"In my mind, this era, like McCarthyism, must be remembered as to never allow this to happen again. We need to remind people just how insane this was, especially at its 2020 peak. People's lives were ruined because of this. Some in the media need to be held accountable, just as the McCarthyists were."

"I went to this movie in a group of 4 with 2 us being aware of the cold war and WW2 and the other 2 I had to explain to them what McCarthyism was...so yeah. The anti-communist sentiments made no sense to them and they only had a very shallow understanding of it."
"Like in a few decades everyone will be all like damn, haha yeah we got a bit intense for a bit there lol, sorry about that"
"Silent Generation: The Organization Man, Mad Men-style drudgery, McCarthyism (paranoia), Beat poetry, and The Twilight Zone."
