Faulkneresque, Pulitzer Prize-winning author who wrote quality novels like "Blood Meridian," "Child of God," "All The Pretty Horses," "The Road" and most notably "No Country For Old Men," since it was adapted into a film done by the consistently brilliant Coen Bros.
Arguably, he's the greatest American writer alive. Many of his books are quite bleak & are heavy on Southern language ("Whatta you mean you caint!") but if you can handle that, you'll see what a treasure he is to literature.

Get the Cormac McCarthy mug.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 Danielle McCarthy mug.A gay, boozing, child-molesting U.S. Senator who presided over a Communist witch-hunt during the 1950s, ruining many innocent peoples' lives in the process. Anyone left of Hitler was potentially a "Communist" to McCarthy. In fact, if your brother's friend's cousin's ex-wife's roomate happened to attend a Communist meeting in the 1930s, you probably would've been accused of being a Soviet spy and then would have to kiss your job and reputation goodbye.
Republicans have tried to resurrect this pathetic man as some kind of hero who saved us from the tide of communism (historical revionism is popular with the GOP), but the truth is most of Senator McCarthy's "intelligence" was based on little more than his vivid imagination, rumors, half-truths or gossip. He even admitted to J. Edgar Hoover that he made up the numbers on his infamous list as he went along, forcing the FBI to account for them (his office was an FBI front, he hired so many ex-FBI agents on his staff it was known as "the little FBI").
Despite all of Joe's wild claims about a vast communist conspiracy bent on subverting America, the third in command at the Bureau admitted there wasn't enough evidence to prove there was even a single Communist in the State Department. That didn't stop ol' Joe, however, he just got more reckless and bizarre in his accusations. He even started attacking President Eisenhower and the Army. This scared Hoover away and the FBI stopped helping McCarthy, setting in motion his eventual downfall. In December 1954, he became the fourth member in history to be censured by the U.S. Senate. He died in disgrace in May 1957 from his own alcoholism.

Get the Joe McCarthy 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 paul mccartney mug.a gay, pedophilic, coke-snorting US Senator from Wisconsin who ruined the lives of countless numbers of Americans in his paranoid witch-hunt against alleged Communists and who severely damaged the American political system until he was brought down. Inexplicably, right wing authors like Ann Coulter are trying to rehabilitate his reputation
Joseph McCarthy played upon people's fears of communism to advance his own political career and in the process corrupted American democracy
