Yep. It’s called “replacement theory” and it’s a core belief among racist organizations like Nazis, the Aryan nation and the KKK. It’s also talked about constantly on Fox News and other right wing media.
Oh for sure, but the problem is they’re preaching is subtly and if you were’t already on alert that it’s bullshit, it can end up normalizing for some people since it’s not usually framed as “white vs black/brown” but as “ Americans vs enemies”, which sounds a lot less racially charged to mega normies who pay more attention to football and soap operas than they do to politics.
