9/11 was an attack on our democracy. Flight 93 was headed for the U.S. Capitol, and if not for the brave actions of those on board, it's very possible the building would've been a smoking crater. Instead, it crashed in a field ~20 minutes from DC, & all 40 passengers & crew died. https://twitter.com/Acosta/status/1387516729828548618

The terrorist attacks of 9/11 also successfully targeted the Pentagon - a prominent global symbol of our democracy's military might. The plane smashing into the side of the Pentagon killed the 59 passengers & crew on board the aircraft as well as 125 people inside the Pentagon.

President John F. Kennedy was also literally assassinated.

Sorry, I forgot a few things here. Lincoln was assassinated a few days after Lee surrendered to Grant (though a few Confederate generals held out for a couple more months). Garfield, McKinley, & JFK were all assassinated. Teddy Roosevelt was shot. Reagan was shot & almost died.

The Oklahoma City bombing was a domestic terrorist attack willfully targeting a federal government building, and it killed 168 people.

The Capitol riot was very bad. Let's get serious about American history tho.

The Weather Underground bombed the Capitol in 1971.

The May 19th Communist Organization bombed the Capitol in 1983.

Pearl Harbor.
