The article reflects on the erosion of American democratic norms since the 9/11 attacks, particularly in how national security policies have been misused. It reports a significant regression in procedural integrity and accountability, especially under Donald Trump's presidency, framing it as a 'perversification' of previous policies from the war on terror era. Highlighting state-sponsored racism as a persistent issue, the article notes how the aftermath of 9/11 enabled racial and ethnic discrimination, particularly targeting Muslim Americans, thus demonstrating a troubling continuation of anti-democratic trends.
The response to 9/11 unleashed government policies of racial and ethnic discrimination, with Muslim Americans targeted and civil liberties disregarded.
The so-called 'perversification' of war-on-terror law under Trump has escalated anti-democratic policies that threaten the integrity of American democracy.
