A Republican lawmaker in Michigan lost his committee assignment and staff Monday, days after posting an image of a racist ideology on social media.

House Speaker Joe Tate, a Democrat who is Black, said he will not allow the House to be a forum for “racist, hateful and bigoted speech.”

State Rep. Josh Schriver, who is white, shared a post on X — formerly known as Twitter — that showed a map of the world with Black figures greatly outnumbering white figures, along with the phrase, “The great replacement!”

The conspiracy theory says there’s a plot to diminish the influence of white people.

    I don’t know why you’d think Japan is “weirdly conservative,” their leadership was left intact after WW2 despite commiting just as many crimes against humanity as the Nazis and America put fucking MacArthur in charge of the reconstruction.

    If anything, Japan is weirdly liberal considering everything.
