"Exhuming McCarthy" by R.E.M. connects McCarthyism of the 40s with Reaganomics of the 80s. Following R.E.M., I utilized McCarthyism to depict the January 6 insurrection during which Kevin Owen McCarthy, Speaker of the House, attempted to impede the investigation. McCarthy is portrayed as a red boxing glove featuring his initials, K and O, while other characters are depicted as inflatable punching bags. The term "Red Scare" symbolizes fear and uncertainty, just like the red "Make America Great Again" hat. Additionally, Red represents the fears of Russian interference in the 2020 election, the concerns about red states in the same election, and the apprehension towards China due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The concept of a blacklist captures my interpretation of the NFL and other companies blackballing individuals who choose to protest. The word "exhuming" is intentionally spelled as "X Zoom In" to draw attention to the Xs on the targets as most of the symbols are too small to easily see.
