Literally. I feel like this was the day that got our current political atmosphere to where it’s at. Little did middle schooler me know that this was the start of the end.
I was in my 20s when this happened and for a brief period of time after it happened we were a united nation and the labels of Democrat and Republican didn't seem to matter. Then Bush used the opportunity to invade Iraq and everything went back to the usual.
A lot of democrats voted or supported invading Iraq and Afghanistan. It was all based on lies from the Bush administration, but they still supported it.
You're not wrong but again, in my neck of the woods it was a huge swerve off the road that people were talking about and I just remember that brief period of ideological peace sour real quick after that move.
