Actually you've gone one thing wrong on your history Rex.
Just like it is politically incorrect to criticize Islam today, it used to be politically incorrect to criticize Communism and especially the Soviet Union.
During the 70's, all the reports of mass starvation within Soviet Russian were dismissed by academics as fraudulent stories meant to discredit the wonderful and scientific new way of Communism. Just how the left today refuses to believe in the mass genocide, slavery, and slaughter, Muslims routinely engage in today and over the past centuries, so too did the left refuse to believe millions of Russians and Chinese starved under collectivization.
You had guys like George Bernard Shaw, who openly praised the USSR whenever he could, go and visit the country but still refuse to live there claiming he needed to help his countrymen back home see the light of Communism.
When Reagan ran in the 80's, he was hated by the left because he spoke out against Communism and people accused him of fostering bad relations with Russia and potentially starting a nuclear war. Even Bernie Sanders started exchange programs between Vermont and parts of the USSR in the 80's so he could gain insight into their communal ways of living.
However, after the bankruptcy of the USSR in 1991 and the truth of what an evil system of Communism became too obvious to deny, the left quietly dropped the issue and has since pretended they never supported Communism at all.
Instead, they've pivoted to race and religious based issues, hence Islam. The left has always been fatally attracted to evil ideologies. The only real solution to this mess is to reform the education system to stop brainwashing American youths into believing evil bullshit.
Regardless, all the ways you see the media criticize Trump today on illegal immigration and Islam, was pretty much exactly the same way they denigrated Reagan for being tough on Communism. As they say - history rhymes.
