    Not the person you replied to, but I’m a New Yorker. I lived near the city on 9/11. My friends lost family members. My dad was across the street from the towers and thankfully made it out alive.

    I’ve downvoted every single 9/11 joke I’ve ever seen. I’ve personally shut down people who made 9/11 jokes in real life. It’s not really something to make jokes about.

    But this comic is right. 9/11 was the defining moment of my generation. It changed America for the worse.

    Comparing that to Trump’s fascist takeover is apropos.
