Dear Liberals: “F*ck you, that doesn’t work anymore.”

US Senator Joseph McCarthy was in the middle of an otherwise boring speech at the Republican Women’s Club of Wheeling, West Virginia on February 9, 1950, when he pulled out a nondescript piece of paper from his jacket pocket.

Waving the paper into the air for all to see, Senator McCarthy proclaimed that he possessed a list of more than 200 known Communists in the United States, and that he would make sure they were all outed and punished.

McCarthy spent the next several years besmirching many innocent people’s reputations– from actors like Charlie Chaplin and Lucille Ball, to physicists Robert Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein.

But McCarthy held all the cards; people were so afraid of being publicly accused that they kept silent and submitted to his reign of terror. It took nearly five years for the Senate to finally summon the courage and put a stop to it.

This has been the tactic of the Left for roughly seven years now.

Despite a record of abject failure– open borders, multiculturalism, COVID lockdowns, DEI, criminal justice reform, green policies, etc. that have destroyed their own strongholds from San Francisco to Chicago to New York– they’re hypersensitive to even the slightest criticism.

We’ve seen it for years now: if express concern about people getting stabbed on the metro then you’re a racist. Vote anything but Left and you’re a fascist.

They don’t argue. They don’t debate. They just pull a McCarthy: they smear, shout, and denounce you with some of the worst names you can label a human being.

Nazi. Fascist. White supremacist. To say nothing of Misogynist, Transphobe. Islamophobe. Xenophobe.

And for a while, the Left’s McCarthyist tactics worked like a charm.

For nearly eight years—starting with the #MeToo movement in 2017—all they had to do was point and accuse. Call someone a predator, a harasser, a threat to women, and it was over. No evidence required.

Look at Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh: the Left reached back more than four decades to when he was a teenager in high school and turned it into a public inquisition.

They forced the nation into believing that due process was no longer valid. No more presumption of innocence. No right to clear your name. Instead, we must “believe all women” (except for the ones who accused Bill Clinton and Joe Biden).

And it worked so well, they ran the same scam again and again.

After George Floyd’s death, if you were against burning and looting cities, you were labeled a white supremacist.

During COVID, if you questioned mandates, masks, or lockdowns, you were an anti-vaxxer, a science denier, a grandma killer.

People lost their jobs, their reputations, their businesses for wrongthink. For not being sufficiently outraged. For asking questions.

The Left kept this moral high ground in its clutches for nearly eight years, weaponizing it to bludgeon anyone who dared step out of line.

And it worked. They silenced millions of people who were afraid of being called a racist.

But the Left started to lose control when people finally began connecting the dots—realizing that these failed policies were destroying America.

Yet instead of acknowledging their failures or offering a clear plan to fix anything, the Left did what they always do: they doubled down.

They sent Barack Obama out during the 2024 election to insult voters and tell young black males they weren’t man enough to vote for a woman President.

They rolled out new labels and created new slurs. Trump and his voters constituted a “threat to democracy” and western civilization writ large.

Their relentless demonization resulted in two separate assassination attempts… after which they blamed “both sides”. Their subsequent promises to ‘tone down the rhetoric’ lasted all of fifteen minutes before they started up the “threat to democracy” chorus again.

Even after they lost the 2024 election, the Left still refused to reflect and correct; and so the entirety of 2025 so far has been the exact same McCarthyist tactics.

When Iryna Zarutska was brutally murdered on a train in Charlotte (thanks to the indulgences of a woke local judiciary), the Left defended her killer and denounced people as “racist”– including Charlie Kirk– simply for being outraged over Zarutska’s murder.

Days later when Charlie Kirk was assassinated, the media dismissed him as a “far-right” political commentator. And those were the polite ones. Others described him as a “hate monger”, “bigot”, and “white nationalist”.

And, just days after that when a rally in the UK brought out 1+ million people protesting their incompetent government’s failures (and crackdowns on free speech), the BBC called the participants “far right” and “racists”.

The Left is still grasping to the one power they have. They refuse to admit their failures. They have to plan to fix anything. So instead, they simply denounce their critics as evil racists and fascists.

But like Senator McCarthy in the 1950s, they’ve overplayed their hand. The Left has become the Boy who Cried Wolf… or in this case, the Angry Progressive who Cried Racist.

No one believes them anymore. And so, the one power they had– to hold people hostage with the threat of being called vile names– is collapsing right in front of our eyes.

Remember that if you happen to be accosted by a deranged Leftist lunatic– someone who shrieks at you for being a Nazi or racist. The only response is– “F*ck you, that doesn’t work anymore.”

These people are finished. And it’s thanks to Charlie Kirk.
