Anyone notice my cool chain? Anyway, here's a post about the great replacement theory.

It's been decades since I heard the Cliff Richard song 'Living Doll'. I never registered this chorus at the time:
"Take a look at her hair, it's real
And if you don't believe what I say, just feel
I'm gonna lock her up in a trunk
So no big hunk
Can steal her away from me."
At some point in recent history, that sentiment must have sounded normal.

Every single person at the Capitol today was there in order to engage in domestic terrorism and an attempted white supremacist insurrectionist coup.
Every single person on the Capitol grounds is a white supremacist terrorist. Every single one.
And let us all be abundantly clear, if these people were not white, they would be dead.”
We ignore the white supremacy of the thing at our peril.

when I worked on a mobile crisis intervention team in the 70s, I used to take folks like this to the ER for psychiatric evaluation… to the Emergency Room, not to the White House.
if this messianic self-image does not put off actual Christians, then I do not know what will… to say “G*d speaks to me” is one thing, to say “I am the New Messiah sent by G*d” is quite another.
