When a Democrat narrowly wins a race in some sunbelt locale on the backs of immigrant voters, it's given a celebratory article on MSNBC. When a book is written on the so called Emerging Democratic Majority, its given the status of a legitimate theory for over a decade. But when Republicans highlight the same story but with a negative spin, it's called a fringe conspiracy theory, "vile" and "racist". The hypocrisy is so shameless it almost defies belief. Either there is a real disconnect and gaping but genuine lack of self awareness on the center left there, or it is some kind of dishonesty.
The real reason Republicans don't have to worry about this is that Hispanic birth rates have collapsed. The right has turned its attention to a trend ironically at the very moment when it has exhausted itself.
I mean yea, the ultimate source of the "Great Replacement Theory" is a response to the the crowing of the left.
I recall in 2010 era, there was a situation highlighted on conservative talk radio, where a bunch of activists took the "ascendant majority line" and shouted down a tea party protest with basically "Once the demographics catch up to you, its over".
You used to see this gleefully championed on this site and it probably still happens.
So yea, I can totally see that angle.

I think the ongoing "replacement" is overwhelmingly the result of economic and geopolitical causes, but I'm not going to pretend there are no politicians out there who would like to change the composition of the electorate in their favor by bringing in people who are certain to vote for them in overwhelming numbers.
