Real Mass Hysteria, American Style

By Jonah Goldberg

7/24/2018


My friend Dennis Prager writes, “You and I are living through the greatest mass hysteria in American history. For many Americans, the McCarthy era held that dubious distinction, but what is happening now is incomparably worse.”

The mass hysteria he has in mind is the liberal and mainstream-media groupthink about Trump and allegations of Russian collusion. I’ll leave that argument for others, or at least for another time.

Instead, I’d like to dissent from the claim that today’s hysteria — or the hysteria of the McCarthy period — deserves the title of “greatest mass hysteria in American history.”

My nominee for that would be the domestic terror fomented by Woodrow Wilson during the First World War and the first “red scare” that followed it. Let me offer a small taste of the evidence (some of it culled from my book, Liberal Fascism).

Woodrow Wilson--racist, statist, elitist, and probably some things nobody knows about.

Things can never be worse than when a democrat is in power.

   Shortly after the Midterms, Trump will resign from the pressure of all the bimbo eruptions and investigations, taking spineless Pence down with him and Speaker McCarthy will call for snap elections and Viola Ted Cruz.  :cool:
