Is Trumpism the modern equivalent of McCarthyism?
One was scapegoating suspected Communists. The other is about “He hates who we hate”.

That’s exactly what it is. Same cast of characters basically. They hate "leftists", although they have no idea who is what, or what any of it means.
I had family members who fought against fascism, yet returned home to live under laws similar to those imposed on the people they were fighting for. And in those days, to protest against legal racial segregation was to invite the accusation of "Communist leanings".
Today being "woke" (not racist) is considered being part of Antifa. Because apparently being "against fascism" now is a bad thing.

@bijouxbroussard the “Good ole days” for some are the “Bad ole days” for others.
Here’s a side note. My father was a B24 pilot in WWII. He was protected by the Tuskegee Airman. He would talk about them with glowing praise. They saved his ass countless times. It was his first exposure to black people. And I think it influenced a lifetime of liberal thought. Even though he inexplicably liked Reagan. Lol
