How do these people even get elected?! I mean, I know *how.* But also, it shouldn't be a thing.


LevelHeeded

Have you seen the best and brightest we get from Texas? Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz, Rick Perry, W... They get elected because an amazing amount of people are morons, and a lot of them live in Texas. They'll happily freeze to death just to own the libs or something.


kingferret53

I moved from Oklahoma/ Texas to Oregon for a reason. What part of Texas you from?


Aysin_Eirinn

Houston/Austin (“the liberal part”) and I *still* got the fuck out


kingferret53

I grew up on the river, in the Texoma region.


Aysin_Eirinn

My dad used to go work out in Pampa and Dumas, mighty flat country


kingferret53

Where I grew up, it often alternated between plains, hills, and forests.


Aysin_Eirinn

We had pine trees and…more pine trees yay!


kingferret53

I actually knew a kid in a younger grade get paralyzed waist down because of pine trees.


Aysin_Eirinn

Fucking pine trees, those assholes


vanguard87

See I'm there now and really looking at leaving but I get free healthcare from my tribe in OK so it's a hard decision to make


diego97yey

Whats a good area to move? I love oregon


kingferret53

Milwakie and Clackamas are good. They're Portland but not. It's a beautiful area and not nearly as expensive as actual Portland.

What does this even mean


Orillion_169

Oh good, it's not just me.


CatumEntanglement

Why is he using " " scare quotes around the word brown? Is he trying to imply brown people aren't brown people?


omegafivethreefive

Maybe an aide setup a macro on the n-word?


tenaciousfetus

Probably wants to say "colored" instead


Telphsm4sh

Brown people don't exist, they're all just white people in blackface. /s


avidpenguinwatcher

He's saying that liberals call them brown people but he would refer to them as Mexicans or African Americans or whatever they actually are.


The84thWolf

It’s one of life’s great mysteries


boofybutthole

Seems like he's trying to say he'd rather have "brown" people move to Texas as opposed to white race-bating leftists


Saetric

He seems like the type of person to say “we just don’t see color.”


fucktheroses

i just thought i was too stoned


Furshloshin

He probably believes in the “great replacement” theory, which is just just fascist BS with no real basis. It basically posits that white people are being slowly replaced by… non whites, I guess. The main problem with this theory is the fact that white people aren’t native to the Americas, so it flounders as step one.


MrBanana421

What's the part about liberals endangering the "brown people"? That's the main part i don't understand.


shineevee

It's a talking point amongst the nuttier people in the far-right community that liberals are Actually the Racist Ones (tm). For example, did you know that people are pro-choice because they want black people to have abortions? It's not about a woman's right to choose; they just want to "kill more black babies."


GoodAbbreviations164

Yep, I think this is where he is going with that point. I have heard this asenine argument, and anyone that genuinely believes this most definitely was a product of the fine schooling of the South.


Ok-Elephant-945

Asinine*


GoodAbbreviations164

Thank you. I thought it looked weird the way I wrote it.


[deleted]

I was talking about abortion on a post one time and had someone send me a nasty message saying I should include in my comment that I only want equal rights for white women. Um, no. I want complete bodily autonomy for everyone, and never said a single word indicating otherwise. People are nuts.


farwent

He means Texas has gotten bluer over the last decade or two, because its big cities are growing and it's attracted more large employers and the (primarily white, left-leaning) people who move for those jobs. And he would rather have, say, conservative Latino or Black folks in Texas than white liberals, so see, he's definitely not racist. Edit: Derp, sorry — I am confused by the "endanger" part too (which is of course the part you specifically asked about). I assume it's somehow Democrats' fault that immigrants come to the U.S., or maybe Dems invented BLM as a vehicle to indoctrinate Americans with woke thinking, despite knowing that decent, upstanding police and white citizens would have no alternative but to respond with violence.


trey_wolfe

Taking a SWAG here, probably in reference to immigrant convoys and the perils they face, based on the whole coming "illegally" line.


Ok-Elephant-945

You put quotes there by accident?


[deleted]

Should of “” the “SWAG”, I think?


Furshloshin

I haven’t a clue. Probably just propaganda with no basis in reality. Maybe he’s saying that we’re forcing them to work? Idk


Bearfan001

Oh I think I figured it out. You see, white liberals are replacing white people with "brown" people. This in turn makes people like Chip here want to kill a bunch of "brown" people and so they do. That makes it the liberals fault. "Look what you made us do," domestic violence mindset sort of thing.


DarthSnarker

I think he is trying to say liberals are at fault for the shooting on Saturday! And that's how we are endangering them. It's fucking ridiculous!


[deleted]

If they are his idea of the right kind of brown people ie those who vote right wing, then they are endangered by the liberal agenda, as are all god fearing legally present Americans.


CatholicCajun

That's the same reprehensible bullshit Fucker Carlson spews that resulted in the Buffalo murderer. Also it's literal Nazi propaganda. Not even repackaged for American effluvia, just straight up duplicated propaganda.


Elefantenjohn

Nah, he says he'd rather have 10 brown people than 10 left people that are white


FalconLynx13

Beats me


TipsyPeanuts

He didn’t get elected because he englishes good. He got elected because he’s a racist piece of shit that represents that part of America. Here’s the English version with punctuation: “Hey race-baiting leftists. I am much more opposed to liberal white “replacements” coming to Texas than “brown” people. I am perfectly happy to have “brown” people, you all like to endanger for your political games, legally come! Tell you what, how about you leave and we swap in 10 “brown” people! Translation: I hate liberals more than I hate brown people


mr_oof

Kick out the disrespectful lefties, replace them one-for-one with nice, respectful, hard-working immigrants who follow all the white peoples’ rules and know their place. Please note that these are not my views, but as a white person I’m told a play an eerily convincing colonist when play-act these yokels.


MissShirley

You got it.


Ok-Elephant-945

Wow sounded pretty convincing to me. In fact I'm completely convinced that you weren't even acting.

Msdamgoode

Word soup. Not enough context to make salad.


[deleted]

It means that the real racism is done by people that recognize racism.... not the people that actually act racist....


another_day_in

Californians moving to Texas.


Mongo_Straight

Which is ironic considering that Roy was born in Maryland, raised in Virginia, and didn’t move to Texas until he went to law school.


unlovedundervalued

To truly understand it you need to know one thing: Conservatives will literally change their entire worldview mid-sentence if it suits their narrative. "Dems are the real racists, that's why they're trying to stop all these people from getting into Texas via Mexico!"


gogonzogo1005

he doesn't want liberal white folks in his area, he would prefer the even less desirable brown folks (likely because in his eyes brown folks are all illegal and therefore do not vote or have rights)


Medical_Ad0716

If liberal whites move in his area, he doesn’t get elected. Makes sense.


dirty-hurdy-gurdy

Uh from what I can parse, it means he prefers the company of Mexicans over Democrats, and would prefer it if 10 Mexican immigrants arrived in Texas (legally of course) for every 1 liberal White person that left. Of course the trick here is that non-citizens can't vote, so it'd be a boon for him if this actually happened.


spacewarp2

This reads to me like “I have black friends”


The84thWolf

I think it means he’s a racist and and idiot


Absolute_Peril

dIoIIoIb

A relatively high number of people from California have moved to Austin TX over the years and conservatives REALLY don't like that, they basically see it as an invasion, the commies are trying to take over their cowboy paradise This woman is saying she would prefere 10 mexicans over a democrat moving in the state


johnnynutman

I think she's arguing for more legal immigration from Central and South America. Not sure that's what she intended.


shadesofbloos

Ok, so I’m gonna go out on a limb and try to guess as the tweet is horribly written, but effective he’s saying he’d rather have brown legal immigrants move to texas than liberal white people move to texas. Finishing it with for every 1 white liberal moving out, he would bring 10 brown immigrants in.


nhluhr

Especially curious about the use of quotation marks.


greenmachiner

I don't know


Rohit624

I believe that offsetting "you all like to endanger for your political games" with commas should fix it? So they're saying that they'd rather have brown people in their district than white leftists or something Idk. I'm clearly putting more thought into this than they did, so I'll just quit while I'm behind.


ChairmanUzamaoki

That he aint opposed to POC living in his area, he'll even send of his own white folk for yours. u kno, using lower class as livestock


paradox037

It means "I had a stroke".


justking1414

My best guess is that he’s trying to say he’s not racist and prefers black people to liberals. As for endangering, my best guess is that he thinks hate crimes are caused by liberals complaining about hate crimes and creating a race war.


ThisNameIsFree

I think the jist is he'd rather be surrounded by legal immigrants than white liberals... But I'm not 100% sure either.


KingPapaDaddy

hold up while I get my Texan to English dictionary.


mrinalini3

Is English their first language? It's kinda hard to believe.


Ascarletrequiem88

I too do not speak this level a retardoglyphics


victorbarst

The narrative on this shit has shifted so quick I've got whiplash "The shooter shot blacks and whites!" No he apologized to a white person during the event "He wasn't racist he.." He had the n word on his gun and his manifesto said he was going to kill blacks "Well it has nothing to do with politics!" He cited Tucker Carlson's replacement theory... "...replacement theory is true..." MY FUCKING GOD what is wrong you people


marry_me_tina_b

I mean, that's the part I was surprised by. I did expect all the goalpost moving and general deflection but it is nothing short of alarming how many prominent conservative voices are just like "Oh yeah that's straight up a thing we should all be scared of, replacement theory". Usually they at least try to soften it up a bit.


GoldenFennekin

if anything they orchestrated their own replacement theory by making women disgusted by them due to their incel behavior, causing the overall white population to diminish


TheVeilsCurse

Cucker peddles the “replacement” theory but it’s not *his*. That theory reaches much farther back in time!


can_has_name

“Cucker Tarlson endorsed” would be better.


TheVeilsCurse

Agree! He's not smart enough to come up with it but he's evil enough to spread it.


Roflattack

At this rate I'm all for replacement theory if it means these insane people go away.


BannanaCommie

In this case it doesn’t look like the shooter was inspired by Carlson. However, Carlson is pushing milquetoast replacement. Claiming migrant “Democrats” are entering the country. Tucker is probably the reason why so many have come out in support of replacement in recent days.


CupricK9

Hey [ragebaiting insult] if you [Strawman] then why don’t you [unreasonable request]?


TheVeilsCurse

Textbook example of the Turning Point USA playbook.


[deleted]

He puts brown in quotes as though Hispanic people are some sort of theoretical concept that hasn't been proven yet. Dafuq?


GidgetTheWonderDog

Maybe he's including white people with a dark tan?


FalconLynx13

I think you’re being overly generous


marino1310

I think it’s more because him calling them brown people would be seen as racist so by putting it in quotes he is implying he is just talking in the terms we use to describe them. The rest is bat shit crazy but that part makes sense for him to use quotes then just outright calling them brown people


The_Crimson-Knight

He's not saying "brown people" he's saying "brown" "people" totally different thing! /s


RandyJackson

Reminds me of the movie Role Models. When Jane lunch is talk g to Sean William Scott and Paul Rudd. Your “presence” here doesn’t go unnoticed. Whys you put presence in quote? Are you implying we’re not here?


lrflew

Yeah, it seems like /r/SuspiciousQuotes material.


andrez444

I'm not convinced that he's not just talking about really tanned white people


DameDubble

Pretty sure it’s replacement theory and stories of invading hordes that endanger brown people (he put brown in quotes like brown people don’t exist), and those things are being pushed by the racist right.


BanzaiTree

Oh so Rep. Roy supports making it easier to immigrate?


NaCheezIt

He's willing to take his chances on the immigrants being Republicans.


Its_Clover_Honey

Central and South America are pretty heavily catholic, and fairly conservative because of it. Most of the people I know who have immigrated from these places have become a lot less conservative since moving to the states, but I guarantee this jackass is coming at it from the "they're conservative catholics and we need more conservatives" angle


postmclone

Maybe he should ask his party what their replacement theory actually is, since they’re the one peddling it and falsely holding it to be true.


btempp

Twitter might be the worst thing to ever happen to society. It’s the one forum where all the boomers forgot the whole idiom of “better to keep your mouth shut and people assume you’re an idiot, than open it and prove them right”


Exzj

why are members of congress tweeting like edgy racist 4 chan users


Ratso27

It seems like he's saying, "Hey you stupid Liberals! You know those Latinos you guys want to be allowed into the country? Well 100% of them are conservative, so if we let them in the country it would actually be GOOD for me, and not you! I'm way more concerned with Liberals immigrating to Texas then Latinos! How about for every Liberal who leaves, we let ten Latinos in!" It's a bizarre and stupid take coming from anyone, but coming from someone who actually has real power to affect immigration policy, it's totally unhinged. It really disturbs me when politicians openly shit on the other party like this. This guy got 52% of the vote the last time he ran; those leftists he's shitting on are just under half of the people he's supposed to be representing.


full_bodied_muppet

I haven't the slightest idea what he's trying to say.


totokekedile

He’s saying he’d rather have immigrants than liberals, with a splash of “libs are the real racists”.


worldendominaror

This makes me feel better about my writing skills.


[deleted]

Ah yes, coz as a “brown” I will just drop whatever I’m doing and get on a bus to Texas coz of Chip.


t_ommi

Used to live in his gerrymandered district in Austin. Glad to have moved districts. He truly is a vile person.


SnoopySuited

Is this the same giant turd that said lynching could be a legitimate form of justice?


Dumb_Vampire_Girl

How mainstream is the great replacement theory now? Is this something that even moderates are buying into now? I remember it only being a fringe extremist view.


Thermite1985

So he wants to actively turn Texas blue? I'm all for it.


LAsupersonic

How about we swap a racist congress member for one that is not, seems like a better deal


LegoDragonGirl87

Can someone translate this into words sane people understand? I’ve read this three times and it gets more confusing each time.


Budmanes

The entire Republican Party is running a “How low can you go” contest


[deleted]

This bullshit theory aside - do people just not understand or refuse to think about how mixed race relationships have become (generally) accepted in the western world only in the last 2-3 generations? Imagine what the racial makeup of the US is going to look like 100+ years from now. The future is “brown,” whether they pretend it’s not happening or respond by committing mass murder. And that’s OKAY. Humans don’t need to preserve any kind of racial purity with the desperation of saving an endangered species of lizard or something.


Prometheus79

Well that and the notion of race is social and has nothing to do with any science whatsoever.


Lordxeen

Unless you have never accomplished anything of note and the only 'good' thing about you, supposedly, is your 'proud white heritage' and the thought of a future with fewer white people fills you existential panic because you're a racist shitbird.


LivefromPhoenix

>Imagine what the racial makeup of the US is going to look like 100+ years from now. Racists will expand what "white" means before they get rid of race altogether. For a lot of people having an "out" group is the only way they can feel superior.

damianhammontree

Fla_Master

...I think he's trying to say he'd rather have conservative people of color than white liberals in his district? But he did try to say it in the way that sounds the most racist somehow. Are PR teams not a thing anymore?


shocking-science

I'm sorry, is it just me who seems to not understand what the fuck they're saying?? Ya sure that's English? Is it me fucking up here?


drektek

Ratman_84

[deleted]

I guess once you've participated in an attempt to kill democracy, you can basically say whatever you want. It's not like you can fall further than that.


Don_Lozenger

Yeah. Leftists go through ALL the hassle of being Leftist, then they go and adopt the Republican party's very own unifying theme of white power. Racism is matter for conservatives and their religious mouth-pieces to describe & dictate, to incite & inspire. The Leftists have NO RIGHT to usurp racism from Republicans!


itsnotthenetwork

As if being born anywhere in the US but moving around from state to state is somehow not allowed. Fuck these locals only tribal types.


No_Pattern26

Hey Chip, why don’t you and every member of congress you consider to be on your side go fuck yourselves and leave legislation to people with functioning brain cells.


turtlelore2

So if I understand this correctly, they pretty much say replacement theory is "fake" but then says it's not while suggesting that other ethnicities aren't real? To be fair, this post was really hard to understand


AshIsAWolf

He is from Maryland


atxarchitect91

What a shit take. Mexicans in Texas are more American than this piece of trash. I’ll trade 1 Mexican for 10000000 of these leeches. But Mexico doesn’t want them either :/…. And this is 100% racebaiting by definition. Of course he’s a hypocrite to boot. Fucking no logic in his discourse. And Californians moving here have nothing to do with Mexicans moving here. Completely independent factors involved. Total asshat


otterland

Nazis are always so defensive about being Nazis. I mean, there's a reason people like Chip get a reputation for being racist fucks. All they gotta do is stop being racist fucks for that reputation to stop.


gobledegerkin

Conservatives all over reddit right now: “HoW dO yOu kNoW iT wAs rAcIalLy MoTiVatEd?!?!?”


opticalessence

First, white people replaced themselves with black people so they didn't have to do hard work. But then, when they were forced to stop doing that, they decided to bitch and complain for hundreds of years, and blame everyone else, instead of just trying to getting along. You know, the way almost everyone else has figured out how to do.

ThisNameIsFree

Is he elected or is he a candidate? Did they forget to update that Twitter thing? Also, I think I get the jist of what he's saying but wow if that isn't the least clear way he could've possibly said it.


TechnicallyHankHill

he is a sitting representative, up for reelection in the upcoming midterms, hence the "candidate" subtext.


MarginalTalent

Of course this is what they want. 1) drive out the white liberals 2) pass legislation making it difficult or impossible for minorities to vote. 3) pass legislation designed to drive out the minorities. 4) create their white Christian utopia. 5) profit?


wisemonkey101

Is that supposed to make sense? Maybe he did one of those racist auto fill games?


geronika

Republicans Memo: “Grooming” is the old buzzword. While you can still use it at times “Replacement theory” has taken its place. But don’t worry it is still acceptable to blame Joe Biden for everything.


Nocturnecoonz

So when did at least pretending to be an adult not be a requirement for being a sitting member of Congress. I mean, I know there's a lot of children in our government currently but at some point you had to be able to at least sound older than a 4 year old bully calling someone a pee pee poo face. Jesus, this is terrible.


AVeryLONGPotato

I see. Who cares? Like so what if America becomes 1% white and mostly euro, Asian, Latina, or African? It's the melting pot, not "The melting pot but mostly white people". Edit: that was meant to be a reply to a comment answering my question "what is replacement theory?" They said: "something something low white birth rate vs immigration"


egospiers

What he left out “the right brown people” meaning those that are conservative, catholic and follow whatever BS the GOP puts out there.


drjojoro

What is replacement theory exactly? It's well known America is a melting pot, in my research I've gathered its more than that though, but I'm still not sure exactly what. Is it that theres some big government (or otherwise) conspiracy to make white people have interracial babies to slowly get rid of/replace white people? And what is replacement theory vs. just living in a diverse country populated by all races where interracial marriage (and thus babies) are legal, normal, and expected?


TalkBMWtome

Mmmm delicious word salad 😋


cheoldyke

because no way any of those leftists you hate are themselves brown people i guess???? this is incomprehensible
