The Border Crisis Is Helping to Mainstream a Dangerous Conspiracy Theory
Odette Yousef, NPR, February 9, 2024
As the election year gets underway, a conspiratorial narrative typically circulated by fringe movements has come to dominate mainstream Republican discourse on immigration, extremism researchers warn. Specifically, they say that rhetoric used by Republican officeholders about the surge of migrants at the border with Mexico increasingly echoes the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory that has inspired violence in the past and could do so again in the future.
“This is the idea that directly influenced the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue shooter, the El Paso Walmart shooter, the Buffalo supermarket shooter,” said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism [and Souther Poverty Law Center spokesperson].
[Note the guilt by association that Heidi Beirich pushes and her “extremism researchers” help create. It isn’t extremism to take note of demographic warfare or demographic replacement when, in fact, it is based upon facts on the ground.].
