The first Red Scare that began a century ago with the Palmer Raids wasn’t rooted in irrational hysteria. The government agencies that carried out the raids had an unambiguous goal: to destroy the radical left in the United States.
Defending mccarthy in any way is a defence of his actions. Communists existing in high offices is not an excuse to carry out those actions. You cool with republicans mass purging democrats from their positions because they don’t like their political beliefs? Murdering them? Deporting them? Throwing them in prison or worse, blacksites? Because that’s what you’re supporting and enabling with this shit.
