As many of you know, the anniversary of the unfortunate 9/11 event is around the corner, and like every year, authorities and many Americans remember it, as it has certainly been one of the most tragic situations the country has gone through. However, it seems people aren’t feeling those messages this year, especially in Florida. While the government has already put up signs to mark the date, many believe the “United We Stand” message is a bit outdated, especially given how the current administration keeps dividing the country.
Reddit user Roadkill_Gaming shared a picture of a sign that is appearing on the Florida highways saying, “United We Stand. Never Forget. 9-11-01.” This is certainly expected, as this is an important date for all Americans to remember, and in normal circumstances, people commemorate it in some way.
Still, it seems that those in Florida are not feeling the motto. After seeing the sign, several people said it feels a bit ironic that authorities are using these messages, especially now, given the state of the country. Some even threw Trump’s name into the mix, claiming that he is mostly responsible for everything that is happening and that, instead of being a united country, it keeps getting divided with each passing day.
Florida Believes The ‘United We Stand’ Motto Is Outdated
After many Floridians saw the message on the highway, they shared some messages on Reddit, and not of the hopeful kind. The majority were aimed at Trump and many other authorities, as locals believe that the country is getting torn apart daily, with more divisions between communities appearing.
“United We Stand. In Florida. How rich.“
“United We Stand. What happened to that?“
Still, a few other citizens focused on the commemorating part, saying we’ll still honor what happened that day, regardless of how the country feels right now.
“Gonna do my stair climb Friday with the fire department.“
Yet, most comments and the consensus suggest people aren’t feeling these hopeful messages this year. On top of that, it seems Trump just lied by saying two firemen carried him during the incident, which, according to the facts, he wasn’t even around the WTC at the time.
In any case, people are a bit sour on these messages today, especially after Trump keeps making things up and creating more divisions between people instead of, as the motto says, standing united.
