Unsolicited opinion on that:
“Communism“ and the threat that it represents was conflated with the USSR in the collective conscience of the west.
After a couple of decades of anxiety about nuclear war, the fall of the Soviet Union removed this bogeyman from our heads. Instead of painting Russia as the bad guy, films spent 10 years or so painting “whoever happen to get the nukes from the former Soviet union“ as the bad guy.
The gulf war, then 9/11 and its aftermath in the middle east took us to new chapters still. A human‘s capacity for attention is finite, and as western populations age and the entire population is occupied with media & technology, the perception of “threat of communism“ is filed on the far back shelf next to other monsters of the distant past.
Absolutely the Truth.
Communists disarmed their populations and then committed mass murder. USSR, Communist China, Cambodia.
Question back to You: Why don't people know about this genocide and act like this is the most dangerous thing that could happen to the USA ?

So true. This country needs to get a serious grip on the universities which are full blown commie rat nests
