McCarthy was the land stand of this country against Communism.
We lost.
They won and made it a sin to ever call into question the loyalty of someone who openly speaks of destroying the country or hating the country.
They've convinced the masses that socialists were far right because Nationalism, and that what was evil is nationalism.
Its a really shitty feeling being at the beginning of the final phases of the Communist take over.
Like being around for the Bolsheviks in early 1900s Russia.
