    People who compare our unity after 9/11 to our division today are correct. America was shockingly unified after 9/11. That unity was turned by our leaders into war, surveillance, deportations, concentration camps, and torture.

        After 9/11, Democrats and Republicans came together to pass the Patriot Act. To create the Department of Homeland Security. To invade Iraq.

        We were unified. We were then exploited by our leaders.

        I've pitched this essay a few times over the years during the Trump Admin, when it's been obvious how the security state constructed after 9/11 is being used by an authoritarian to push us towards dictatorship, but with no luck. But lefties like me SAID this would happen then.

        9/11 has been a site of toxic nostalgia since 9/12 but trying to turn it into an anti-Trump rallying cry is next level Democratic brain worms. The unity you’re remembering is Bush standing on a mound of corpses with a bullhorn vowing to make Them pay.

        So it's 9/11. Hard to remember now how large the terrorist attack loomed in our national psyche; after all, in death toll Covid-19 is already the equivalent of 60 9/11s. But a few thoughts and recollections 1/
