The new red scare lacks the bite of all the others.


At least in the 1950s there was the whole Soviet/Red China thing going on and that was real enough. In the 1960s the Civil Rights and Anti-VN War movements were portrayed by the far right as being communist inspired and funded. It is pretty damn hard to make Liz Warren and AOC seem quite so scary by comparison, but Fox and others will give it the old college try.

So as far as tactics go, there's nothing new under the sun, especially when prospects on the far right of the political spectrum are ebbing.
