here's how we got to "here"
there was a massive war in europe - we didn't want to get in it, but when we decided that we would, we thought it would be "really great" if germany had to fight on two fronts instead of just one (where we were)
so we funded these people called "bolsheviks" in russia
and they fought germany and we were able to win the war quicker because they had to split their forces between west and east
those bolsheviks became the USSR - the soviet union
then WW2 happened - and stalin was our "ally"
again, they helped us fight against germany
the russians were the "good guys" right?
so after the war, nazis were "bad" and communists were "good"
we let communists come over here to the US where they found warm friendly welcome in..... universities, the entertainment industry and the media, and the US govt itself (cough - state dept - cough)
