I was 19 on 9/11, almost 34 now, and it's getting really hard to remember the world before 9/11, before DHS and "omg muslims are going to conquer the world" chicken littleing.

From historical accounts, some different but not as much as you probably think. People still hated Muslims because of Iran and the I/P show. Russia wasn't a threat but that's only because they collapsed after 45 years of being America's Enemy #1. Ebola was still a scare drug. People hated gay people, etc. Really in a hypothetical 9/11-free world I'd expect a lot of the same stuff to happen anyway. Maybe we don't invade Afghanistan, and maybe you don't take off your shoes at the airport security line, but Bush was planning an Iraq invasion from basically the moment he entered office.

STAC Goat posted:The other night I was with a bunch of conservative relatives watching some political thing or another and even they started cracking up when I questioned how the hell Ted Cruz's fearmongering of "mandated abortions and gay marriage" and "repeal of the second amendment" would work. Because Cruz was pushing hard on the whole "if Scalia is replaced by a liberal the world ends" and it was beyond the pale. Luckily every conservative in the room agreed which helped reaffirm some of my faith in humanity. The other day I was on Dave Foley's twitter, and he said something to the effect of "I miss the days when I simply disagreed with Republicans". Too true.

From what I remember, it didn't have any arguments that I hadn't already heard. I did find his issues with anti colonulaism a bit strange. I guess he sees the word and thinks America.

You're definitely right that Muslims were still collectively seen as backward barbarians who were equally zealous and decadent, but it's not like the image-flip that gays had couldn't happen to Muslims. There's more than enough ideological similarities between conservative Muslims and the Republicans that cultural differences can be tolerated if not accepted. Lest we forget, Anwar al-Awlaki was an outspoken supporter of Bush during the 2000 campaign.

As I understand Muslims were one of the few reliably Republican minority groups before 9/11 really triggered the Islamophobia. Even Iran wasn't a big strike against, since the ones here had mostly fled the revolution anyway so it was like Cuban-Americans, and the rest were pretty handily framed as being under evil leaders since Saddam, Qaddafi, etc were fairly secular strongman types.

The evangelical right allied with Catholics starting in the 1970s using abortion as a wedge issue, IIRC. So right wing Protestants end up having to at least pay lip service to the Pope to avoid alienating Catholics.
