Both McCarthyism and the post-9/11 era are characterized by heightened fears of internal threats, leading to widespread suspicion and the targeting of specific groups perceived as dangerous. During McCarthyism, anti-communist sentiment fueled paranoia and led to the persecution of individuals based on alleged communist affiliations. Similarly, after the 9/11 attacks, there was a surge in Islamophobia and the profiling of Muslims, resulting in civil liberties violations and a culture of fear. In both cases, the societal response was marked by a rush to judge and act against perceived threats, often at the expense of due process and individual rights.
