A Texas Republican's vile rant shows 'great replacement' is becoming GOP dogma

[Zorro]

It is becoming a trend: More and more Republicans have been signing on to “great replacement theory.” Because this worldview posits various versions of a nefarious liberal scheme to replace native-born Americans with non-White outsiders, it’s often analyzed through a racial prism.

But also embedded in this GOP “great replacement” talk is a particular theory about democracy and self-rule. It’s a wretched vision, one that suggests a broader truth about the GOP’s ongoing abandonment of democratic values, and it deserves serious scrutiny on its own.

A particularly vile “great replacement” rant that Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) unleashed on Fox News opens a window on all of this.

“The revolution has begun,” Patrick told host Laura Ingraham. Speaking about the president, Patrick added: “A silent revolution by the Democrat Party and Joe Biden to take over the country.”

1. German fascists had the Jews, gays, gypsies, communists etc.

modern American christofascism has the Jews...the gays, the atheists, the poor, the blacks, the Hispanics, and on and on.

Not much a difference....so when do they start talking about camps and ovens?

2. I will not be rounded up. As many bullets as I can discharge will go into my eager captors' bodies.

And after I do my part to make the world a better place, I will take myself out.

I say again - I will NOT be rounded up.

Cheers!

3. Dan Patrick makes Greg Abbott look sane and reasonable.

Patrick is a complete and utter piece of shit. Always has been, always will be.

Still waiting for Patrick to "sacrifice" himself to save the economy.
