As someone once remarked, the thing about the 1950s witch hunts that is willfully overlooked…

…is that there were, in fact, a lot of actual “witches”: “The Venona Cables Proved American Elites Spied for the Communists. Liberals Are Still in Denial.“

“Ah, American liberals! Marx love ’em! The most effective fifth column I ever saw. And still going strong, all these decades later.”
