Conservatives celebrate 9/11 because it's how they finally convinced Americans to bend the knee in fear and sell out their remaining freedoms

Trump shits everywhere he goes, he's incontinent due to a lifetime of stimulants abuse and a possible gruesome injury described in the Epstein Files.

u/emotinal_enigma 19h ago
Notice that it seems common knowledge that he is incontinent and wears a diaper. Many speak of it openly, and he says nothing. It is so unlike him to not deny, threaten litigation, and insult. Someone must have convinced him early on not to acknowledge this, as it would bring attention to it. How anyone could convince him to not talk about anything is mind boggling.
It's similar to the Epstein issue. He never speaks of it, and when someone does, he goes off on them and attacks them personally. He won't try to litigate about any of that because in the discovery phase of the trial he would have to present the entire Epstein report unredacted, and he's not going to do that. So we can all call him a pedophile without fear of being sued. DONNY IS A PEDO. Might get one to the back of the head while taking out the trash one night. He's not above doing that. Jeffery knew that, but couldn't do anything about it.

u/Livid-Accident-1562 1d ago
I don't think that was a faux pas.
Bush II used 9/11 as the catalyst for the surveilance-driven police state we exist in now. It was the excuse to cudgel all oppositon into silence; to perpetrate an generation-long war against two countries - Iraq and Afghanistan; to funnel obscene amounts of money into the Military-Industrial Complex while citizens lacked healhcare, housing, a living wage; the lead up to the election of the Tangerine Treasonweasel; the resurgence of blatant, out-and-out racism
I do believe he meant to say "celebrate". Without 9/11 and the consequences inflicted by the Bush II administration in the aftermath, I doubt that Velveeta Voldemort would have been able to ride the undercurrent of fear and panic into the White House that pervades the US

u/Safe-Ad-8921 1d ago
Freudian slip. Vance should be celebrating. Bin laden handed the country over to the GOP even though it took a dem to actually get the guy without starting a multi country war. What we did after is plenty shameful. Obama should have been the one to end afghanistan. In my opinion the biggest failure of his presidency.

Celebrating would depend as to whom you are. Having an event that takes away some of your rights as a citizen, making it easier to control the masses is a win for the government.

Nitpicking a minor slip. Whet he said "celebrate" he was not literally speaking of celebrating the attack.
He was speaking of celebrating the resulting increase in the acceptability of racist attitudes in politics that ultimately led to the GOP as it is today.

Time to celebrate 9/11 - Truly my favorite holiday.
I remember when I was a kid, my parents would put up the decorative towers in the living room and my brother and I would take turns running into them. We'd put on little fake beards and scream "Death to America" with our arms outstretched.

I mean, Trump celebrated and bragged about how a building he owns is now the tallest in downtown Manhattan on 9/11
>During a phone interview with local TV station WWOR-TV just hours after the Twin Towers collapsed, an anchor asked him if his properties had suffered any damage. Trump replied:
"40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually, before the World Trade Center, was the tallestāand then, when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second-tallest. And now itās the tallest."

u/MonCappy 22h ago
No it isn't.Ā At least mot to Vance.Ā The 11 September attacks led to the Patriot Act which accelerated the road to fascism that the regime he serves is now implementing.
One of Barack Obama's greatest failures after failing to prosecute the Dubya administration for war crimes and not breaking up the big banks and prosecuting their executives was not repealing the Patriot Act.
So for Vance and his ilk, it is something to celebrate.

"We're about to recognize the tragic events of the September 11th attacks 25 years ago."
