Republicans were also more likely to endorse rhetoric that echoes the so-called "replacement theory" — the false conspiracy theory that Jews or elites are deliberately replacing white Americans with immigrants and people of color. More than a third of all poll respondents agree that "native-born Americans are being systematically replaced by immigrants" — including more than half of Republicans.
i wasn't aware of this conspiracy theory... it's so crazy, i can't help but wonder the origins... so many questions... if people are getting replaced, where are they going?!? is someone's husband "Bill" white one day, and the next, still named "Bill" but dark skinned, speaks better spanish than english, and wears a sombrero white "Bill" never owned while mowing the lawn? do the neighbors not notice?
