Well, you can see what “patriotism” leads to. There’s a reason it only lasted two years. The people in charge used that to take away rights from Americans and the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in other countries because they thought their country was so much better than anyone else and could do anything they wanted. We certainly don’t want that to ever happen again.
I think what you really miss is the comradery and sense of community you felt, presumably because you aren’t Muslim. And that’s probably never coming back. If you can’t get everybody to agree to common sense gun control laws to save elementary school students, and you can’t get everybody to put a piece of cloth over their face to slow down a deadly pandemic, you’re probably not going to get them to do anything to help out their fellow Americans.
IIN That I wish America was still as patriotic as it was right after 9/11?
