On 1/12/2021, Greg Kelly on Newsmax TV also likened the current witch hunt against President Trump and his supporters to the infamous McCarty era (see here). He must have read my blog post? ;-)

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" (Source) George Santayana. Does anybody remember e.g. the House Un-American Activities Committee. The infamous McCarthy era lasted from about 1947 to 1955.
"McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason, especially when related to communism, without any proper regard for evidence. ..." (Source)
I would argue we are living in times that are eerily similar to McCarthyism when it comes to the incessant coup attempts and social/news media distortions against President Trump! The many vicious attacks against President Trump since he announced his candidacy for president are almost unprecedented! They say politics is a combat sport, but this was more like an all out war by all and any means necessary against a President of the United States. The gloves came off very quickly! No Marquess of Queensberry Rules whatsoever were observed by the opponents of President Trump!
