The video of his speech is quite disturbing. We are clearly in the midst of a second coming of McCarthyism — with evangelicals as its vanguard.

It’s actually quite unnerving. They are going all in on “communists” and government take over of corporations if Democrats become the majority.

We better be prepared and have some party cohesion about “Communists” running for Congress — and the answer to that isn’t attacking progressives or even self branded Democratic Socialists in our party ourselves. That’ll get us exactly where Gaza got us in 2024.
