My only emotion around it is basically just how the neolib and neocon establishment handled the, uh, aftermath. The overall war frenzy it kicked off is probably the main reason 9/11 truther theories is the most common conspiracy theory imo (iirc something like a quarter of americans have doubts about the official version of it), because it's so hard to believe something that was so perfect in every way for the neocon/neolib establishment was just the US sleeping at the switch. Watching the societal change happen as a teen was horrifying truth be told (esp. growing up in a middle eastern, muslim community). After 16 years of war on terror propaganda, Trump is starting to feel more like a culmination (or a step towards it) than an aberration.

Incidentally this year's NDAA is even bigger than the increase Trump wanted. Of course this means more toys that the military will want to take on a ride. And american media has been way, way into ramping up its traditional saber rattling against a few select countries.
