It is mind boggling to me that in the year 2023 we're complaining about porn, LGBT existence, and fucking book content. Isn't this what we were laughing at 20 years ago? About book burnings and how stupid the previous generations were for fearing and banning media that challenged them?
The real impact of the 9/11 attacks: There is direct line from shock and confusion to nationalistic rhetoric and "'OOORAH!"- patriotism to the rise of the Tea Party, the growing influence of the Evangelicals up to the emergence of Trumpism and Qanon.
Don't forget that the CIA armed and trained the militias that would eventually become Al Qaeda. We were the architects of our own demise.
