According to Wiki: McCarthyism is the practice of making false or unfounded accusations of subversion and treason, especially when related to anarchism, communism and socialism, and especially when done in a public and attention-grabbing manner.
And what is McCarthy doing, but filling committees about weaponizing government agencies? They have accused us of pulling off the j6, pretending to be them. They want to investigate vaccines.
I say, call it what it is, McCarthyism. Hang all his infidels around his neck. Make them interchangeable. They are out to make a boogeyman out of us, so lets call it like it is. Their plans are nothing short of McCarthyism. Lets spread it far and wide!!!!

(1,145 posts)More people, I feel, will immediately understand McCarthyism as a witch hunt, and it is perfect, because of his name. It is just a natural path. But if we say witch hunt, it sounds like we are just using whats his names words. If we use McCarthyism, people think innocent people done wrong. Brand them all with McCarthyism.
