ummm....no. McCarthyism was the original cancel culture. he used his power to completely destroy the lives of those he didn't like. the vast majority weren't commies and some ended up committing suicide
And in the process he undermined his own cause of anti-communism by making it look fraudulent & died in disprepute. Not who you want on your side.

The problem with McCarthyism is that it advocates statism as a solution for fighting communism. This something many people noted about us during the Cold War.

As Bucky referenced he was from Wisconsin.
They do have a reputation as Badgers.
ETA: to ensure no confusion, I support McCarthy and the Badgers (unless it is a day they play OSU).
