As a Latino, I’m kinda upset over the “controversy” over this.

    It’s amazing that even that (that last part that you pointed out) makes conservatives uncomfortable.

    Even so, the idea of a New Red Scare is an apt one and I believe that the Second Red Scare of the 1950s did end or at least ebbed and flowed since the 1950s.

    We should take this new salvo against communism seriously, the one in recent years.

        Yeah, during the 1990s and 2000s, the anti-communism arguably died down, though the communist movement lost its mojo in almost its entirety (even China grappled with currents that wanted to lessen or abandon Marxism-Leninism during the 1990s, for example). It’s only after 2008 and especially 2016 that we came back in a major way.
