YEAH!
My hunch is that these ten new cities will not be very diverse. New babies to combat ‘replacements’.

Here is the Tucker Carlson Op-Ed in Question:
Let me begin by saying I have never been a Democrat. I have never voted in a Democratic primary in my life.
“Native-born Americans of every race and class are being systematically disenfranchised. We need to start talking about it”
“Last week, we said something on television that the usual chorus of hyperaggressive liars is now pretending was somehow highly controversial. Ordinarily, we’d ignore all of this. Once you’ve been denounced as a White supremacist for quoting Martin Luther King Jr., you realize such criticism is all just all another form of social control. Honestly, who cares what they think?”
“But in this one case, we thought it might be worth pausing to restate the original point, both because it was true and worth saying, and also because America badly needs a national conversation about it.”
“America badly needs a national conversation about it.”
“The recent controversies regarding refugees and immigration more generally are an affront to these core Christian values. This is not a matter of who the president is or which party is in power; rather, this is a matter of Christian witness and discipleship. We should be turning toward refugees from vulnerable parts of the world, not away from them.
Jesus would have none of this. Jesus was a refugee. Jesus is a refugee. Those of us who seek, with God’s help, to follow Jesus as best we can do well to turn toward those who most need refuge and assistance, without regard to their religion or national origin.”

“On Thursday, our friend Mark Steyn guest-hosted the 7 p.m. hour on Fox. He did a segment on how federal authorities are allowing illegal aliens to fly without ID — something that, in case you haven’t noticed, you are not permitted to do. The following exchange took place in response to that story:”
“TUCKER CARLSON, ‘FOX NEWS PRIMETIME’, APRIL 8: I’m laughing because this is one of about 10 stories that I know you’ve covered where the government shows preference to people who have shown absolute contempt for our customs, our laws, our system itself, and they’re being treated better than American citizens.“
“Now, I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term “replacement,” if you suggest that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World. But they become hysterical because that’s what’s happening, actually.“
“Let’s just say if that’s true, if look, if this was happening in your house, if you were in sixth grade, for example, and without telling you, your parents adopted a bunch of new siblings and gave them brand new bikes and let them stay up later and helped them with their homework and give them twice the allowance that they gave you. You would say to your siblings, “You know, I think we’re being replaced by kids that our parents love more.” And it would be kind of hard to argue against you because look at the evidence.“
“So this matters on a bunch of different levels. But on the most basic level, it’s a voting rights question. In a democracy, one person equals one vote. If you change the population, you dilute the political power of the people who live there. So every time they import a new voter, I’d become disenfranchized as a current voter. So I don’t understand. I mean, every wants to make a racial issue out of it. “Oh, the White replacement.” No, no, no. This is a voting rights question. I have less political power because they’re importing a brand new electorate. Why should I sit back and take that? The power that I have as an American, guaranteed at birth, is one man, one vote, and they’re diluting it. No, they’re not allowed to do that. Why are we putting up with this?“
“Why should I sit back and take that?“
“The power that I have as an American, guaranteed at birth, is one man, one vote, and they’re diluting it. No, they’re not allowed to do that. Why are we putting up with this?”“
“At least one prediction came true right away, all those little gatekeepers on Twitter did become hysterical. They’ve spent the last four days jumping up and down furiously, trying once again to pull the show off the air. Once again, they will fail, though it is amusing to see them keep at it. (They get so enraged. It’s a riot.)”
“TUCKER: EVERY TIME DEMOCRATS ‘IMPORT A NEW VOTER,’ THEY DILUTE AMERICANS’ POLITICAL POWER“
“But why all the anger? If someone says something you think is wrong, is your first instinct to hurt them? Probably not. Normal people don’t respond that way. If you hear something you think is incorrect, you try to correct it. But getting the facts right is hardly the point of this exercise. The point is to prevent unauthorized conversations from starting in the first place. “Shut up, racist! No more questions!” You’ve heard that before.”
“You wonder how much longer they imagine Americans are going to go along with this; an entire country forced to lie about everything all the time. It can’t go on forever, but you can see why they’re trying it.”
“Demographic change is the key to the Democratic Party’s political ambitions. Let’s say that again for emphasis, because it is the secret to the entire immigration debate: Demographic change is the key to the Democratic Party’s political ambitions. In order to win and maintain power. Democrats plan to change the population of the country. They’re no longer trying to win you over with their program. They’re obviously not trying to improve your life. They don’t even really care about your vote anymore. Their goal is to make you irrelevant.”
“That is provably true. And because it’s true, it drives them absolutely crazy when you say it out loud. A hurt dog barks. They scream about how noting the obvious is immoral, that you’re a racist if you dare to repeat things that they themselves proudly say. Most people go along with this absurd standard and dutifully shut up; they don’t think they have a choice. But no matter what they’re allowed to say in public, everyone understands the truth: When you change who votes, you change who wins. That fact has nothing inherently to do with race or nationality. It’s the nature of democracy. It is always true. You can watch it happen for yourself and you probably have.”

“All across the country, we have seen huge changes in election outcomes caused by demographic change. New people move in and they vote differently. As a practical matter, it doesn’t matter what they look like or where they’re from, even. All that matters is that they have different political views. This is every bit as true when the migrants come from Brooklyn as when they come from Oaxaca.”
“New people move in and they vote differently.“
From getting a green card to taking the U.S. citizenship test and interview, it can take quite a long time to become a U.S. citizen. Currently, it takes about 6 months to a year to get U.S. Citizenship from the time you apply. The citizenship process actually starts when you first get your US green card. The article below outlines the requirements for U.S. citizenship and the time frames for each one.
Citizenship Eligibility Requirements
In most cases, you must meet the following requirements before you can file an application for U.S. citizenship:
* You must be a lawful permanent resident (green card holder).
*You must be at least 18 years old.
*You must show that you have been continuously present in the U.S. for at least five years. (You only need to have been continuously present in the U.S. for at least three years if you are married to a U.S. citizen.)
*You must show that you have lived for at least three months in the same state or USCIS district where you currently live.
Please keep in mind that the requirements might vary depending on your personal circumstances and the reason why you qualify for U.S. citizenship.

“In 2020, Biden won Miami-Dade County in Florida with 53.4% of the vote, but Trump took 61% of Miami-Dade’s 482 majority-Latino precincts, up from 26% of them in 2016.
In 2020, Biden won Maricopa County in Arizona with 50.3% of the vote. He won all 109 of the majority-Latino precincts in the county. In more than half of them, his margin of victory was smaller than Hillary Clinton’s was in 2016.
In 2020, Biden won Harris County in Texas with 56% of the vote. He won 279 of 299 majority-Hispanic precincts in the county, but there was a net shift to Trump in 86% of them.”

“In Vermont, White liberals fleeing the mess they made in New York turned the state blue. As recently as 1992, Vermont was reliably Republican, as hard to believe as that is. Vermont is now a parody of lifestyle liberalism. That’s demographic change at work. You see the same thing happening in the state of New Hampshire as refugees from Massachusetts flood north and bring their bad habits with them.”
“Montana, Idaho, and Nevada all face similar problems. The affluent liberals who wrecked California aren’t sticking around to see how that ends. They’re running to the pallid hideaways of Boise and Bozeman, distorting local culture and real estate markets as they do it. Pretty soon, people who are born in the Mountain West won’t be able to live there. They’ll be, yes, replaced by private equity barons, yoga instructors and senior vice presidents from Google. Beautiful places are always in danger of being overrun by the worst people. Ask anyone who grew up in Aspen.”
“But in most of this country, it is immigration from other nations more than anything else that has driven political transformation. This is different from what we’ve seen in places like Vermont. Americans have every right to move to new states if they want, even if they have silly political opinions. But our leaders have no right to encourage foreigners to move to this country in order to change election results. Doing that is an attack on our democracy. Yet for decades, our leaders have done just that, and they keep doing it because it works.”
“Consider Virginia. The counties across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. now contain one of the largest immigrant communities in the United States. Most of these immigrants are hardworking and decent people. Many have been very successful in business. Good for them. But they also have very different politics from the people who used to live there. Their votes have allowed Democrats to seize control of the entire state and change it into something unrecognizable. Governor, Blackface Klanrobes in Richmond owes his job to immigrants in Arlington and Falls Church.”
“Similar trends are now underway in Georgia, North Carolina and many other states. Mass immigration increases the power of the Democratic Party, period. That’s the reason Democrats support it. It’s the only reason. If two hundred thousand immigrants from Poland showed up at our southern border tomorrow, Kamala Harris wouldn’t promise them health care. Why? Simple: Poles tend to vote Republican. That’s the difference. Democrats would deport those migrants immediately. N hand-wringing about how we’re a nation of immigrants. Hundreds of thousands of likely Republican voters massing in Tijuana would qualify as a national crisis. We’d have a border wall by Wednesday.”
“For Democrats, the point of immigration is not to show compassion to refugees, much less improve our country. It’s definitely not about racial justice. Mass immigration hurts African-Americans, perhaps more than anyone else. Immigration is a means to electoral advantage. It is about power. More Democratic voters mean more power for Democratic politicians. That’s the signature lesson of the state of California.”
“Between 1948 and 1992, the state of California voted for exactly one Democratic presidential candidate. Among America’s big population centers, in vivid contrast to Chicago and New York, California was reliably, proudly Republican. For eight years, no less a figure than Ronald Reagan ran the state. California had the country’s best schools, the best infrastructure, the best economy, not to mention the prettiest national environment on the planet. California was a model for the world.”
“But since Reagan campaign literature today describes him as “the greatest tax-cutterm in the state’s history,” it is instructive to look at the figures.
It is true that Reagan was able to return $5.7 billion to Californians in the form of tax relief. This included property-tax reductions of $2.4 billion, abolishing the personal property tax on household effects, reducing the business inventory tax, and providing renter and senior citizen assistance.
However, every major form of state tax collection rose over the same period. Sales taxes were boosted from 4 percent to 6 percent. The maximum income tax rate went from 7 percent to 11 percent. The banking and corporate tax rate rose from 5.5 percent to 9 percent. Between Brown’s last year in office and the end of the Reagan administration, the annual state budget had climbed from $4.6 billion to $10.2 billion.
To put all of this in personal terms and adjust for inflation, the total real per-capita tax load in California went from $426.26 to $5556.84 (an increase of 31 percent) over this same period.”
https://www.csmonitor.com/1980/1001/100148.html
“According to Bruce Bartlett, who worked as a senior policy analyst in the Reagan White House, the award for the largest state tax increase proposed by a governor in U.S. history goes to his former boss. As we honor the centennial anniversary of the birth of former California Governor and President Ronald Reagan, it is only fitting to give credit where credit is due. Governor Reagan’s 1967 tax plan – equal to nearly a third of 1967-68 General Fund spending – stands as the largest state tax increase not only here in California, but for the nation as a whole. The Reagan plan, according to Bartlett, raised the top income tax rate from 7 percent to 10 percent, the sales tax rate from 3 percent to 5 percent, the cigarette tax rate from 3 cents to 10 cents per pack, the alcohol tax from $1.50 to $2 per gallon, the bank and corporate tax rate from 5.5 percent to 7 percent, and the inheritance tax rate from a range of 2 percent to 10 percent to a range of 3 percent to 15 percent.”

“In 1980, Ronald Reagan, California’s former governor, became president of the United States. In retrospect, it never got any better for California. Midway through his second term, Reagan signed something called the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Though he likely didn’t realize it at the time, that law made future Ronald Reagans impossible. The Immigration Reform and Control Act brought about an amnesty, and a path to citizenship, for nearly three million foreign nationals living in the U.S. illegally. The next year, by executive order, Reagan added to that number. He halted the deportation of another 100,000 illegal minors, the Dreamers of his day.”
“Ultimately, 2.7 million individuals were granted legal status under the law.[1]“
https://ballotpedia.org/Immigration_Reform_and_Control_Act_of_1986
“The rest of the world watched carefully as this happened. Would-be migrants everywhere concluded that there was no real penalty for breaking America’s laws. In fact, there was a reward. Reagan also signed a law that required hospitals to provide free medical care regardless of immigration status. The Supreme Court had already guaranteed free education to anyone who showed up without a visa. So: Free hospitals, free schools, and amnesty if you get caught. Why wouldn’t the rest of the world come? They soon did.”
“First, they saw legalization as essential to protecting and integrating immigrants. “The work to be done is to avoid seeing this nation populated with a furtive illegal subclass of human beings who are afraid to go to the cops, afraid to go to a hospital…or afraid to go to their employer,” Simpson later wrote Reagan.”

ANY person. NOT any CITIZEN.
“If you’re ever bored, go back and read the coverage of the 1986 amnesty bill the day it passed. Everyone at the time, in both parties and the media, assured Americans that the new law would control our border. It was called the Immigration Reform and Control Act, after all. Well, the opposite happened: Huge new waves of migrants arrived immediately, many of them illegal. California was transformed virtually overnight into a Democratic state. In 1988, George H.W. Bush narrowly won California in the presidential election, but no Republican has won that state since. No Republican ever will win in California, not in our lifetimes. There are now about twice as many registered Democrats in California as there are Republicans.”
“At its core, immigration is a sign of a confident and successful nation. Immigrants’ talent and hard work and love of freedom have helped us become the leader of the world.”

—President George W. Bush
“There’s not much debate about how this happened. The counties in California with the highest percentage of Republicans are, not coincidentally, those with the lowest percentage of immigrants and vice versa. California changed because the population changed. Analysis of the 2012 presidential election, for example, showed that if you lived in the state of California in 1980, you probably still voted Republican. Your views hadn’t really changed. But as your state swelled with foreign voters, your views became irrelevant. Your political power, the power to control your own life, disappeared with the arrival of new people who diluted your vote. That was the whole point.”
In 2017, California had 21,986,000 people that were born in California. 4,184,000 born in Mexico.
“Today, 56% of Californians were born in the state. But the proportion of foreign-born residents (28%) is nearly double that of transplants from other states (16%).”

“Your political power, the power to control your own life, disappeared with the arrival of new people who diluted your vote. That was the whole point.”
“That’s not democracy, it’s cheating. Imagine watching a football game where one team decides to start the third quarter with an extra 40 players on the field. Would you consider that fair play? The Democratic Party did something very much like that in the state of California. They rigged the game with more people. They packed the electorate. As a result, Americans who grew up in California lost their most basic right in a democracy, the right to have their votes count.”
As a result, Americans who grew up in California lost their most basic right in a democracy, the right to have their votes count.”
“This was true for all native-born Americans, by the way, not just Republicans. Los Angeles now has the largest Latin American population outside of Mexico City. Whites make up fewer than 30% of the population, down from more than 90% in 1960. But a less noticed decline has occurred among African Americans. According to demographer Joel Kotkin, over the last 30 years, the proportion of Black residents in Los Angeles has dropped by half. San Francisco is now just 5% Black; in 1980, it was 13%. You’ve heard a lot lately about the necessity of Black political power. In California, that power is evaporating due to mass immigration.”
“Most African American, Latino, and Asian American likely voters are Democrats.
https://www.ppic.org/publication/race-and-voting-in-california/
An overwhelming majority of African American likely voters (73%) and a majority of Latino (58%) and Asian American (54%) likely voters are registered as Democrats; far fewer are registered as Republicans (5% African Americans, 16% Latinos, 19% Asian Americans). Party registration among white likely voters is more evenly divided, with 40% registered as Democrats, 34% as Republicans, and 21% as independents (previously called “decline to state” and now called “no party preference” voters).”
“Democratic leaders never mention this trend, but it’s obvious to the people who live there. One poll found that almost 60% of black people in California would very much like to leave. Many already have. The exodus of American-born Californians of every color began shortly after the 1986 amnesty. It has grown to a panicked rush. It can now cost you five times as much to drive a U-Haul out of California than to drive a U-Haul in. That’s supply and demand at work. Not many Americans are moving to Los Angeles.”
“Nearly 75,000 Black Californians left the state in 2018, according to a CalMatters analysis of federal estimates, compared to 48,000 Black people who moved in.”
“Yet for every Californian who abandons the state, several other people arrive from foreign countries. That’s why since 1990, the total population of California has grown by 10 million people. That’s the equivalent of an entirely new Michigan and North Carolina in just 30 years. It’s an awful lot of people in a very short period of time. Most of these new arrivals come from poor places. Their standard of living rises once they get to California. The state, however, has become much poorer. In 1986, California was the richest landmass of its size in the world. California now has more poor people than any state in the country as of this year, according to the best measurements available from the federal government. California has a higher poverty rate than Mississippi, indeed the highest in the nation.”

“How did this happen? In a healthy country, one that prized honesty and free inquiry and legitimate social science, we wouldn’t be asking that question urgently. How did a place as idyllic as California become so miserable that huge numbers of people who were born there decided to abandon their homes and flee? If you cared about the United States, you would want to know the answer and you’d want to make absolutely certain it didn’t happen anywhere else. Yet the Democratic Party is working to make certain it happens everywhere else. That’s not a slur. It’s not a guess. We know it because they brag about it constantly.”
“But lies only survive until facts emerge. And the facts don’t support the myth of a great California exodus. One magazine reported last fall that California lost more than 3 percent of its populace to other states over the last year. Not so. In fact, about 175,000 California residents moved to other states in 2020. That’s about four-tenths of one percent.”

“The left becomes unhinged if you point out that American voters are being replaced by Democratic Party loyalists from other countries. You’re absolutely not allowed to say that, but they’re allowed to say that. And they do. They say it all the time. They’ve done studies on it, written long books about it, talked about it endlessly on television, often in the ugliest racial terms. They’re not ashamed at all, they don’t think they have to be ashamed. In the fall of 2018, a columnist for The New York Times wrote a piece that was literally entitled “We Can Replace Them“.”
“In case you wondered who the “them” was, the column told you explicitly. Thanks to demographic change, the author noted with hearty approval, the state of Georgia will soon be controlled by Democrats: “The potential is there. Georgia is less than 53 [%} non-Hispanic [W]hite”. Again, that’s a New York Times columnist, not some QAnon blogger.”
“They tell you that demographic replacement is an obsession on the right. No, it’s not. They say it’s some horrifying right-wing conspiracy theory, that the right is obsessed with it. No, the left is obsessed with it. In fact, it’s the central idea of the modern Democratic Party. Demographic replacement is their obsession because it’s their path to power. In 2013, future Obama Cabinet secretary Julian Castro went on CBS to explain why Texas will soon be a Democratic state.”
“CASTRO: In a couple of presidential cycles, you’ll be — on Election Night, you’ll be announcing that we’re calling the 38 electoral votes of Texas for the Democratic nominee for president. It’s changing. It’s going to become a purple state and then a blue state because of the demographics, because of the population growth of folks from outside of Texas.“
“No one attacked Julian Castro for saying that. No one asked who these “folks from outside of Texas” might be or why they had a right to control the future of people who already lived in Texas. Nobody said a word about it. It seemed normal, it was normal, it still is normal. In Washington, what qualifies as shocking is any real attempt to protect democracy.“
What were the top five states in terms of the number of immigrants, share of immigrants in the total state population, absolute growth, and percent growth between 1990 and 2000 and between 2000 and 2013?
In 2013, the top five U.S. states by number of immigrants were California (10.3 million), New York and Texas (4.4 million each), Florida (3.8 million), and New Jersey (1.9 million).
When classified by the share of immigrants out of the total state population, the top five states in 2013 were California (27 percent), New York and New Jersey (22 percent each), and Florida and Nevada (19 percent each).
Between 1990 and 2000, the five states with the largest absolute growth of the immigrant population were California (2.4 million), Texas (1.4 million), New York (1 million), Florida (1 million), and Illinois (577,000).
Between 2000 and 2013, the five states with the largest absolute growth of the immigrant population were Texas (1.5 million), California (1.4 million), Florida (1.3 million), New York (515,000), and New Jersey (449,000).
Between 1990 and 2000, the five states with the largest percent growth* of the immigrant population were North Carolina (274 percent), Georgia (233 percent), Nevada (202 percent), Arkansas (196 percent), and Utah (171 percent).
Between 2000 and 2013, the five states with the largest percent growth* of the immigrant population were South Carolina (99 percent), Tennessee (92 percent), Kentucky (86 percent), Alabama (85 percent), and Arkansas (82 percent).
*Note: In some states, the starting population of the foreign born was quite small. Thus, relatively small absolute increases in the immigrant population in these states have translated into high percent growth.

In the summer of 2019, then-President Donald Trump promised — falsely, as it turned out — that he was going to deport huge numbers of foreign nationals living here illegally. Kamala Harris’s response to this was revealing. She could have argued, as Democrats often do, that deportation is cruel and it’s un-American. But she didn’t say that. Instead, she told the truth about it,
“”Let’s call this what it is,” Harris wrote on Twitter. “It’s an attempt to remake the demographics of our country by cracking down on immigrants. That this threat is coming from the president of the United States is deeply reprehensible and an affront to our values. We will fight this.””
“But wait a second, Trump had announced had announced he was deporting illegal aliens, who aren’t allowed to vote in our elections. They’re not even allowed to live here. How was sending them home to their own country “an attempt to remake the demographics of our country”? Illegal aliens shouldn’t even count in the demographics of our country. They’re not Americans.”
“Are unauthorized immigrants included in the resident population counts?“
“Yes, all people (citizens and noncitizens) with a usual residence in the United States are included in the resident population for the census.”
“Since the first census of the United States in 1790, counts that include both citizens and noncitizens have been used to apportion seats in the House of Representatives, with states gaining or losing based on population change over the previous decade. If unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. were removed from the 2020 census apportionment count – which the White House seeks to do – three states could each lose a seat they otherwise would have had and three others each could gain one, according to a Pew Research Center analysis based on government records.”
https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/07/24/how-removing-unauthorized-immigrants-from-census-statistics-could-affect-house-reapportionment/
“Kamala Harris’s response only makes sense if you believe that the millions of foreigners breaking our laws to live here are future Democratic voters, and that’s exactly what she does believe. It’s shocking if you think about it, and that’s why you’re not allowed to think about it. Thinking about what Kamala Harris is planning, Kamala Harris herself would like you to know, is deeply reprehensible and an affront to our values. In other words, submit to our scheme or you’re immoral.”
“If you heard prominent people talk like this in any other country, you’d be confused. A nation’s leadership class admitting they hope to replace their own citizens seems grotesque. If you believed in democracy, you would work to protect the potency of every citizen’s vote, obviously. You wonder if people even debate questions like this in countries that don’t hate themselves, like Japan or South Korea or Israel.”
“Go to the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) website sometime if you’d like a glimpse of what an unvarnished conversation about a country’s national interest might look like. In a short essay posted to the site, the ADL explains why the state of Israel should not allow more Arabs to become citizens with voting rights:”
“Some nationalist Israelis also call for a “one-state solution” whereby Israel would annex the West Bank and Gaza Strip and create one state incorporating this entire territory. Such a concept is equally unacceptable as Israel would then have to sacrifice its status as both a Jewish and democratic state. Were Israel to absorb these territories and make the residents of the West Bank and Gaza Strip full citizens of Israel, demographic realities would lead to the effective end of a Jewish State of Israel. Should Israel annex these territories yet deny the non-Jewish residents full citizenship, Israel would no longer be a democratic state. Either choice is inimical to Israel’s founding ideology.
Any just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should be based on two states, living side by side in peace and security.”

“1: being adverse often by reason of hostility or malevolence forces inimical to democracy
2a: having the disposition of an enemy : HOSTILE inimical factions
b: reflecting or indicating hostility : UNFRIENDLY his father’s inimical glare””
“”With historically high birth rates among the Palestinians and a possible influx of Palestinian refugees and their descendants now living around the world,” the ADL explains, “Jews would quickly be a minority within a bi-national state, thus likely ending any semblance of equal representation and protections. In this situation, the Jewish population would be increasingly politically — and potentially physically — vulnerable.”
“Furthermore, bi-nationalism is unworkable given current realities and historic animosities. With historically high birth rates among the Palestinians, and a possible influx of Palestinian refugees and their descendants now living around the world, Jews would quickly be a minority within a bi-national state, thus likely ending any semblance of equal representation and protections. In this situation, the Jewish population would be increasingly politically – and potentially physically – vulnerable.”

“”It is unrealistic and unacceptable,” the ADL continues, “to expect the State of Israel to voluntarily subvert its own sovereign existence and nationalist identity and become a vulnerable minority within what was once its own territory.””
“Any just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should be based on two states, living side by side in peace and security.”

“Were Israel to absorb these territories and make the residents of the West Bank and Gaza Strip full

citizens of Israel, demographic realities would lead to the effective end of a Jewish State of Israel. Should Israel annex these territories yet deny the non-Jewish residents full citizenship, Israel would no longer be a democratic state. Either choice is inimical to Israel’s founding ideology.”
“Now, from Israel’s perspective, this makes perfect sense. Why would any democratic nation make its own citizens less powerful? Isn’t that the deepest betrayal of all? In the words of the ADL, why would a government subvert its own sovereign existence? Good question. Maybe ADL President Jonathan Greenblatt will join “Tucker Carlson Tonight” some time to explain and tell us whether that same principle applies to the United States. Most Americans believe it does. Unfortunately, most Americans don’t have a say in the matter.”
“Most Americans aren’t even allowed to have the conversation. So they watch from the sidelines as their democracy is murdered by people who claim to be its defenders. “Democracy! Democracy! Democracy!” screams the Twitter mob, even as the votes of the people who were born here declined steadily in value — diluted and increasingly worthless, like the U.S. dollar. This is what it looks like when an entire native population — Black and White, but every one of them an American — is systematically disenfranchized. Middle class Americans become less powerful every year. They have less economic power, and thanks to mass immigration, they now have less political power. The leaders making these changes have no sympathy for their victims. They blame the country for its own suffering. You always hate the people you hurt.”
“Middle class Americans become less powerful every year. They have less economic power, and thanks to mass immigration, they now have less political power.”
and the latest GOP Tax Cut are to blame.
“That’s all true. Every honest person knows that it’s true. As long as we’re here, we’re going to keep saying it out loud.”
The “Replacement Theory” mantra gets people killed
The GOP has become the new Know Nothing Party
Someone else’s retort;
Nativist Bigots:
Save America = Keep It White
Words have consequences!
“Finally, Fox News also has an effect on what the mainstream news media reports, helping to spread conservative arguments far and wide. Remember the IRS “targeting” scandal of 2013? It was a routine news story until Fox News made it a cause celebre. Then it started to dominate the airwaves. More recently, critical race theory was an academic obscurity until Fox suddenly decided to give it the treatment earlier this year. Now you can hardly click your mouse without coming across yet another article or op-ed about it.”
“And it was this same conviction that led Tucker Carlson to claim, just this past April, “I have less political power because they’re importing a brand new electorate. Why should I sit back and take that?” Carlson was echoing the zero-sum logic that white reactionaries have spouted for more than a century.”
I heard “There goes the neighborhood!” growing up in Alabama in the 1960s. That is Tucker’s refrain today.
“Tucker Carlson
“Why does America benefit from having tons of people from failing countries come here?” Fox News personality Tucker Carlson asked on Twitter last year.Well, though Carlson was apparently estranged from his biological mother, sketching out her tree led to the memoirs of Carlson’s great-great grandfather Cesar Lombardi, who wrote about how the “narrowness of opportunities” in Switzerland created a “violent desire” for him to “seek my fortune in foreign parts.” He landed in New York on November 1, 1860.”
Professor Amy Wax must be a Tucker Carlson viewer,
“A petition calling on Penn to suspend law professor Amy Wax and reform the University’s tenure policy has garnered more than 800 signatures, ignited by Wax’s scrutinized claims that “the United States is better off with fewer Asians and less Asian immigration.
Wax, who joined Penn Law in 2001, said in a recent interview with Brown University professor Glenn Loury that the immigration of “Asian elites” to the United States is problematic because of their support of the Democratic Party. Nearly two weeks after the Dec. 20 interview, Penn Law School Dean Ted Ruger released a statement criticizing Wax’s comments as “thoroughly anti-intellectual and racist.””
“Every time Amy Wax proves that she’s a racist, Penn props her up. Its complicity has to stop.”
Sad:
Critical Race Theory is the latest @GOP Mantra because “Wall!” and “Repeal and Replace” and “Drain the Swamp” won’t work.
