So...McCarthyism Redux?

Been there, done that.  Contrary to popular belief, McCarthyism was never really repudiated (Goldwater, e.g. The John Birch Society was active into the '70's.)  And many historians say our current political situation has its roots in Goldwater's defeat.

And no, I don't see MTG taking up the mantle of Tailgunner Joe anytime soon.  History repeats itself, the second time as farce.  And MTG is nothing if she's not farcical. That's yet another farce, which has just about played itself out. Migrants from South America (and elsewhere!, but coming up through Mexico as well) are not cooperating with the "invasion" narrative. And Abbott is not winning friends and influencing people with his shipments of immigrants to other cities. He's trying to undermine Biden, but he's only proving the need for immigration reform.

These clowns can't keep refusing to catch the car forever.
