    It’ll be like McCarthyism, it will be allowed to go way way too far, then in an instant it’ll be stopped, shunned and everyone will be repulsed by it. It‘s well on its way to the same fate.

      We never undid the damage of McCarthyism and he didn’t have the military terrorizing civilians and Gestapo kidnapping people

        Oh I’m not claiming it’s no big deal or that either this situation or McCarthyism aren’t terrible, and this is absolutely a worse situation. Right now a lot of people supporting all of this are in denial of how bad it is.
