    Conservatives are so ready to forget 9/11. Libs want to cling to it more because they’re not finished with being 2004 Republicans. It’s like having an old piece of furniture around from the 1800s that your great grandparents churned butter in or something. It has very little use today but you keep it around because your elderly aunts will start crying at Thanksgiving if you get rid of it. The most recent use case for never forgetting was in NYC to use against Mamdani. That’s it. That’s all it’s really good for. It was also wielded by a Demcorat.

    Conservatives would much rather forget 9/11 and replace it with Charlie Kirk day. That has more political use for them and libs are doing all the work of making it useful. 9/11 just doesn’t have much value. They got their war on Islam, their racism became the mainstream opinion on Muslims. They got their security state. They don’t really care about the lives lost there just like they don’t care about kids being shot in a high school while Charlie Kirk was staining the sidewalk. The people who died in 9/11 were only useful as a cudgel and to drum up support for war. The kids who die in school shootings don’t offer any value and can only hurt conservatives. That’s why they always make it about the shooter and how the shooter is a radical leftist, ethnic minority, or trans. Charlie was doing it when he got shot. That’s the part that’s useful to them.
