Summary

This quote suggests that in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks in the United States, there was a wave of both intense suffering and patriotism. The Bush administration cleverly capitalized on this sentiment by labeling those who opposed their policies as unpatriotic or even treasonous. This implies that dissenting voices were marginalized or silenced through the manipulation of public opinion and the exploitation of nationalistic fervor.
