Interest in the racist "replacement theory" cited by Tucker Carlson is now hitting *all-time highs.*

arimelber.substack.com/p/fact-checkin…
Replacement Theory is pitched partly as propaganda for people who do not consider themselves racist or extreme, as we document in this new report:

There’s a long history of bigots using junk science, or invoking “empirical” arguments, to mainline views that boil down to racism, anti-Semitism and assorted bigotry.

Tucker Carlson is literally pushing replacement theory, claiming Democrats aim to:

"Replace [today's voters] with more obedient voters from the Third World."

From prison to deportation to now winning an election -- the story of @OriginalShyne offers some real lessons and inspiration:

How many rappers from Belize do you know who moved to the US, made it on a major record label, did a (questionable) bid, and then followed their faith to Israel?...
As an elected legislator who beat prison, @OriginalShyne knows his specific path was *unusual* -- but he believes the lessons are actually universal:

In the peak of the BLM protests, activists pleaded with America *back then* about what would happen *now* --

"Support us when it's not trending"...

@TheBeatWithAri
"Trending” captures our current era, where virtually all topics — even state-sanctioned murder — are reduced to their “viral” elements.

An issue or stance becomes “hot,” then fades like it’s some sort of fashion...
The sign's from last summer; @kendricklamar tackles the same theme in his new song:

"I thought you'd known better
I been ducking the pandemic [and] social gimmicks
I been ducking the overnight activists
I'm not a trending topic / I'm a prophet!"

Many in Washington are getting Afghanistan wrong, again.

"There is a real chance" the decision to exit Afghanistan will spark problems there that "destroy Biden’s presidency."

- Ian Bremmer
A lot of the D.C. critique of withdrawal isn't *even about* what the ideal foreign policy should be -- but whether withdrawal will hurt Biden with the public... which *supports withdrawal.*

Dr. Fauci on why Delta is making Covid surge now:

Delta has a great "capability, effectiveness and efficiency in going from person-to-person. Its transmissibility is really quite competent."

THIS.

Dr. Fauci on why you should get vaccinated in *one* sentence:

"99.5% of U.S. Covid deaths are among unvaccinated people."

Fauci is also measured on young people's perspectives, saying:

It's true "they generally don't get into trouble, but they *do sometimes get seriously ill*...

On the Supreme Court, justices go to great lengths to tout American democracy for the nation — while avoiding its trappings in their own work.

They do not organize themselves by party.

They do not negotiate with each other over rulings.

They do not endorse political views..
.. Justices say they follow the Constitution’s edict, that only by *avoiding politics* can the judiciary be an effective *referee for democracy.*
SCOTUS passed one partisan test:

Whether to take cases questioning the election, as demanded by a President who gave three of the justices their lifetime jobs.

The court rejected *even hearing* any of those suits, because Trump's lies had no merit.
