"McCarthyism"

McCarthyism is a predominant persuasive lie of accusing a person or group of people as or in acquaintance communists to or supporting its belief or communist people. McCarthyism was an abusive move for the purpose of gaining power and popularity used and founded by Joe McCarthy, the terrible senator during the cold war. Since Joe McCarthy was getting anywhere to reach popularity and in jeopardy of losing his position as senator from his ranking as worst senator of the United States, he tries to think of a way to gain popularity fromt the people. He soon realizes the easiest way is accuse people of having some relations with communism and during that era, anyone accused of being communist could bring that person under serious consequence. McCarthy goes and keeps on telling people that he would hear, see, or notice communists in certain areas, states, or inside certain buildings. He would bring up that he knows there are 200 communist in one area and he would make a list of fake communist people who actually are listed from real people’s names. He does gain lots of popularity and it startles the position of presidency. He majorly affected the Americans to become very paranoid about many communists existing in the U.S., but in reality there was only a little. In the end, from no proof of real communist from McCarthy, the people know he’s lying and ignore him. This kind of starts to fade the idea of many communists spies or communists in general being present in America.
