    I took the analogy not as “Trump equals terrorism and death” but that Trump’s attack on the rule of law and the Constitution is at least as big of a threat and should be met with an equally vigorous response by a united United States. The cartoonist could have done it in the style of the Pearl Harbor attack and it would have achieved the same metaphor, though probably wouldn’t have had the same gut-punch effect.

    Point is it should be a lightning rod for America to act. Sad that it is not.

    Also, not condoning the wars that followed 9/11 and the Patriot act and all of the other bullshit we got because of it.
