‘In the face of overwhelming evidence of thoroughgoing communist infiltration of academia and Hollywood, the majority of people still believe McCarthy dreamt it all up.”
McCarthy was spot-on back then. It’s just sad and a tragic symptom of America’s dysfunction that most Americans were not capable of recognizing that truth in that era... and most not even now.
The ultimate irony re: that “blacklisting” thing is... the Hollywood communists have turned it around on us and now blacklist anyone that is ‘not’ on their leftist side of the aisle. If only people could have seen the future back then.
Let’s face facts. The tactics of the Marxist left, including mocking and derision of those that have their number, seem to be working... only too well. Especially now in this time of “social media” influencing and wokeism.

Only because we (as a group) won’t recognize the New Rules, roll up our sleeves, spit on our hands, hoist the black flag, and use their rules against them.
