How can a country that has required you to take your shoes off at airport security for a 2001 foiled attempt without a single person hurt ...... be the same one that has no systematic plan to address >73,000 Americans dead, >1.2 million confirmed cases?

#COVID19 is in no small part (albeit indirectly) b/c the response to 9/11 is so widely perceived as too costly in blood, treasure, and freedom.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I'd say backlash to the policies that followed 9/11 played a huge part in electing Trump.

I mean I can't remember a single thing Trump said that even suggested he might be in favor of rolling back the PATRIOT Act on a civil liberties basis

At best, he kind of vaguely implied none of those inconveniences would've been necessary under his watch because he'd have just killed all the terrorists immediately
