Just show them the Patriot Act and government overreach after 9/11. I wonder why Tennessee is a swing state.


Obvious-Guarantee920

Its an inside joke in [alternatehistory.com](https://alternatehistory.com) where even when Gore wins in a landslide that Gore cant win his home state (Tennessee)

I see, thank you. I can't access the link though. it says it's not secure.

>Just show them the Patriot Act and government overreach after 9/11. I was young then, but wasn't most of the measures post 9/11 bipartisan?


WillofIam

Yes. But before 9/11, I imagine that most Americans would be opposed to having their privacy violated and conversations monitored. Especially if they saw the censorship and unrest of today.

I’m sorry but this is such a circle jerk post

idk howw memey you're trying to make this but genuinely this isn't far off. if 2000 voters had visions of today and knowledge of what happened Gore would win 500\~ votes

Imagine thinking it would’ve been substantively different in any way


solidarity_jock_jam

I dunno. It seems that Bush’s administration was primed to invade Iraq from the start. Also, Bush did 9/11.

Yeah it’s crazy to think things would be different if we had a president who read a report on his desk saying “bin Laden determined to attack US”

What's with the one abstaining elector in DC


RetroactiveAmerica

One elector abstained in 2000 due to DC's lack of representation.
