Similar to JVL’s Triad regarding partisanship, Bill Barr is beating the usual Republican drum of “Everything liberal is downstream of Communism.” The Republican Party essentially lossed its way after the Commie strawman for everything they didn’t like went away in the 90s, and all their left with is their terrible, unpopular policies and softcore bigotry.

The policies have been abandoned and the Commie-hating was repackaged as the bigotry.

He even makes the “worse than McCarthy” utter nonsense. Really? Joe Biden is worse than an entire government (and country, frankly) paralyzed from fear of being accused of being a Communist?? Seriously? Unbelievable.

Bill Barr is a Swamp Creature who peaked during the the Reagan era when we dug up the corpse of Commie fear and beat that drum again.

Bill, is the Commie in the room now? Show me on doll where the Commies touched you?

Jesus, man, get a grip. It’s embarrassing.

The irony is the flip side of “everything downstream from conservatism is fascism” seems to have people rapidly accelerating to the “natural endpoint”. Unfortunately, this constant fear of the both superhuman and infantile enemies (see: the left) is part of that terrifying orthodoxy.
