How Are Democrats Managing to Lose on Immigration?
It's an impressive fuckup, even for us
By now, you’ve probably heard of Great Replacement Theory. It’s a very bad theory, probably about twice as dumb as my theory that Paul McCartney murdered Ani Difranco in 1993 and has been impersonating her ever since. Which makes this poll pretty troubling:
32 percent agree! So if you’re on Family Feud, and the question is “name something people import from overseas”, you should probably guess “voters” even before “cigars” or “brides for sad men”.
Before I go any further: I always take issue polls with a Gibraltar-sized grain of salt. If a pollster cold-calls someone and says “Can I waste five minutes of your time?”, the vast majority of replies will be either “go to hell” or “lick me”. Most people who stay on the line will be weirdos; the last question should probably be “Do you own some weird-ass pet, like a Gila monster or a cougar?” because I think that’s who’s providing these answers. Issue polls frequently contain strange results, like this one: Some of the people who believe the Great Replacement Theory are Democrats (22 percent of Democrats believe the poll question above, compared with 47 percent of Republicans). 11 percent of Great Replacement Theory believers get most of their news from MSNBC — who the hell are those people? Who’s sitting around thinking “Jews and immigrants are teaming up to elect a bunch of libtard soy boys — whoa, 9 o’clock, time for Maddow!”? I’m not sure, but I’ll bet they own a Gila monster.
