" Great Replacement " conspiracy theory has inspired violence in the past and could do so again in the future.

The Great Replacement theory posits that elites are deliberately replacing white Americans with immigrants.

An antisemitic version accuses Jews and Jewish organizations of engineering the surge of asylum seekers.

Another version asserts that Democrats are intentionally bringing in immigrants to dilute the strength of Republican voters.
