McCarthy seemed invincible for 4 years and then suddenly support for him collapsed. Former cheerleaders acted like they barely knew him. The media was especially apologetic, because it realized he took advantage of a newish mid-century norm about covering both sides objectively. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone has a pet historical analogue to Trump but McCarthy holds up well. This is a 1982 review of a book on McCarthy & media: “levelled accusations of treason at people he knew nothing about,” “lied with such boldness that he distracted a nation and shot it full of distrust.” https://t.co/wDozbMmGZN — PolitiTweet.org

The dynamic here is that at a certain point the cost of defending a demagogue spreading constant lies becomes greater than admitting that the opposition you despise may be right about the nature of your party leader. We are not at that point yet but it can come fast. — PolitiTweet.org
