The irony of this narrative is that, like most political theses based on shifting demographics and group identity, replacement theory has long been identified with the left.
The conspiracy theory of a Great Replacement is now part of the Republican mainstream.
This is how the Washington Post manages to brand Rep. Elise Stefanik as an adherent to the theory: "While Stefanik has not pushed the theory by name, she and other conservatives have echoed the tenets of the far-right ideology as part of anti-immigrant rhetoric that has fired up the Republican base ahead of the midterm elections."
Note that Stefanik is somehow guilty of promulgating replacement theory, despite never having uttered the term.
On MSNBC, Democratic "Branding expert" Donny Deutsch explained why this smear campaign is necessary and how it can be used to deceive the voters: "We don't have the economy on our side as Democrats. So you have to scare the bejesus out of people." He then advises that the best way to thus frighten voters is to brand the GOP as the racist replacement party.
The same tactic is being used by Democrats like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who insinuates that replacement theory is integral to the GOP belief system.
If the Democratic Party had competent leadership, they would shut up about the great replacement theory and produce plausible plans to solve real problems.
