"SNIP..........

Trump winning a second time was like watching the second plane hit the WTC on 9/11.

............SNIP"

[claudette]

1. OMG - graphically true

the end of our country.

[Wild blueberry]

2. Exactly

[Kali]

3. We, and a lot of the world

Came together for a few minutes after that. Time will tell if anything good comes of this terror.

[nikatnyte]

4. Perfect analogy

Yep, that's how I felt.

[AZ8theist]

33. Not exactly.

Dotards election was like BEING IN THE SECOND TOWER.

Not just watching it.......

[FirstLight]

39. Yeah...

And the indeterminate time between the plane hitting the tower and its collapse is what we're about to live through...

😦

[KPN]

5. Yes! Holy cow ... exactly!👍

[COL Mustard]

6. Yeah, I felt really depressed on Wednesday.

I'm not over it, but I've accepted it as fact and am going to move forward as best I can.

I work for the Fed Gov, in a job that may be Schedule F'd, so we'll see. At least I'm retirement eligible. I feel for my younger colleagues who aren't. I'm not doing anything precipitous, but I could go at any time.

At least (as of now) the monster can't stay beyond Jan. 20, 2029.

[calimary]

14. It's now Friday and I'm STILL depressed.

I know I have to snap out of it, though, cuz it won’t be possible to hide for four whole years.

[Different Drummer]

19. "At least (as of now) the monster can't stay beyond Jan. 20, 2029."

Give it time. If he can figure out a way to circumvent the 22nd Amendment, he will.

31. The Felon:

"Hold my hamberder and watch!"

(or is it "hold my diet Coke..."??)

[Mr.Bill]

7. Graphically true,

except half of the voting public didn't vote for it. This wound was self-inflicted.

[cate94]

8. So true!

[TommieMommy]

9. OMG 😳 yes that punch in the gut feeling that doesn't go away

[Martin68]

10. An apt comparison.

[Intractable]

11. It was when the second plane hit that we knew it wasn't an accident, wasn't some mistake.

Half of America wants the fascism, chaos, and loss of gov't services. Some of them think it will be fun.

[Different Drummer]

18. "Some of them think it will be fun."

They are sick if that's what they think. Do they not realize the whole country--including them--will suffer?!

[Intractable]

21. We know they are sick -- that the country is inflicted with a kind of mass psychosis.

"Some people want to watch the world burn." -- Alfred, The Dark Knight

Not all of them want to see the world destroyed. Many just want to own the libs, and are willing to suffer as long as the people they hate (women, POC, LGBTQ+, immigrant) suffer.

They want to own the libs because they can't solve their own problems, and want to tear down anyone who dare try.

[H2O Man]

12. Recommended!

Absolutely!

[Ysabel]

13. yeah...

and then Dumbya reading a book upside down / I wanted to knock it upside his head...

[Mollyann]

27. What is it

About these two dunces and upside down books/Bibles?

[MagickMuffin]

15. I see it as a continuation of January 6th

Either analogy works!

[madamesilverspurs]

16. Indeed.

On that awful, awful day Americans all stood together in shock and horror and mourning. The stunning difference today is that half of Americans are rejoicing, and that's a profoundly painful dichotomy.


.

[Different Drummer]

17. Totally agree.

[DesertRain]

20. As someone who watched the WTC collapse

from a rooftop on the Lower East Side, this is an awful analogy - and accurate.

[applegrove]

22. So sorry.

[Hekate]

23. Well, yes. One plane was a horrific accident -- but two was a deliberate act of war. nt

[ECL213]

24. That would have been a good campaign meme...

Voting for Trump is Like Voting for the Second Plan to Hit the World Trade Center.

[Biophilic]

25. Yes! Yes it was exactly. The utter disbelief coupled with knowing it was actually happening.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget that morning, watching it on tv. I felt the same way reading that trump had won; utter disbelief and absolute horror at what was happening.

[returnee]

26. This time it was a Russian plane. (no text)

[LuckyLib]

28. My husband is a commercial airline pilot.

When the first plane hit, he said, “That’s not a private plane, and it was not an accident. The pilots were either incapacitated or dead.”

[applegrove]

29. I was getting ready for work in Halifax, Nova Scotia

when I turned on CNN. The first plane had hit. They thought in was a single engine plane or something small like that. I called my dad in Ottawa. I was on the phone with him when the second plane hit. I knew it was terrorism then but thought it was the PLO. Very sad, stressful time.

[ananda]

30. Yep, it took the whole building down...

just like Trump and his Nazis will take the whole country down.

[republianmushroom]

32. Yup

[quakerboy]

34. I'm sorry

This is worse. There will likely be more death and destruction, not to mention suffering from this than that.

[LisaM]

37. Of course it's worse in the long run.

But don't forget that when people watched the plane hit, everyone thought that the air was full of planes on their way to crash into buildings (and in fact there were two more to come). I remember that morning. By the time I woke up on the West Coast all the planes were grounded, but even so, the first bit of news we heard was that there were planes all over the country heading into buildings. So I think the OP is accurate. Everyone was expecting a full day of horror and destruction.

[NNadir]

35. Worse.

[LisaM]

36. Wow, that is spot on.

I am going to completely steal that.

[Texin]

38. Wow. That's the best analogy I've ever heard.
