It made many Americans fear the Soviets and have contempt for anyone who showed any socialist tendencies because they were constantly bombarded with political anti-soviet propaganda. This really distorted the general population's understanding of world events and many people in the US still believe things that have been proved as historically wrong such as the missile gap.
