    If 9/11 happened today half of Republicans on Twitter would be blaming Secretary Buttigieg before the second plane hit.

      Fun fact: I had a cousin in the second tower on 9/11. They told everyone in his office to remain calm and he was just like “nope” and got the fuck out

        It’s rather important to remain calm in emergencies.

        Particularly when noping the fuck out- I’m glad your cousin made it out.

          I think they made the “nope” decision as a group (or at least his team). I was young when it happened and honestly haven’t brought it up with him since. I figure it’s kind of a traumatic thing to just bring up at a family gathering.
