The Real “McCarthyites” Are Today’s Tyrannical Left

“McCarthyism” became a smear to silence advocates of the idea that collectivist, Communist, statist doctrines entrenched in entertainment, media, educational and government settings would eventually come out and bite the American people. A “McCarthyite” was thought to be paranoid and irrational.

Yet as it turns out, now in late 2021, McCarthy’s greatest error turns out to have been underestimating the truth of his own assertions.
