"This word "replace" is propagandistic nonsense. I replaced my razor: I bought a new one and threw out the old one. Now it's gone. No one is proposing getting rid of any Americans or any of their children. If it transpires that they will live alongside some number of new immigrants and their children does not result in anyone's replacement. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022532343362367972 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022532343362367972"

"In the first wave of European exploration Native Americans civilizations were destroyed by both slaughter by armies engaged in conquest and (even more consequentially) the introduction of pathogens to which they had no immunity. In later generations the U.S. government reneged on treaties and engaged in policies like Indian removal. Nothing about any of that is remotely analogous to today's Americans living alongside new immigrants with no one going to war against them or infecting them with novel pathogents or forcibly removing them from their land"

"The Republican Party under Donald Trump had no commitment to limited government or the Constitution. It is not a Reaganite coalition. The fact that so many of its partisans decline to acknowledge their abandonment of long held principles should not distract from reality. I honestly do not know what Republicans stand for if they do not support Thomas Massie. He advocates for limited government in domestic affairs like Ronald Reagan and a limited foreign policy like Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan. He's to the right of everyone in Congress.

"If the company fires a worker and uses an AI to do that job they have replaced that worker with AI. If they wait for a worker to retire than do his job with AI they have not replaced that worker with AI but they have replaced human labor with AI labor for that job. In both cases the company will have fewer human workers as a result of its actions. In contrast when the United States welcomes a new immigrant it does not have fewer native born Americans as a result. The native born Americans are not replaced in any sense.
