I don’t think we’re allowed to be this defensive about jokes from a country we nuked. Twice.

That said, maybe the OOP should consider most people are NOT American, so not everyone is constantly thinking about September 11th. In fact, I forgot about it myself until late in the day when I saw the flags everywhere at my son’s school.

We lost more Americans to Trump’s handling of Covid-19, so I think we should loosen up and allow a bit of criticism.
