policies designed to supplant the interests of American citizens.

NOTE: Unchecked immigration and its consequent demographic transformation disenfranchises voters.

And the reality is demographic replacement is not a theory.

Replacement is indeed taking place, and it is an attack on American citizenship and American civic culture. Further, the replacement of white people with non-white people is very much political.

American taxpayers have been fleeced to provide overly generous handouts to both citizens and non-citizens alike, blurring the distinction between the two, and anyone who notices or objects is labeled a racist by the political Left.

Perhaps most disturbing is the human toll these policies are taking on American citizens:

The death of Kate Steinle on a San Francisco pier in 2015 at the hands of an illegal [alien], the murder of Mollie Tibbetts in Iowa in 2018 by an illegal [alien], and the recent murder of Laken Riley on the campus of the University of Georgia, also by an illegal [alien], underscore the painful price that citizens are paying for policies designed to supplant their interests to facilitate the unraveling of the American founding.

NOTE: The Obama/Biden Regime—in the wake of a now-public Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request—has gone beyond federal policies to mass import and provide a semblance of legal status to hundreds-of-thousands of aliens. The Regime:

[A]dmitted to using its CBP One phone app to import via air travel over 320,000 illegal immigrants into the interior of the United States since late 2022. All paid for courtesy of the citizen taxpayers actively being harmed by this mass importation agenda. And as recently as March of 2024, every Senate Democrat voted in favor of allowing illegals to count in the census for purposes of apportionment for House seats and the Electoral College.

Other examples of similar questionable behavior from around the country:

 – Washington State: Funneled nearly $340 million of COVID “relief funds” to a program that sent out $1,000 stimulus checks to illegal immigrants.

 – Colorado: Passed a law that grants licensing permits, rent and utility subsidies, and other state benefits to illegal immigrants.

 – California: Passed a law that expands Medicaid eligibility to all illegal immigrants at a cost of $6.5 billion annually. The state is also considering legislation that expands a taxpayer-backed zero down, no payment home “loan” program to illegal immigrants.

 – Oregon: Passed a law that expands a Medicaid program for illegal immigrants, conferring eligibility for the program regardless of “immigration status.”

 – New York City: Attempted to pass a law, which was later struck down, allowing non-citizens to vote in local New York City elections.

 – Washington D.C.: Passed a resolution allowing non-citizens to vote in local D.C. elections.

These initiatives fray the relationship citizens have with their government, but more distressingly, they render the concept of citizenship meaningless within the broader constitutional framework. And this is the masked reality of the replacement occurring within the United States.

Final thought: As American birth rates decline and the foreign-born population increases, demographic replacement of American citizens— the so-called “Great Replacement Theory”—is clearly not just a theory, but a reality.
