US feels divisive in 9/11 aftermath as memories of unity fade
By Michael Goodwin
September 10, 2019

In some years, the images and memories are faded, as if from long, long ago. Other years, the horrors feel as fresh as when the burning towers collapsed.

Yet few anniversaries of 9/11 have been as fraught with troubling emotions as today’s. From the vantage point of the 18th anniversary, it is unfortunately true that the worst day in American history forged the last great moment of national unity.

The mourning and sense of common purpose that were so distinct then seem as if they happened in a different country in another century. Now our nation is not just polarized. It is fractured.

“I’ve never seen it like this,” an elderly friend told me recently. “I’m afraid of what’s happening to our country.”

She is not alone. And while the 9/11 attack certainly didn’t cause our bitter divisions, its ramifications are among the powerful forces still shaping our dangerous world.

Normally don't watch a.m. televison, but today noticed the "whitewashing" of who caused this event.  The words Islam. Moslem, were not mentioned in several programs.  20 years from now, kids won't know what really happened.

IMO, a lot of the supposed unity immediately after 9/11 was BDS-ridden Dems afraid to speak their minds openly in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. A year or two later they started dropping their deceptive restraint.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

It takes a major crisis to unite us.

And in today's atmosphere...I doubt that would do it.

Agreed.  The appearance of unity was only because it would have been a bad look to do/say otherwise.

: :thumbsup:  The left never  gave up on their plot to destroy America. 9/11 was just a momentary blip in their plans.
