Neo-McCarthyism 

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.

McCarthyism 

Post-medieval witch hunt, and testiment to mankind's inherent flaws which will inevitably lead to its own destruction.
After ages of prosecuting christians, jews, freemasons, pagans and communists, we still haven't learned anything, really.

the New McCarthyism 

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.
