Oh, Steve King, Don’t Talk About Cultural Suicide Unless You’re Ready To Do It
Iowa Republican congressvarmint Steve King went to Austria for some damn reason and did an interview with a far right nutwing magazine that is the equivalent to Breitbart.
He talked about something I’ve never heard of before. The Great Replacement. It’s a theory that white culture is having abortions, not babies, but that other cultures are bringing their babies to American and western Europe in order to overrun the place with people who ain’t white. Oh yeah, and George Soros is funding it. I don’t know what Nancy Pelosi has to do with it but it’s gotta be something.
King’s conversation with Sommerfeld largely revolves around the paranoid idea of the Great Replacement — the belief that mass migration, particularly from Muslim-majority countries, is an extinction-level event for white European culture and identity. Or as he put it in the interview, a “slow-motion cultural suicide.”
Now King wouldn’t say that in this country because he doesn’t have a lick of courage. He has to run over to the pot smoking Austrians. Hey, I don’t want to bring up the past, but the Austrians let Hitler annex them because they were intimidated when Hilter screamed at their Chancellor, sounding a whole lot like Lindsay Graham at the Kavanaugh hearing. They got all scared at that mean voice and said, “Here, take our country, anything.” Hey, I’m no dummy – I saw Sound of Music.
Good Lord, he’s Alex Jones with a job. And you pay him.
Thanks to Stacey for the heads up.
If we could find a congressional successor for super white guy Steve King, that’s what I’d call a Great Replacement.
1Rick, your request may have been granted. Iowa. Imagine that. The Democrats are actually challenging Steve “Cantaloupe” King. Democratic candidate J.D. Scholten could win the race. Blue shades of Gov/Dr. Howard Dean’s 50 state strategy is returning.
Here in NV some of us did the early vote yesterday. Long lines in our tiny precinct. Very encouraging numbers. However, there are still too many Rs on the ballot with no challengers. We can do better. Mix it up with Gov. Dean’s 50 state strategy and President Obama’s ground game with some fact talking candidates who reflect their districts.
Democrats are competitive. When they compete…
2For gosh sakes, why didn’t he just stay there! From the reception he received its obvious that he has found his “people”. Sudden but discreet lightening strike. Wow! The Austrian version of himself is not looking for competition! Hey, granny does have her moments!
3Actually in Vienna they weren’t all that enthusiastic about the Nazis. It was an assassination and a coup that got Hitler to march in. Heard all about from my mother, who lived in Vienna at the time and afterwards.
4Steve King is in an exclusively older, white rural district in NE Iowa. Devon Nunes’ family farm is located in King’s district. Many of his idiot supporters use undocumented labor on their farms and still vote for him. The best news about his district is that older white voters are dying off and will soon be irrelevant.
5If Soros funded everything the Republicans say he does, he’d be in more debt than a Trump business.
6King and his service during the Vietnam War!
Trump had bone spurs and King had (still has) a feces-colored backbone made out of jello!

7Soros pays white women to abort and non-white women to have extra babies. I’ve seen the cancelled checks!
Mike is right that Vienna, with its large Jewish population, didn’t welcome the Nazis, but the countryside was crazy about its returning native son Hitler. After the war, Austria pretended it was a victim like Czechoslovakia and (clearly) has yet to deal with its past in the same way Germany had to. (See Waldheim, Kurt.)
8There is a program about the American Eugenics Movement, from the 1910’s and 1920’s, now running on your PBS channels that explains a lot of what the Rethugs today are up to and what they believe (in their evil widdle ‘hearts’).
It resonates in dozens of ways with what we are hearing every day from the RWNJ’s; and especially, Mr. Trump, whose (IIRC) father and grandfather were active in this eugenics movement.
I strongly urge y’all to look up the schedules of your local PBS stations (on all the subchannels) and find a timeslot that you can watch. It is a 2 hour program, but you will not get bored.
It might sound dry and historical, but you will see so many parallels with today, this year, this election.
Here’s a PBS link to it:

(PS: I’m going to repeat this comment on some other threads, this one ties in closely, but it’s about to slide into Salon oblivion)
9PS:
The German annexation of Austria (and Czechoslovakia) was called the “Anschluss Österreichs”, and it had mixed support in Austria and Czechoslovakia.
There were large numbers (millions) of ethnic Germans living in both Austria and Czechoslovakia, most were eager to rejoin Germany any way possible.
The Nazis wanted and needed the resources of those nations for their future war machine.
Hitler, Göring, and Goebbels did their usual things,
and soon both Austria and Czechoslovakia were under absolute German control.

10Tis the season for paranoia. In the hope that it might generate votes.
11EXCEPT.
SnacilbupeR tend not to watch Austrian News.
So what the hell was King’s point, anyway? Paranoia for paranoia’s sake? Does he really believe what he’s saying? If so, let him stay in Austria and warn THEM.
@ Sandridge:
I saw that program. It was fascinating – if terrifying. I was somewhat surprised that it lost all momentum here prior to its rise in Germany. Its rise there, though, made certain-sure it wouldn’t get started here again, thank goodness.
Trump is trying, though. He wants to force transgenders to get DNA tests so the state can force them to identify as the gender they were assigned at birth.
There’s a petition being sent to the commercial DNA testing companies and the medical labs he’s planning to use to translate the results. Please sign it.
