Khrushchev was right as it turns out. Yuri Bezmanov tried to warn us as did McCarthy, Reagan and Thatcher.
Even Thomas E. Dewey warned about communist encroachment in the Democratic Party in the 1944 race, constantly attacking key FDR organizer Congress of Industrial Organization head Sidney Hillman and Hillman’s ties to Earl Browder of CPUSA. The American people have been conditioned to “turn off” warnings about communism. I don’t think they will ever “get it.”
