“What separated the Sanders and Trump voters? Great replacement theory. Studies have shown that financial struggles due to economic crises do not automatically bring White voters—or men, or Christians—to great replacement politicians like Trump. What brings these voters to great replacement politicians in times of economic crises seems to be their hardening belief that their groups are under attack by ruling elites who are purportedly enabling peoples of color, women, and Muslims to replace them.”
