The Buffalo Shooter Isn’t a ‘Lone Wolf.’ He’s a Mainstream Republican

[Guno צְבִי]

The right-wing extremists who control the modern GOP are all gripped by a racist delusion. The shooter is just the latest to act on it


Such was the case on Saturday, when a teenaged white supremacist named Payton Gendron opened fire in a supermarket in a Black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York, killing 10 people, while livestreaming the carnage on the live-video site Twitch. Prior to the shooting, he had posted a 180-page manifesto in which he laid out his rationale clearly: He was an adherent of what is called Great Replacement Theory, the idea that white people, in the United States and white-majority countries around the world, are being systematically, deliberately outbred and “replaced” by immigrants and ethnic minorities, in a deliberate attempt to rid the world of whiteness. It’s a conspiracy theory that has inspired terror attacks in New Zealand and Pittsburgh, San Diego, and El Paso – an ideology that marries demographic panic with the idea of a cunning, nefarious plot. Reading through the document, what struck me hardest, however, was how very close the killer’s ideas were to the American mainstream – the white-hot core of American politics.

While Gendron’s choice to engage in mass slaughter puts him on the radical fringe of those who enforce their beliefs with bullets, and his overt antisemitism differs slightly from vaguer blame of “elites,” “Democrats” and “globalists,” his fixation on white birthrates and demographic change are neither fringe nor particularly unusual. The gnawing fear of a minority-white America has utterly consumed conservative politics for the past half-decade, creating a Republican party whose dual obsessions with nativism and white fertility have engendered a suite of policies engineered to change the nature of the body politic. What unites murderers like Gendron, and the long list of white supremacist attackers he cited with admiration, with the mainstream of the Republican party is the dream of a white nation.

The GOP doesn't answer for the actions of socialists. Try calling the DNC...

There you go....all who refuse the Revolution are in need of some combination of reeducation and therapy. If they still refuse then they must be isolated to keep them from infecting the rest. If that does not work then they must be killed to save the rest.

There is no such thing as truth according to the Regressives, only power.

Whew, not we got "regressives" to go along with the "elite" and "revolution," can "globalists" be far behind?

Pretty soon we are going to need a scorecard to keep track
