The most dangerous conspiracy theory promoted by Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene is an antisemitic, Islamophobic, White Nationalist, racist 2011 theory called 'The Great Replacement.'

This theory has fueled violence - yet Trump, FOX & the GOP continue to dog whistle to it #ThreadđŸ§”
If you’ve heard “You/Jews will not replace us” “white genocide” “open borders” or “George Soros funds migrant caravans" then you’ve heard someone advancing this.

It’s been called a “Genocidal Playbook” & was cited directly by the gunmen in Christchurch, El Paso & Pittsburgh 2/11
The conspiracy, as advanced by a French author in 2011, alleges that a cabal of liberal, global elites are pushing for diversity, open borders and high levels of immigration -- especially Muslim immigration -- as a way of undermining “white” culture and Western civilization. 3/11
If you haven’t been sucked into far-right YouTube/Facebook videos or extremist Twitter cesspools or message boards, this may be new to you.

BUT -- once you understand the theory of ‘The Great Replacement’, you’ll start seeing the references & dog-whistles again and again. 4/11
Here it is with the the “you will not replace us” chant in Charlottesville, 2017. 5/11 https://twitter.com/VICENews/status/1121787844257886209?s=20
Here’s a supercut by @MMFA of dog-whistles on Fox News. 6/11
Here’s Trump’s closing 2016 campaign ad. It prominently features three financial elites (all Jewish) pulling the strings for “massive illegal immigration” and policies that have “bled our country dry.” It references numerous conspiracy theories. 7/11 https://www.vox.com/presidential-election/2016/11/5/13534192/trump-ad-new-world-order-conspiracy-theory-neo-nazis
Trump is spending the last days before the election pandering to conspiracy theorists

Trump’s closing pitch to America is profoundly disturbing.

Here’s how Tucker Carlson does it. Note how one of his guests actually rips a phrase directly from the original French conspiracy manifesto in describing “reverse colonization.” 8/11
And here’s Majorie Taylor Greene sharing the theory. The video says “leftists, capitalists and Zionist supremacists” have a “deliberate aim of breeding us out of existence in our own homelands.” 9/11
Versions of “The Great Replacement” have been around for years. The Nazis had their own version too. While we may never rid the world of this toxic conspiracy, we can start by understanding it, recognizing it and refusing to tolerate it in any form. 10/11 https://act.jstreet.org/sign/marjorie-taylor-greene-must-be-expelled-congress/
