    Accusing people of being Russian agents with no evidence as away of silencing disagreement.

      Eeh, come on. While yes, that is one way to put it, McCarthy has a certain ring to it, especially in left and liberal circles. Something something you cannot not evoke a thing without its frame.

        Notice how I know have multiple people stalking me across my entire post history and attacking me because I asked for evidence?

            Notice how this person is replying to every discussion I’m involved in to slander me; they’re doing that because I asked for evidence and they’re so furious they’ve started stalking me.

        Don’t even bother with brainlessbox. It’s a massive troll and ends up just repeating itself when faced with pushback.

        Attacking all of your political enemies by claiming that they’re secretly Russian agents, and then accusing anyone who asks you for evidence of also being Russian agents is very much in line with the ring McCarthy has to in in left and liberal circles.
