I wonder what it is with Republicans and Mccarthyism.

Back when McCarthy was ruling he made up a claim that thousands of communists wanted to sacrifice people's babies to Satan and stuff like that and gullible people believed him which was nuts. I mean honestly I always wonder what makes people so low IQ to believe conspiracies but I guess people really did believe that there's people who want to harm their pathetic lives even though most don't live in a worthwhile fashion enough for people to care anyways.

That's neither here nor there, Republicans been a little screwy since that time. Like it knocked a few bolts and nuts a bit loose in their head or something.

Yet they can't take even a miniscule of the same treatment given back to them. Since I've been old enough to vote, they've called democrats as communists, authoritarians, and sometimes even Nazis. And apparently that was just fine and dandy. But if someone dares label a republican a fascist or a Nazi, well that's advocating for violence now.

Could you imagine if they started getting blacklisted and harassed by law enforcement even remotely near the level of McCarthyism?

I think they were broken before that though, even. I think it started as a result of FDR's policies and popularity. McCarthy was just where they were able to land a solid scapegoat.
