Rich Homie McCarthy doing some shady things

McCarthyism is a system in which the American government can entice its people to help them to purge themselves of the unknown possible communists that exist in their country. After the war the US was terrified of communism and became paranoid to the point where they turned inward in order to rid themselves completely of everything that even slightly relates to the Soviet Union and their ways of doing things. This era was encouraging citizens to turn upon each other in order to do the dirty work for the government, which thus only increased the state of fear that people lived in. They were not safe in their own homes, as even neighbors would accuse each other of communism. This era can be easily related to that of the salem witch trials because everyone is accusing people for the reason that they simply do not like them. People were forced to be publicly questioned for intimidation tactics, which in my personal opinion is barbaric to use one’s fellow citizens against one. And if these people were to be deemed communist then, must like the hollywood 10, they would be blacklisted and shunned from most of the community.
