“Great replacement politicians teach privileged groups to covet policies and practices that provide them with a generally better quality of life over disadvantaged groups, rather than coveting the shared power of antiracist democracy to provide themselves with the best quality of life together in solidarity with previously disadvantaged groups. For instance, lower-and middle-income White Americans are taught to covet the privilege of struggling less than their peers of color, rather than harnessing democratic power to eliminate financial struggle for all Americans. To defend their privilege of struggling less than people of color do, White Americans must defend racism. To defend racism is to defend racist power. To defend racist power is to increasingly defend dictatorial power. To defend dictatorial power is to defend their own domination.”
