After years of denying trying to replace white people, the soon-to-be-not-White House will drop the pretense today and announce new measures to hasten what the MAGA right refers to as the Great Replacement.
Pres. Joe Biden will announce sweeping immigration changes to end the fear of deportation for about half a million people here, and create pathways to citizenship so that immigrants can replace the suicidal white folk who have enacted decades of policies apparently intended at eliminating themselves, leaving Democrats no choice but to replace them.
Biden is expected (by me, facetiously) to explain that the Great Replacement has been made necessary due to a number of factors impairing the ability of Americans to replace themselves.
For decades, right-wing policies have made it more difficult to start a family, so fewer people have been doing it. Union-busting has depressed both wages and the people who like unions. Deregulation frees rich people to take money from non-rich people and to poison the environment in which kids are supposed to breathe, all of which make it tougher to make families.
And where economic policies aren’t sufficient to discourage American reproduction, right-wing policies have stepped up by killing people off literally. Starvation, malnutrition, denial of medical care, poor education, science denial, vaccine rejection, and guns have all contributed to a population gap and stalled life-expectancy.
