@cowanon @LukeAlmighty @matrix You could go further back, if you want to, but then you'll get increasingly more problematic.
McCarthy was obsessed with the idea that communists had infiltrated the US since the 1930's, and with the homie Yuri we know they had that plan all along to subvert the nation from within. Post 9/11 was the time the long work they had done started paying off big time.
But then there was the Fabian Society that required those exact tactics and they are from earlier.
And then there was liberalism.
And then Jesus.
And then that guy that said the weak men can stay in the tribe and gather berries with the women instead of going out hunting sabre tooth tigers like everyone else.
He's the real problem here.
