Thanks.
Seems like all you have to do is claim that your opponent is a Russian-sympathizer and you can ban their party.
Remind anyone of 1950s McCarthyism and Red-Scare?
Except McCarthy was right, the venona papers exposed it.
McCarthy knowingly falsely accused multiple people of communism. He was belligerent and as his shenanigans progressed, people began to realize he was unhinged and actually harming the US with hysteria. It was depowering the US as we started to attack each other.
A broken 12-hour clock is right twice a day.
McCarthy is the perfect example of what NOT to do in a free country with political free speech protections. Zelenskyy and McCarthy are great parallels and Zelenskyy is walking the absolute retarded path of McCarthy. Unlike the US, Ukraine does not have the equivalent of the first amendment.
He was belligerent and as his shenanigans progressed, people began to realize he was unhinged and actually harming the US with hysteria.
Bullshit. McCarthy called out dozens who de facto were exposed years down the line as being just what he accused them of being: communists.
They literally were recording the conversations with their handlers and only released the info years later. The majority were in fact spies
