This is what happens when fake news has real consequences. Faux news corp and it's affiliates, like the republican congress and senate, have trained its drooling electorate to accept that which would cause the founding fathers to spin like tops in their graves.
The threat to our nation and way of life has gone from fantasy to a very real existential issue. I remember as a younger person watching on the evening news (real news) Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev at the United Nations pounding on the the table with his shoe, frantic and frothing, screaming that they would "bury us", meaning that the Soviet Union would bury the United States.

Maybe McCarthy was right, maybe we are awash in commies. He just had the wrong group of commies, it was the Republican Party all along.
