Are you referring to McCarthyism and the red scare?


In that case they were "persecuting" communists; today they persecute patriots.


Think more recent than that


[flagged]


More recent, but getting warmer.


Very recent then,

You must be meaning the one the Democrats were part of then-

Classifying any sort of Palestinian aid group as a terrorist organization to strip them of being nonprofits, pressuring schools to expel pro-palestinian protesters?

Or the other one the democrats lead- When every occupy wall street leader was arrested and the protesters were gassed by the military?


This subthread gives me hope that maybe the new management isn't so much worse after all.


Hey don't get it twisted-

Every president is a villain but while Obama didn't care about the first or fourth amendment, the current admin doesn't seem to care about anything.
