When Melissa McCarthy gives a dead on perfect, no doubt, Emmy winning performance, mocking you in front the entire world... making you look like more of an asshat, than you already do to yourself. Truly McCarthyism at its finest.
That Melissa McCarthy... she's more Spicer than Spicer. She really knows how to tap into a character. This is what McCarthyism looks like! This is what McCarthyism looks like! This is what McCarthyism looks like!

Neo-McCarthyism is when you investigate just about everything about everyone out of paranoia. Over-thorough secrurity inspections at airports are an example of Neo-McCarthyism. This term was coined by Mike Newhouse in the classic movie Dazed and Confused.
Mike: I didn't think drugs and alchohol were such a big deal they had to resort to Neo-McCarthyism to get rid of it.
Pink: I think they're just worried that some of us are having too good a time.

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.

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.
