Make Americans angry enough to forget they are against this and Trump lied about “no new wars” and $20 / gallon gas

9/11 didn’t just make people support war in the Middle East, it also made them support a whole bunch of surveillance within the USA under the guise of “preventing another 9/11 by catching the terrorist activity before they hurt anyone.” Of course, they’ve used this increased surveillance against dissidents far more than to stop terrorists. If there was a “terrorist attack” on USA soil again, then the GOP and congress would absolutely jump on the opportunity to enact broad voter id laws, facial recognition software, and age/id verification online laws while claiming its to protect “terrorist immigrants from voting in elections and tracking terrorists irl and online.” They would probably also use it to justify even more intense ICE operations and harassment, painting anyone who goes against the Trump admin and his gestapo force as terrorists or terrorist sympathizers. They’re already trying to do all of this, they just lack broad public support, but a false flag operation might be how they try to gain that support
