A conservative who uses fear-mongering, smear attacks, and lying to silence or ruin the reputation of anyone who disagrees with them. Named after the infamous Senator Joseph McCarthy from 1950's
Even after the McCarthyist was caught red handed persecuting someone for practising their right to free speech, the McCarthyist still tried to play the victim.

Get the McCarthyist mug.A post-Trumpian movement with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy as it’s vapid MAGA figurehead who actively seeks to dissemble the US Constitution.
The New McCarthyism mobilizes white “victims” who fear the browning of America and who are therefore easily galvanized to support and engage in violence as a result of his hate speech which is a not-so-veiled hybrid of Hitler’s Third Reich and The Handmaid’s Tale.

Get the the New McCarthyism mug.n unscrupulously accusing people of disloyalty (as by saying they were Communists).
In 1947, President Truman had ordered background checks of every civilian in service to the government. When Alger Hiss, a high-ranking State Department official was convicted on espionage charges, fear of communists intensified.
(McCarthy) capitalized on national paranoia by proclaiming that COMMUNIST SPIES were omnipresent and that he was America's only salvation.
Don't criticize the United States. Don't be different. Just conform.

Get the McCarthyism mug.Radical Right-Wing Organizations who seek to undermine academic freedom by censuring professors and institutions that don’t agree with them. Their biggest targets are state run colleges that could easily be punished state and federal budget cuts. Right wing activist who support these beliefs tend to covertly operate under the name of Academic Freedom. Especially since they tend to like playing the martyr when the opposition retaliates against them.
These groups and organizations tend to make the crazy claim that professors that teach the positive and negative aspects of history have anti American agenda.
College groups that support College McCarthyism tend to go around play a form of thought Police in which they investigate professor’s and college staff’s voting records and report any professors that teach classes that expose the abusive history of the Far Right.
Among the ideas of these far right wing groups is to pass a Anti-Academic-Freedom Bill of Rights.
Among the College McCarthism organizations are
Students for Academic Freedom
Accuracy in Academia
College McCarthyism supporters tend to get a huge amount of their funding from Neo Conservative Organizations.
