to think, those fucking idiots thought they could bring down the US by flying planes into the twin towers when all they needed to do was wait for Republicans to get enough power.
I mean the rampant islamophobia and patriot washing of conservative media absolutely got more pervasive thanks in part to those planes. Probably not the domino, but certainly moved us in this direction.
it got dialed up, sure, but it was always there. it's not like the US started the first Gulf War after 9/11. you were already moving in that direction for decades, 9/11 just happened to be spectacular enough to be an accelerant. they got to falsely justify more atrocities faster.
Bush 2 wouldn't have been reelected if it wasn't for 9/11.
We wouldn't have had the patriot act.
We wouldn't have spent trillions on the wars.
There's absolutely no way we would have ended up where we are right now if it wasn't for 9/11.
that's where we disagree. just because this was used as justification for a lot of bullshit doesn't mean something else wouldn't be otherwise. it would've taken a bit longer but it was going to happen one way or another
Republicans were in power when those planes hit the towers.
