The Red Scare Is Back… Trump Just Opened McCarthy’s Playbook.

from A WORLD GONE MAD · host Jeff Alan Wolf

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWLindsey Graham’s sudden death should have been a moment for reflection. Instead, it became something else almost immediately. Kash Patel and the FBI got involved.Before the facts had a chance to catch up, the speculation took off at full speed.In today’s America, that’s becoming the rule instead of the exception.Then came language that should sound familiar to anyone who’s paid attention to history. The words may be different. The technology may be different. But the political playbook? That hasn’t changed nearly as much as we’d like to believe.What happens when fear becomes a campaign strategy? When political opponents stop being opponents and start being portrayed as enemies hiding in plain sight? America has traveled down this road before, and the similarities are difficult to ignore.I’ll explain why I believe Donald Trump is dusting off one of the oldest political playbooks in American history. Trump’s calling people “communists”. That’s why the phrase “Red Scare” matters far more than most people realize, and why history has a habit of returning with a fresh coat of paint.I’ll also take a hard look at another story that’s receiving far less attention than it deserves: America’s growing missile shortage. As tensions with Iran continue, are we quietly burning through military stockpiles faster than we can replace them? It’s a question that could have consequences far beyond the current conflict.This is Episode 251 of A World Gone Mad—where history matters, common sense is trying to have a seat at the table, and asking uncomfortable questions is always welcome.If you’ve enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I’m not backed by Corporate media.
