i also can pretty much guarantee you that most of the people you’re seeing don’t view their mission as “dispelling racist claims that you’re an army from a foreign country” or whatever. they’re defending their communities, not pitching their cause to centrist pundits.

So it's now clear that what Trump is doing in LA is not a "distraction" but, in fact, anchored on this conspiracy theory.

Since Musk & Trump renewed the "white genocide" narrative, Reuters def:

The Great Replacement conspiracy theory fosters the belief that leftist and Jewish elites are engineering the ethnic and cultural replacement of white populations with non-white immigrants that will lead to a “white genocide.”

If you think this is far-fetched: ask yourself why during the campaign trail Donald Trump repeatedly accused Kamala Harris (former A.G and Senator of California, in context) for supposedly 'opening borders to allow in migrant voters'. It's because Republicans believe in the Great Replacement theory.

While the people of L.A. are protesting in solidarity with immigrants and racial minorities, and in the spirit of Lyndon B. Johnson; Trump & Miller are acting in the spirit of hate and division that Americans witnessed more than 50 years ago.

The Republican party has a history of xenophobia, racism and segregationist ideology.

Believers in the conspiracy theory have used it as a racist trope in an attempt to advocate anti-immigration policies and dogwhistle to xenophobic ideology. The theory has received strong support in many sectors of the Republican Party."

"...the far-right Great Replacement conspiracy theory holds the view that 'political elites' are purposefully seeking to increase the number of racial and religious minorities in an attempt to displace the Christian white American population.

I hope MAGA will do the same with vaccines.

It's funny how the FBI and DOJ have suddenly switched from being conspiracy theory peddlers to fighters of disinformation and misinformation on this matter.

While the criticism is that the sovereign can make anything right or wrong, Hobbes' implicit assumption is that the *content* of morality is given by 'reason' independently of the legislative will.
