“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0
Robert Cauthorn, writing at the Las Vegas Sun, hears a number of rhymes between today and the era of McCarthyism and the “Red Scare.” Here’s just one of them; follow the link for the rest.
Just like today, in the 1950s the forces of authoritarianism talked about the people who opposed them as degenerates and sexual deviants. And it should not go unnoticed that McCarthy’s right hand was lawyer Roy Cohn, who later became Donald Trump’s prized mentor.
Methinks you will find his article somewhat disquieting.
