Many Americans believed there were communists in the U.S. government due to the heightened fears of the Red Scare, particularly after World War II and during the early Cold War era. This paranoia was fueled by real events, such as the exposure of Soviet espionage cases and the influence of communist ideology in various sectors. Influential figures, like Senator Joseph McCarthy, stoked these fears by claiming to uncover communist infiltrators, leading to widespread suspicion and a culture of accusation. The combination of geopolitical tensions and domestic political campaigns further amplified these beliefs.
