About 30% of California’s registered voters are Latino, and it appears they voted largely Democrat – but some say it was ‘about ensuring this state didn’t move backward’

The Fox News host has repeatedly fear-mongered about Democrats allegedly bringing in dark-skinned immigrants with the express purpose of “replacing” the American (read: white) electorate. On Wednesday night, he declared that the Biden administration is intentionally trying “to change the racial mix of the country” through immigration.

“In political terms, this policy is called ‘the great replacement,’ the replacement of legacy Americans with more obedient people from far-away countries,” Carlson exclaimed. “They brag about it all the time, but if you dare to say it's happening they will scream at you with maximum hysteria.”

Maybe Carlson hasn't met any of the Texas country club Republicans that only differ from their fellow Republicans in that they have a year-round tan...

I wanted to add 'Tucker, they are already here', but I wouldn't want some bad faith commentator to use that as evidence that I believe in the theory...

Being a Californian, my inclination is always to respond to this idiocy by pointing out "not only are the already here, but they were here first." Hence all the names on the land. And, being as he's from California too (embarrassing as that is), Carlson damn well knows it.

Part of the reasons that nobody around here ever got excited about Hispanics living here was that half the Hispanic families had been here for centuries.

We can replace the fascist conservative movement now via whatever harsh and ruthless measures are necessary, including arming newly arrived immigrants to earn their citizenship and voting franchises by removing the filth from the face of the Earth.

Or, we can spiral into savagely violent Civil War in 2024 as elections are stolen from our candidates across the country, and we will lose that war because fucking conservatives and their armed Trump vanguard are killers readying a nationwide genocidal killing machine to take the country and our government into permanent fascist custody.

So-called decent conservatives will once again throw their lot in with the fascist murderers as the former have become consistently everlasting mealy-mouthed tools to do the bidding of the scum murderous radical right.

Susan Collins of Maine, a lying, mealy-mouthed cheat of an excuse of a woman, has endorsed right wing lout Paul Lepage in his bid to retake the Maine Governorship.

Never turn your back on Collins. She’ll fuck anything and anyone and any principle at the drop of a hat.

These psychotic scum have killed themselves and their families with Covid-19 to assert their bullshit will to power.

Do we think they will hesitate to kill us once they assume power illegally?

Violence is all they have left.

Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson must be executed.

Just as Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot should have been executed before they did their worst, which they repeatedly told the world in great detail they would carry out.

Err, noone, if you had stopped before those last two paras, you would have been fine. Apply the brakes a bit. Thanks.

i'm so old i remember when mainstream "conservatives" would never admit to even knowing what replacement theory is.

The victims of the American conservative movement genocide take up CCU and morgue space so even more innocents can die of forcible neglect:

When will all of those concealed weapons be drawn and fired in self-defense:

A Hispanic friend who grew up in south Texas likes to tell those who ask when his family came to the US that they didn't do that at all. Rather, the US came to them.

Well that makes them quasi-natives, and you know what the conquerors think of those.
