    You certainly have a point that doesn’t deserve to be downvoted like that.

    Are you New Yorkian, by any chance?

      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 worst.

      Comparing that to Trump’s fascist takeover is apropos.
