NO!
I was in NYC on 9/11 and had to continue going there because I worked there.
Couldn't go to the World Trade Center area after because it made me too upset.
STILL get upset every 9/11 because it reminds me of the times I was scared for my life.
NYC hated Trump then because everyone knew what he was about. This is NOT his to claim.
edit - spelling
The US and Israel commit daily 9/11s in Gaza/Lebanon/Yemen/Iran/etc.
You should be upset about 9/11, you should understand the motivations of those who perpetrated it, you should be upset about the root cause, and you should be disgusted that your country continues to level civilian buildings while casually celebrating it on group chat.
You should get over the idea that 9/11 was so uniquely evil, it's the one time the American empire felt a fraction of the evil it puts out into the world.
Would you have been this upset if Biden suggested the federal government is taking the responsibility to fund the memorial? Would you have opposed ensuring the long term maintenance of it and eliminating the risk of financial issues in the long term?
Have you heard their proposal, or you're rejecting it only because it's GOP? You know a lot of republicans live in NY and a lot of them died on 9/11, right? You know nearly 3.5 million New Yorkers voted for Trump, right?
If there's one thing the federal government knows how to fund and maintain, it's war propaganda monuments. Just look at DC, and look at how actual veterans are left to rot homeless and broke while the monuments to honor them are ludicrously grand and luxurious.
i just realized I am logged into different instances on my phone and desktop.
I agree and find this upsetting as well.
I understand the motivations. I am disgusted by US indiscriminate killing in foreign countries.
Never said 9/11 was unique. I said 9/11 sticks in my head because it was one of the few times "I was scared for my life." I was scared and could do nothing which is the desired effect of a terrorist act.
No
I have not heard the proposal but based upon things that have happened during Trump's second term the proposal will not match reality. Also, I over-generalized NYC's hatred of Trump. I'm sure he did well in Staten Island.
Agree
