It's right wing populism. It's the second Lavender Scare. Populism has never worked, it's too chaotic. But that's what regular folks are goaded into by people like Tucker Carlson. He's a multimillionaire being paid to defend billionaires. He is the wealthy owner class he screams about on TV.
McCarthy hearings? They said Hillary's "reset" of Russia relations was stupid. Then Putin invaded Ukraine (the first time) and Republicans started slobbing that knob.
