Goldwater tapped into postwar frustration with Franklin Roosevelt's Yalta agreement with the Soviet Union, anger at the communist takeover of China during the Truman administration, and fear at the discovery of alleged Communist sympathizers at high levels of the federal government.

Goldwater was painted as a dangerous figure by the Johnson campaign, which countered Goldwater's slogan "In your heart, you know he's right" with the line "In your guts, you know he's nuts."
