"Great Replacement Theory, or the idea that White Christians are being outperformed demographically by non-Whites, threatening the survival of the race and 'civilization,' was central to Fascist ideologies and practices and it is central to anti-immigrant and other racist platforms of far-right parties and governments today."

I haven't seen a lot about this in the national news, but the lawyer for the 2019 El Paso mass shooter (Patrick Crusius) is now expressly stating that his client thought he was working for Trump to stop the "invasion" (by brown people) the president said was occurring in Texas.

https://elpasomatters.org/2025/03/30/patrick-crusius-donald-trump-aug-3-2019-walmart-mass-shooting/

Patrick Crusius believed he was fulfilling Trump’s wishes in El Paso attack, his attorney says

"Patrick Crusius believed he was acting at the direction of President Donald Trump when he murdered 23 people and wounded 22 others at an El Paso Walmart in 2019, his defense lawyer told El Paso Matters.

“He thought he had to stop the invasion because that’s what his president was telling him, which is just not rational,” defense attorney Joe Spencer said in his first extended interview about the mass shooting that Crusius said was meant to stop “the Hispanic invasion of Texas.”

“He thought, if he doesn’t do it, then nobody’s going to do it. He’s got to start,” Spencer said."

It's not lost on me that Trump sycophants and apologists have a whole ream of excuses at the ready; the shooter had a history of serious mental illness, his lawyer is a Democrat who (rightfully) thinks Trump's white nationalist rhetoric is dangerous, Crusius awkwardly tried to absolve Trump in his manifesto, and so forth. The fact is however that just because fascists are willing to spew disingenuous lies to cover up Trump and the larger fascist propaganda industry's involvement in motivating a mass murderer, doesn't mean any thinking person has to treat those disingenuous excuses seriously. This guy was one of Trump's legion of white nationalist fanboys; he was quoting Great Replacement conspiracy theories in his cut and pasted manifesto, he was adamantly against his lawyer subpoenaing Trump, and the shooter even admitted a 2019 Trump rally in Florida was the moment that convinced him to plan and enact the murders.

"Spencer said Crusius told him that a key event leading to the murderous rampage in El Paso occurred in May 2019 in Panama City Beach, Florida, when Trump spoke at a rally.

“I mean, you have 15,000 people marching up and you have hundreds and hundreds of people and you have two or three border security people that are brave and great,” Trump said, then added falsely that Border Patrol agents weren’t allowed to use weapons.

“But how do you stop these people?” Trump said.

“Shoot them,” someone in the audience shouted, drawing laughter from the crowd and a smile from the president.

“That’s only in the (Florida) Panhandle you can get away with that statement,” Trump said while shaking his head. “Only in the Panhandle.”

Crusius said he saw video of that Trump rally and was motivated to act, Spencer said. In June 2019, a month after the Florida Trump rally, Crusius purchased a semiautomatic rifle online and had it delivered to a gun dealer in his hometown of Allen, Texas, near Dallas, according to court records."

Like are you fucking kidding me? Please keep in mind that as you read this, the Trump regime is currently arguing that Venezuelan migrants are literally "an invasion" that justifies the president invoking war powers to ship them to a slave labor prison in El Salvador without due process. Of *course* this maggot fascist believed Trump was serious about migrants "invading" America and destroying the country because Trump himself is serious every time he says it! And the fact that Crusius was suffering from documented mental illness isn't a valid excuse either because when you tell folks that they're being invaded by brown people who're going to rape and murder them, you don't get to pretend its a surprise when vulnerable people high on your white nationalist conspiracy theories take that seriously; the negligence itself, is the problem here just as much as the overt race war rhetoric is.

By the way, don't sleep on the fact that the primary reason you're only hearing all of this now is that his lawyer has been under a gag order that was only dissolved in late March; you know, after Trump was elected again.

From the article:

Before neo-Nazi Anders Breivik massacred 77 people in Norway in 2011, he emailed a 1,518-page document, a compendium of his own writing and other far-right texts, to over 1,000 people. The deranged screed warned that Muslim immigration to Europe amounted to an “invasion” of people — whose culture was “incompatible with Western society — that would lead to the “cultural and demographic suicide” of the continent.

Earlier this month, the vice president of the United States went on TV to say the same thing. Speaking with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, JD Vance asserted that Germany is suffering an “invasion” of people who are “totally culturally incompatible” with “Western civilization.” This purported “invasion,” Vance said, will lead to a “civilizational suicide” if it’s not stopped.

It barely triggers a 24-hour news cycle anymore when the vice president and his boss, President Donald Trump, use the same language as fascist mass murderers.

So the #GreatReplacement theory promoted by alt-right came out to be not completely false… with one important nuance - it doesn’t apply to Europe or USA, but to Russia-occupied territories of Ukraine:

The Kremlin is trying to change the demographics in the occupied territories by importing migrants from Central Asia to replace the indigenous Ukrainian population and plans to merge Ukrainian and Russian regions to create a “Donbas” commonwealth, according to reports.

During his interview, he decried that there were “no longer Catholic children in Catholic lands,” accusing the church of the “intentional creation of mestizo (mixed race) children who are without history, without tradition, without education or culture, without identity, without homeland, and without faith, exploited to feed the globalist Moloch and the tyranny of the World Economic Forum.”

The above quotations cite a cornucopia of conspiracy theories and rhetoric common among antisemitic far-right movements.

This Pentagon Press Secretary Has a Long History of Bigoted and Xenophobic Posts

...

While Wilson deleted some of her tweets before beginning her DOD job, in the Trump Administration, they’re unlikely to be seen as a liability. While DOGE staffer Marko Elez resigned after the Wall Street Journal reported on his history of racist posts (“Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool,” one read), Musk said almost immediately on Twitter/X that he would be reinstated.

On social media, Wilson has made it clear that she brings her online stances into her personal life. “3 years ago today I went to a Halloween party dressed as Border Patrol and met my husband,” she tweeted on October 31, 2024 over a photo of herself wearing a green Border Patrol hat. “Be unapologetically right-wing. It will pay off.”

Excellent report on how US imperialism engineers immigration. 58% of Venezuelan migrants fled b/c sanctions caused an equivalent of 3 Great Depressions. That’s not an unintended consequence, the US deliberately creates a workforce of refugees who have no choice but to accept cheap wages.
