Ann Coulter: the Democrat Origins of "Great Replacement Theory"

link.
   I'm not wild about either of these rhetorical strategies: "groomers," "great replacement."
However, rhetoric isn't my thing.
   Some points:
[1] Progressivism is actually so radical that it has moved closer and closer to each of the endpoints identified by those terms. That is: neither is exactly wrong anymore.
[2] The radical left never stops moving left unless forced to do so. (And even then it won't stop for long--it's merely pause or retrenchment.)
[3] There's at least as much truth in those two accusations as there is in the left's ceaseless accusations of racism, sexism and *phobia. I'm inclined to say there's more truth in them...but I'm pretty mad about it all, so I'm skeptical of that inclination. At worst it's a matter of giving the left a dose of its own medicine. 
(Though, given how crazy the medicine is, that's worrisome.)
   At any rate, here's Tim Wise, "antiracist essayist, author and educator" (note: "educator" = propagandist in Newnewspeak):
This week, the media’s leading expert on the crazies who believe in replacement theory is Tim Wise, popping up on both MSNBC and CNN to psychoanalyze the white “racists.” He’s been quoted, cited or praised dozens of times in The New York Times. This isn’t some fringe character, despite appearances.
In 2010, Wise wrote an “Open Letter to the White Right” that began:
“For all y’all rich folks, enjoy that champagne, or whatever fancy ass Scotch you drink.
“And for y’all a bit lower on the economic scale, enjoy your Pabst Blue Ribbon, or whatever shitty ass beer you favor …
“Because your time is limited.
“Real damned limited.”
Guess why! Wise explained:
“It is math.”
...
“Because you’re on the endangered list.
“And unlike, say, the bald eagle or some exotic species of muskrat, you are not worth saving.
“In 40 years or so, maybe fewer, there won’t be any more white people around who actually remember that Leave It to Beaver …”
...
“It’s OK. Because in about 40 years, half the country will be black or brown. And there is nothing you can do about it.
“Nothing, Senor Tancredo.”
...
“We just have to be patient.
“And wait for you to pass into that good night, first politically, and then, well …
“Do you hear it?
“The sound of your empire dying? Your nation, as you knew it, ending, permanently?
“Because I do, and the sound of its demise is beautiful.”
If this isn't a paean to demographic replacement, what is it? 
   As James Lindsay has said (roughly): a conspiracy theory is leftist policy stated without leftist spin.
   I'm not wild about counterproductivity arguments, but I'll indulge in one here, obliquely: here's a way to fight the crazy right: stop making their crazy theories plausible. Another way is: stop making it virtually impossible for sane people to discuss the fact that you're making such crazy theories plausible.
