A poll based on my viewing of 9/11 news coverage yesterday

21. Almost a tie between Bush v Gore, Drumphf's Election & J6...

The first two changed the whole direction of our country.
J6 potentially would have (temporarily*) destroyed our Democracy. (*and then the fight to restore it!)


As a born & bred NYC'r who between '80-'81 worked in South Tower 2 73rd flr NE corner (what a glorious view) that when you look at the jet exploding out of that building it was a floor or two "above us" (the NYS office moved out waaaay before that) - so I know what that drop looked like for those trapped at that area making an unfathomable choice; but I still rank the events above above this.
It was unbelievably horrifying, and Surreal!

Yes, 9-11 did change the country seriously for certain things security related issues. It did make life difficult, even deadly for the ?98+% of moderate Muslins living their lives here, and those perceived to be so.

But the above changed so much more imho.

I'd say, though, that still the assassination of Sen RFK truly altered the direction of our country in uncountable ways that still echo today.
