On the evening of September 11th, an engineer rushed to Ground Zero to help find victims; a financial worker made a fateful decision to evacuate the World Trade Center moments before the towers fell.Just 49% of Americans see the United States as safer from terrorism than it was before the terrorist attacks ofForty-one percent instead say the United States has become less safe since 9/11, reflecting both renewed partisan divisions and the tumultuous withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan.

Specifically, compared with 2011, the sense that the country is safer from terrorism now than it was before 9/11 is down 28 percentage points among Republicans, to 41%, compared with a slight 9-point decrease among Democrats, to 57%. It's down 12 points among independents, to 52%.These patterns are mirrored in terms of political ideology, with 59% of moderates and 55% of liberals currently seeing improved safety, versus just 39% of conservatives.

Clearly people are not paying attention.

Fake polls fake news

As a former DHS employee I think we are getting a bit complacent and getting too relaxed. I hope I’m wrong.

Funny how Americans are still worried about terrorism from abroad. I'm more scared of the man with a army worth a guns down the street. Those the ones we should be worried about. How many terror attracts have we had since 9/11? And how many of those were from overseas? 🤷🏽‍♂️

POTUS Coward

I say we occupy more sovereign nations. Let’s start with Saudi Arabia 🤝 Cuz we care about women’s rights, right? That’s the whole reason we’re there, right? Not for oil or mineral extraction, right? 🙄

Is that foreign terrorists or American terrorists

Maybe because we had a terrorist attack on the capital THIS YEAR and the planners and instigators are still stirring up their base. Why did you leave that out of your article?

That’s because A decade ago Osama Bin Laden was captured and killed May 2011. People felt relief when that happened. Show us the numbers for each year. For example 2009, 2014, 2018.

Pentagon, non-elected Generals like Fred Flinstone Milley, have been lying to our troops and American People.

The Corrupt Generals on TV have been telling the Americans “we are progressing “ for 20 years. Look up the tapes. They are the liars snd killers of our troops

It is difficult to be an American. Always living in fear that one day, a victim of our brutal empire will react and make us pay for the heinous acts of terrorism we commit so frequently around the world.

Je ne dirais pas ça comme ça. L'être humain est dangereusement rusé, audacieux et parle le même langage. La vie ne suit pas des itinéraires prédéterminés. Et si vous ne me croyez pas. J'ai peur que tu vérifies.

Now do 1/6.

Well yeah, over the last couple years we’ve shown the world how utterly stupid we are. First we elect a washed out reality tv host as president, then many decide he’s some savior sent by God. Now right is wrong, up is down…We really are doomed

You mean like the covid going around?

Percent actually sounds high to me There was a time when government, law and society didn’t tolerate people breaking laws and provoking hate. Now it’s headlines in the news and a smack on the hand for them.

That's because we now have homegrown terrorists some right here in congress. Then there's the proud boys, Qanon. We won't be safe until we eliminate trumpism.

With all the events of the last couple of weeks, I am surprised it’s 49%.

If you want to end terrorism then give women a voice. UNProtectRightsOfAfgWomen And please make this hashtag trending in support of the Afghan women

Trump frees 5000 terrorist including the one running the Afghan government. This had nothing to do with Biden. Ex President wacko doing his foreign policy plan.

The enemy within is more dangerous than al Qaeda ever was.

That's what fear mongering does

You can give people all the guns they want, but it is not really going to protect them. Others will just assume they are packing and won't wait for anyone to get ready.

Expending resources to counteract the persistent threat has never worked. The perceived threat and response has always been disproportional.

The biggest threat we have is the overwhelming crime in our cities
