I think that conflating concern about Putin's influence with McCarthyism is a bit of a stretch.

It honestly reads like the author dismisses the potential of foreign influence affecting both domestic actors and politics outright without proof. There's ample evidence that Russian state-affiliated actors have worked with social media influencers to foment outrage, for example. That's not a "new red scare", that's straight up proof of intelligence operations designed to undermine Russia's geopolitical opponents.

Yeah but the if you like Russia doing this, would not you shill 'red scare' too?
