This is wrong.
In the early 2000s Americas assumed that every Muslim was secretly planning to kill America. The fbi kept entrapping dumb teens to provide fuel for this fire.
America also was busy linking everything together so that disliking the Israel occupation of Palestinian territory was the same thing as trying to kill America.
Seriously, I don't ever want to hear someone whine about wearing a mask again when 20 years ago it was a national outrage to be in public without a damn flag lapel.
I'm convinced that the hard pro-Israel turn that US evangelicals made after 9/11 is based on racist hatred of brown Muslim people. That, and a lot of money spent by Sheldon Adelson and co.
I mean, evangelicals had also been sorta pro Israel, but as someone who lived in that world pre-9/11, it wasn't anything close to what it is now IMO.
A huge part of it is that Evangelicals believe when all the Jews return to Jerusalem it will trigger their weird version of the Apocalypse. They don't care about Jewish people or Israel, they're just the means to an end. Literally the end of the world, in this case.

They got real hyped to do that.

As red scare was more about ideology and secret ideology.
This is currently anyone suggesting Russians aren’t subhuman are in fact also sub-human by proxy.
