McCarthy was a goddamned hero and a true patriot. He ruined his entire professional career in what can equate to a Paul Revere style warning. Let’s not disrespect the man knowing what we now know—but I do understand what you’re saying. Instead of one man it’s a whole civilian army this time

This.. is news to me. Before you go and downvote, I want to put out I am trying to learn here.

I am class of 2006. Everything I heard about McCarthy was he simply used the Red Scare for political purposes. If that is untrue... where's the best place I can unfuck what I was taught? I never seen anythibg positive about him online til now.

Hang around here, and you'll learn quite a bit lol. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a bad time to just be learning stuff, but I'll say this: understand that everything taught to you in school, is endorsed by communist/socialists, and whatever it is corporate gov stooges want you to know. If you start by always remembering that, and just research history in general, you'll start to understand, even from their own narratives.
