its time for me to repost, again, one of my all-time favorite YouTube videos: a compilation of clips from the 2004 Republican National Convention, which gives some idea of how that so-called unity was used to crush anyone who dared to hold an anti-war opinion.
(In case you forgot, the RNC was held in NYC that year in a shameless effort to exploit 9/11.)

Meanwhile, people keep posting their "Never forget" memes all over social media, like that is even possible.
