The meme reads:
I do not feel how I did in 2016.
I feel like I did when the plane struck the second tower.
We all realized what was happening.
I said this to my kids tonight. I said I feel the same kind of dread I did on 9/11 and shared how my Mom felt as a teacher during the Cuban Missile Crisis teaching the kids to hide under desks in the event of an attack. And now, as a Canadian, under attack in a different way. ☹️
Had North and South towers backwards, as @steveharvey2001.bsky.social pointed out.
I don't like leaving false info, so wanted to fix it, lacking an edit feature. Debating deleting the original, incorrect post, but also hate losing the replies. 🤔
I was in NYC a month later. The (good) NYT was still posting stories about the heroes and sheroes that day. How a caregiver wanted to stay with her wheelchaired charge, and he sent her home before the towers fell. He only asked to be wheeled to a phone to call his wife. It still brings me to tears.
Did ya? You knew then 9/11 was orchestrated by Mossad and Netanyahu? That they created, with the help of Islamic terrorists, the islamophobia all around the globe in order to destroy the Middle East and create the Great 🤮 Israel?
Hey, I was just minding my business, then you happened. Now, here I am, sending this message, hoping to uncover the kind of conversation that makes time disappear. So, tell me—should I prepare for laughter, deep talks, or a little bit of both?
It does, or maybe like being on that second plane and knowing where it was headed and seeing a large percentage of the other passengers cheering it on.
Ya you’re right. It went all maga for a couple weeks and that was boring tried to check out blue sky but seems to just be cat pics and victimhood. All the libs are back on X now though so I can probably just delete this app. Sorry for ruining your pity party
I believe this is worse actually because we are experiencing this in realtime from the true ENEMIES FROM WITHIN. It’s not a 2 hour surprise attack, it’s been a, so far, 10 year assault from people who are being very public about how much they truly hate our country and our democratic republic.
My Ex flew (as a commercial pilot) over the twin towers not 15 minutes before the first planes hit. My Ex is narcissistic and a gaslighter. Circle the wagons and make sure you can take care of yourself for the next 6 months!! Things are going to get much worse.
Then don't you think it's more important now than ever to stand by our allies and deject this traitorous son of a b**** and his administration slash want to be regime? Our allies have to know that we the American people still stand with them and the treachery that's in our government does not
I feel worse than 9/11, I feel worse than the early days of c0v1d...This group of henchmen posing as an administration is FAR more dangerous than either of the aforementioned. We lost so many folks on 9/11, many more due to the v1ru$, but nothing will compare to what's coming.
There was always a sense things could go back to how they were or at least improve. There was the safety of systems, structures, rules, laws, elections. When they are taken away you know it can never be the same
Where 9/11 brought the country together, C0v1d and the domestic terrorist organization posing as the "gop" tore the country apart. There is no going back. We must destroy what is destroying us before EVERYONE anti-maga is jailed or in concentration camps.
Some of us knew that Trump was Putin's corrupt little bitch as far back as 2015 or before. For those just realizing the true extent of corruption and treason of Trump/Putin and their Russian mob allies, it'll be a shock to realize just how incredibly evil, treasonous and "Kompromat" Trump truly is.
Yup, this. We-- or at least I-- also didn't expect the complete surrender and ultimate complicity of the corporate media, which have become collectively our Vichy France.
2025 is different when you see it's your own side flying the planes this time.
And you realise the only reaction will come from people who have no power.
We can still win, even though the terrorists are currently running the White House.
Some bodies cannot handle the vaccines and have a reaction to the vaccines! Herd immunity is for a reason! Science could not care what you believe in for the win. People with medication you need a TB test before you start should be a number to watch in the medical community.
I grew up in an unstable home with an alcoholic father, my mom split without notice and my brother and his friends would do meth all day and night. I feel like I'm 15 again. I felt that feeling for the first time in 40 years last week.
Damn. 100% nailed it, bravo. This is why I’m begging folks to watch the “Dark Gothic MAGA” video & the Behind the Bastards eps. about Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel, & to up look at the work of https://electiontruth.bsky.social so folks know that votes were hacked & this is all part of a technofascist agenda
That’s just folklore. At the very least, you need large-scale protests, a 24/7 presence in front of Congress, and unlimited strikes. Resistance isn’t a casual Sunday activity.
9/11 was an inside job (see 9/11 Architects & Engineers) by Cheney/Bush/Israel to get free reign to attack 7 countries in 5 years, an Israel/Pentagon plan. So far they destroyed or broke up Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Lebanon. Last is Iran that Israel wants US to attack. Stop the madness.
Where are the voices of the celebrities now? Rich & influential but silent. Why are they not shouting from every platform, at every news outlet, rallying people to fight against what is happening. Where are you now that we need you? #waragainstwomen #waragainstLGBQT #waragainstPOC #wearebeingerased
And the way Trump is riling up the Middle East and encouraging Israel to claim supremacy over Palestine and ethnically cleanse Gaza so he can build condos is going to result in another 9/11 attack on the U. S.
Now, if we can only unify progressives the same way we might have a chance. There are currently way too many progressives fighting amongst themselves now to make a successful challenge against the Nazis.
I think maybe you are the ones who restke the plane from the terrorists and crash into the field. You will only win by being prepared to lay diwn your life in the fight. There is no bloodless coup unless people just give up.
Ever since the election, it has felt like the calm before a storm, perhaps a feeling similar to the feeling I had in the Sound of Music when the Von Trap family was escaping from the Nazis.
In 2016, I didn't like trumps voters,but I despised him. Now, in 2024, I dislike trump and despise his voters. In 2016, I felt they were misled, but this time around, they knew what he was and celebrated it.
Sorry to be blunt, but I think if these people were "misled," then it either took a special kind of stupid, malevolent intent, or maybe a little of both, to not see what was actually in front of them.
I'm with ya'. Just trying to be at least a little generous. Yeah, they were racist stupid assholes in 2016, but 2024 voters are a different kind of racist-stupid-asshole.
Please don't just share on this forum. Tell your reps in DC what you think. Resist. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
I agree completely! I wasn’t one who said I was gonna leave the country in 2016, but it’s different now and I believe I will.
I just can’t be complicit in this catastrophe, nor do I want to see my beloved country crumble into autocracy
I’ll fight every minute that I’m here, but I just don’t know…
I was working at Morgan Stanley in the South Tower. And as a born and bred New Yorker to Puerto Rican parents, all I can say is that when this happened I didn't feel like a significant portion of the country were rooting for my demise at the hands of a dictator. This is much worse.
We knew it would be awful Mia, but I honestly didn’t expect ‘Musk and Doge’, everyone including the media capitulating, and the entire dismantlement of our government. All in under a month. 😣
Anyone noticing searches getting smaller and smaller on the Internet? 4 sellers for shopping(Amzn WM,Temu,eBay), last night I searched bird flu and 80 percent results were only to CDC, and that's using a VPN. It's been happening the last few months. X/Meta and now reducing going to R media.🤔🤬
A lot was planned imo but very poorly. The misunderstanding about programming databases that are so easily ID'ed shows their missteps.
I'm reading 'Character Limit' about twitters birth and Elon's takeover and it's doing a good job of explaining how these tech bros compete and collaborate.
I actually read the 920 pages of the Project 2025 doc.
It seems for all the talk, many didn't.
They explicitly told you all this was coming.
Democracy gone with barely a whimper.
As an Aussie I can barely believe what I'm seeing.
Without Musk this also never would have happened the way it is happening now. Trump was a danger on its own but the added technocratic vision of Musk...well..and Vance..and Thiel...that changes things to a degree that you have really to take care not to lose it all for good.
It is just like 1959 Cuba all over again. Castro dismantled the government in weeks. I was not born yet, but my parents lived thru it and my 85 yr old mom is terrified seeing it again in her life time. Asking why aren’t Americans doing something. Very scary.
This is what’s infuriating about the Cubans who voted for him and are like a cult in their support of him. They claim to love this country but voted for someone who is doing the same to the U.S. as Castro did to Cuba. It’s a complete betrayal.
I know quiet a few of them. Many do not speak English well, their main source of information are breteros like Otaola and they will never admit that they made a wrong decision. At least not before it’s too late.
This is so true. I was there & lived through it. Castro got on TV with a big gold cross around his neck. Until the day he took it off & declared this is now a Marxist-Leninist country. Watch Trump/Musk take over media from us. No more First Amendment or Constitution. Nightmare is now reality.
We are scared too.
More than 50% of Cuban Americans in FL live in Miami-Dade Co. They were asked in 2024 by FUI Cuba poll for how they plan to vote.
Results:
68% in Miami-Dade County said Trump
23% said VP Harris
5% undecided
Didn't the majority of Florida's Cuban American voters want Trump?
Thank you. It was just part of a statement I heard and never followed up on until I read your post. You got me to delve a bit further and I thank you for the nudge.
When the Nazis took power and gutted the Weimar era civil service in government, they also claimed the need to increase efficiency and to ensure loyalty to the nazi party. They did it through the law for the restoration of the professional civil service.
American men watched the Superbowl with fervour, like heroin.
While Herr Musk and his teenage ninjas were robbing the Treasury. Not a peep.
For all the soaring rhetoric about their right to bear arms: with 600,000,000 guns and 170,000,000 men: the USA accepted Fascism without a bullet fired.
Your last statement was so profound that it gave me pause. I hope we all learn how fragile and delicate our democracy is when you turn your back and take it for granted
Then you weren't paying attention . They spelled it out and even printed a pamphlet at the RNC they hosted btw. This has been coming since trump was given attention for a conspiracy theory. It was so obvious. And ppl act shocked . Smh I don't even know what to say to ppl anymore .
So many checks and balances sustaining our Democratic Republic have been weakened and strangled by money and fear. Easily pushed over. The free press has failed because their owners protect their profits. Congressional Republicans have no principles because of money and fear of losing their seats.
This is 10,000 9/11's Plus the permanent destruction of 80 years worth of diplomacy, statesmanship, competence and expertise in government. It's an insult to the entire country to compare what's happening now to 9/11. OBL was a choirboy compared to the buffonish mobsters running things now.
Seeing the second plane showed us all that it was 100% intentional. Back then, we ALL realized it was intentional.
This feels worse. Because we have an entire faction of citizens cheering this 💩 on & are willing to kill their brothers &sisters to prove their loyalty to the second plane's pilot.
I agree. It's worse though. I'm in Europe and when I saw the planes strike I knew there would be a unified reaction with the US. Now I think we're preparing for a world where we're not allies anymore. That's a bigger shift.
I remember 2016 and stayed up until 3 watching him win. I cried all the next day, and was told I was ridiculous. (Trump had bankrupted a family friend during his Atlantic City casino era.) I know the Supreme Court guardrails are off. Working hard but hanging by my nails over the volcano.
I didn't follow the situation in 2016 at all. I actually occasionally heard some good things about him and had no reason to doubt them (weird, because I always knew that Republicans are garbage).
If it was so bad back in 2016, it looks like people grew stronger for the moment since then.
I hear you. First it was shock, then sadness, then helplessness, and then, ANGER. I’ve been feeling all the same things since the attack on our government by muskrat and trump started. These traitors in the house and the senate who are all in on this coup, are hostile enemies of the United States.
We have power and resources we didn't have then.
1. We supply the new commodity, data. (look what they did for oil)
2. We have full access to the mass communication source for the first time in history.
I don’t, but that’s good to hear. You’ve got the following to do it.
I just see way too many people on here only posting memes of what the last few weeks feel like and, yeah, I get that it sucks, but it feels too much like doomerism.
Totally get that. For me, though, it's important to connect with other individuals as I continue the slow but steady work that's being done offline, or at least mostly out of public view.
Actually, I think it was far worse than anybody realized at the time because we watched the twin towers be demolished, and then we saw building seven be demolished. It took several years for people to put together the testimony of eyewitnesses and the evidence.
Take heart ❤️. People are fighting everyday. I have been adding Republican and white Christian nationalists who sexually abuse and in some cases murder their victims. John Bonifaz has a legitimate Impeach Trump Again Now. Election Truth Alliance filing suits in states for rampant voter fraud
I beg to disagree because this is what Trump wants from you - give up!

I have had this sense of foreboding since Trump was elected and I can't change my feeling and I can't shake it off. I wake up in the middle of the night and I feel it. It seems to be a part of me now. I haven't felt this sense of dread for such a long time, ever. Does anyone else share this feeling?
Bartending Alb, NM airport. Watched 2nd plane hit on MSNBC live. Saw runways fill with planes. Saw thousands of scared, horrified passengers flood off planes. Airport closed and I was home be 11 or so.
It’s absolutely worse than I felt on 9/11. Terrorist could not do the damage that DT, EM, & their regime is inflicting on our country each day. That being said, they’re domestic terrorists & should be treated & punished as such. When the day of reckoning comes, there should be absolutely no mercy!
Hope you got the reference. With all these nazis running around lately, I was reminded of the dentist scene in Marathon Man. Look it up if you're not familiar. A classic. But only AFTER you've seen the dentist.
Imagine you're being hunted down by nazis cuz you have a sack of stolen nazi diamonds. You go to the dentist, only to find that your regular dentist has suddenly been replaced by a man with a German accent who, while brusquely maneuvering dental tools in your mouth, keeps asking you.
"Is it safe?"
This is far more serious than 9/11.
9/11 was never a threat to American democracy or coherence of Western Alliances forged on the graves of tens of millions of people.
9/11 is a picnic compared to this. This is worse by orders of magnitude by any metric. The loss of life alone will eclipse 9/11, not to mention the economic havoc and our loss of standing and trust in the world. Comparisons to 9/11 are ludicrous and only diminish the seriousness of this.

Yet it wasn't until the South Tower fell, that I really recognized the scale of the tragedy.
This feels like the South Tower just fell.
Now waiting for the North Tower to follow.

The idea was sound, not the execution.

Americans have lied to themselves for years about the Republican Party!
What was it about a guy that lied 350,000 times that Americans needed to re-elect him ?
From 1968 to Fascism via the Republican Party, is well documented.
Enjoy Fascism.

In plain sight, Trump and Musk are following Hitler's playbook.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
Some of us understood that it was an inside job (we had read the PNAC Report), most did not.
I just can’t be complicit in this catastrophe, nor do I want to see my beloved country crumble into autocracy
I’ll fight every minute that I’m here, but I just don’t know…

Our government at this time is enemy #1 of the American people.
Some people are either too lazy or too stupid to notice.
If it was so bad back in 2016, it looks like people grew stronger for the moment since then.
Time to tell
ELON and DICTATOR DONNY
WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!
America is fighting back.
1. We supply the new commodity, data. (look what they did for oil)
2. We have full access to the mass communication source for the first time in history.
We can stop the disaster by using both to secure our vote.

This is a coup
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/17/trump-musk-government-cost-cutting-coup
On the 6th, I was fighting rage, bc it had been no secret.
Today..I went to the dentist.
"Is it safe?"
Tell me why everyone is so shocked when another rug gets pulled, and we fall on our asses in disbelief?
We're going to suffer as we learn that we were the dumb fucks.
How the hell did we stay so unprepared after Trump's first insurrection?
9/11 was never a threat to American democracy or coherence of Western Alliances forged on the graves of tens of millions of people.
THIS IS FAR MORE SERIOUS.
