The major reason it affected so many people was the propoganda machine. They scared the crap out of the American people. The cold war also brought upon the fear of nuclear weapons being used to blow up the United States of America or even the world. A nuclear Holocaust. There was a general fear of communism created by propoganda which effected Americans through all aspects of media: radio, news, movies, Cartoons, etc. you name it, and the anti-communism sentiment was included in all media outlets.
I'll add that this was NOT simply an American problem. Nuclear war would have killed the entire planet eventually. That tends to get EVERYBODY'S attention, worldwide.

How did the cold war affect the nations that became part of NATO?
The Cold War involved the creation of huge stockpiles of nuclear weapons, warships, military aircraft etc., all of which are extremely expensive to build even if they are not used in war; taxpayers had to pay for all this (or at least, have to bear the burden of the national debt resulting from borrowing the money to pay for it). The Cold War included a number of subsidiary wars, notably including the Korean War and the Vietnam War, in which ordinary people were drafted to fight, and in which many people died and many were injured. Many young men simply left the US, to avoid being drafted. So the Cold War did take its toll on ordinary people.
