    But he prefaced this with some real nationalist, replacement theory bullshit.

    2:39:43 And I think there’s there’s a balance to be achieved. I just don’t know how it gets done because I I see both perspectives. I see the perspective of the people that say, "Hey, there was an illegal program moving people in here to get votes, moving people in here to get congressional seats, and we’ve got to change that. We’ve got to take those people that got in and send them back to where they came from or do something because if we don’t, they’re going to keep doing it if they get in office again in 2028 and it’s going to accelerate. and you’re you’re you’re going to have to take away some of the damage that’s been done to a true democratic system because you’ve kind of hijacked it and they kind of have. And then I can also see the point of view of the people that say, “Yeah, but you don’t want militarized people in the streets just roaming around snatching people up, many of which turn out to actually be US citizens that just don’t have their papers on them. Are we really going to be the the Gestapo? Where’s your papers? Is that what we’ve come to?” So, it’s it’s more complicated than I think people want to admit. You know, people want to look at this as a black and white issue. You know, if you’re a compassionate person or if you’re a pragmatic person and I don’t think that’s true. I think it’s both.

      So does the modern incarnation of the “great replacement theory” include dastardly Democrats “moving people” like Somali refugees into a relatively concentrated area (like one city or county or region), waiting for them to become citizens (multi year process if ever), and then leveraging that to take power through elections?

      I mean I think the explanation that makes more sense is grouping traumatized people with a shared heritage together probably makes them feel safer and accelerates true assimilation (bi directional to include America changing a bit). Coupled with this that become citizens through our legal naturalization process are… American citizens. But what do I know I’m probably not taking enough HGH and testosterone and ketamine

      Where’s the evidence for this illegal program moving people to get votes?

      I know Fox News parrots this shit but is there any evidence for that?
