Sadly, 9/11 is the Right Wing Fourth of July

To them:
It justified their fear
It justified their racism
It justified all their phobias
It justified a call to war
It justified their religion
It justified a culture war
It justified everything they believe

The joy that we first saw on the media on the first anniversary and have since seen on social media is alarming, to me. Pure joy from misery. That is their essence.

"Everything changed".

No, it didn't.

When they made Benghazi an issue, EVERY Democrat in the country should have been screaming, "Are you fucking kidding me?" "Why do these partisan hipocrites give Bush and Cheney a free pass on the deaths of 5,000 Americans on their watch on 9/11?"

But Democrats still act like there are rules in public discourse, while the GOP ruthlessly lies and distorts the truth.

as if only white, Christian, conservative people died horrific deaths that day. They should be called out on it at every turn.
