The Great Replacement Conspiracy Theory & The Reaction from the Republican Establishment
Listen now
Description
In 2011, Renaud Camus published a book titled "Le Grand Remplacement," or as it's translated in English, The Great Replacement. In his book, he contends that the mass migration of people from the Middle East and Africa will destabilize white-dominated countries but, worst of all, lead to the extinction of the white race that will be orchestrated according to the conspiracy theory by the Jewish elite. In the years to follow, many political propagandists have adopted this ideology to promote racist and anti-immigration policies from a conspiratorial framework that has led conspiracy theorist extremists to take matters into their own hands. People like Payton Gendron, who on May 14th, 2022, drove 200 miles to Buffalo, New York to cleanse his community in what he regarded as the black invasion, and Makeila Griffin, who in 1999 engaged in anti-white rhetoric to prepare for what she referred to as the race war. In today's episode, Nelson looks into the origins of the Great Replacement Theory and how the political right has exacerbated this ideology.
