    From the linked article:

    A recent study published in Preventive Medicine Reports sheds light on how certain beliefs and societal perceptions can influence support for political violence among white Americans. The research identifies a connection between “replacement thinking”—the belief that immigrants are displacing native-born white Americans—markers of social status threat, and endorsement of political violence. The findings suggest that these beliefs may increase the likelihood of individuals justifying violent actions to protect perceived social and cultural dominance.

    The analysis revealed significant relationships between replacement thinking, status threat, and support for political violence. Strong agreement with replacement thinking was associated with more than double the likelihood of endorsing political violence compared to those who did not hold this belief. This link persisted even when researchers adjusted for demographic factors, underscoring the powerful role of replacement thinking in shaping attitudes toward violence.

    You pretty much have to be an ethnonationalist to believe in replacement theory.

    It’s distressing where these people’s priorities lie. I’m not concerned with the amount of melanin in my future grandchildren, I’m concerned with their safety.
