I’m guessing “Stop raising, arming and abandoning death squads all over the world for your own purposes” doesn’t make the list. No, when a tatted up nazi shouts “Slava Ukrani” before opening fire on a Russian-American cultural center or something, it’ll be the fault of those damn hispanics.

    I gotta say, it speaks to the SEO driven nature of these headlines that they’re running back to “9/11” and not any of the more recent events that have happened since. No call back to the Baltimore riots or the “stolen election” of 2020 or even COVID. Its just so dated. Like warning about the next Kennedy Assassination in 1986.

      9/11 probably still focus tests as the most memorable event likely to evoke strong feelings to the average american. My father (who became american later in life) has half his office decked out in 9/11 memorabilia. Don’t even get me started on his truck stickers.
