White Christian Nationalist Group to Hold Hatefest in Fort Worth [1]

True Texas Project — a Christo-Fascist organization with close ties to Attorney General Ken Paxton and Senator Tex Cruz — has announced that it will hold a conference next month in Fort Worth in order to exhort “True” (i.e. White) Texans to embrace Christian nationalism and resist a Democratic campaign “to rid the earth of the white race.”

Billed as the 15th anniversary celebration for True Texas Project, a far-right activist group that got its start as a North Texas tea party organization, the agenda claims there is a “war on white America,” and elevates theories that white Americans are being intentionally replaced through immigration — a common belief among far-right extremists, including many mass shooters. “It’s absolutely vital we remember that when they say ‘white supremacy’ or ‘white nationalism’ or whatever the most recent scare phrase is, they literally just mean your heritage and historical way of life,” reads the description for a session on “Multiculturalism & The War on White America.” “It’s a culture war, simple as that. Stop apologizing. Stop backing down. Start fighting back.”

A look at the conference schedule an speaker line-up confirms that the main topic for discussion will be the Great Replacement Theory — a conspiracy theory increasingly embraced by the GOP leaders, including Trump sycophants like Elise Stefanik.

The Southern Poverty Leadership Center describes the underlying white supremacist thinking here:

The “great replacement” theory is inherently white supremacist. It depends on stoking fears that a non-white population, which the theory’s proponents characterize as “inferior,” will displace a white majority. It is also antisemitic. Some proponents of the “great replacement” do not explicitly attribute the plot to Jews. Instead, they blame powerful Jewish individuals such as financier and philanthropist George Soros or use coded antisemitic language to identify shadowy “elites” or “globalists.”

Anyway, the True Texas Project conference should be a lot of fun!
