I noted that MSNBC tonight tried to bring together McCarthyism from Joe McCarthy's time in the 1950s with Kevin McCarthy today. The idea was that both were willing to smear or lie about things for partisan political advantage.
I'm not feeling great about the connection. This isn't saying I'm happy about what Joe McCarthy did way back when, or that one should push the Big Lie today. They just seem to be different themes. There is such a weak connection other than the shared name that it isn't worth making.
Would anyone take it seriously?

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
