There was a time when Republicans wanted to save our democracy and our way of life from the reds.

Now they are the red threat.

With the gift of hindsight, I wonder if they actually were worried about Communists during the Red Scare. Maybe it was like today, where they just used the fear of Communism to win elections.

@BohemianBabe I'll go with whipping up irrational fear of communism to win elections. Communism was never a threat in the U.S. The Communist Party USA couldn't at any time get even 1% of the vote.

@badminton And while the Soviet Union was a terrible authoritarian dictatorship, they were busy with their own cold war against China. Neither country liked America, but they weren't concerned with us at the time.

@badminton Some people need a "boogeyman".
It was the United States fear of Communism that caused them to support brutal right dictatorships in other countries.

There are Republicans (a lot less) and Trumplicans ( a lot more)
Sad to see what’s happening in the US, regressing and probably the final nail in the coffin with midterm elections unfortunately

@Strictmichael75 I'm optimistic. I don't believe women will accept having their reproductive Rights being taken away. I believe we women will rise up in great numbers. Birdie
