the justified and legitimate organic anxiety of a nation facing a rising totalitarian threat from communism. communists were invading and annexing countries on the european continent, colonizing and overthrowing the governments in other parts of the globe, and building weapons in a bid to eliminate all global alternatives to the red communist system.
the first era of the red menace was in the 19-teens and twenties. this was a time when progressives loyal to the russian revolution were setting off bombs in u.s. cities and attempting to assasinate u.s. presidents.
the second era was spurred by the revelation that the u.s. state department had become ridden with soviet spies. this , in conjunction with overt soviet power maneuvers in the hemisphere caused americans to support greater vigilance from their leaders.

communism is a doctrine of slavery which literally reduces a person's value to the cost of their labor. the fact that most progressives believe that it is acceptable to kill to bring this system home is why most people perceived communism to be a red menace.

Get the Red Gaurd mug.Extreme intolerance to anyone with opposing views. Origin: In June 2018 The Red Hen restaurant Lexington, VA kicked out a customer who worked for a person they did not like based solely on politics, creating a national outcry for compassion and tolerance in public places.

Get the Red Hen mug.1. Against my better judgment, I glanced down in the porta-pot and noticed a floating red banana among the piles of dung.

Get the Red Banana mug.Red Sox Nation...just the gayest thing to hit baseball. The biggest banwaggon fanclub in any sport. Half the fans dont know anything about the team, but since they live in Boston..they root for them without ever watching a full game and only know the key players because of all their endorcements.
