It's the conservative that are quick to label people as "communists" or "socialists", Most of the time those that cry out and make charges are really ignorant as to what these systems are.

Yet it was the conservatives of the time in WWII that created the Japanese internment (concentration) camps. DeWitt's unrestrained paranoia, racism, coupled the eagerness of whites on the West Coast in taking the opportunity to steal several billion dollars of property and businesses from loyal American citizens of Japanese descent drove this action.

In the 1960' and 70's this paranoia manifested itself in groups like the John Birch Society. Again conservatives. We see echos of this on this site recently by some of our Texas contingency.

There has always been "us" and "them" in any society. But it is usually the conservatives that make the biggest case about "thems". We see it today in the hue and cry from those opposing the BLM.

Given the assault on the American society the last 4 years, the real "them" have become the republicans and the retrumplicans.
