As we approach the 20th anniversary of 9/11, hating on America is considered “hip” and “trendy” among young people that make up generation Z and the woke left. So it was a shock for them to view resurfaced patriotic clips produced by Disney Channel in the wake of 9/11. The collection of 9/11 tribute videos feature then-popular Disney stars like Shia LaBeouf, Hilary Duff, and more.
Minds were blown across the internet when they saw these wildly popular millennial stars show off their pride in America.
Disney Channel Stars Show Off Their Patriotism In Post 9/11 Videos
Many young people today have no idea that directly after the September 11 terrorist attacks, Americans everywhere united behind our flag.
At the time, Disney Channel stars like Melissa Joan Hart, Hilary Duff, and Beverly Mitchell opened up about their love for America in some PSAs for the popular children’s network.

Laura Bush Shows Her Love For America In This 9/11 Tribute Video
Even then-First Lady Laura Bush got in on the action for Disney Channel, which certainly would not feature a conservative First Lady in ads these days.

Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf, who would go on to star in Transformers and Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, even penned a poem about how much he loves his country.
The person who dug up the clip of LaBeouf was clearly not a fan of his patriotic poem, however.

In fact, the person who posted the videos to Twitter seemed to think that these patriotic clips were an elaborate ruse by Disney to brainwash kids into supporting Congress’s Authorization of Military Force in response to the 9/11 attacks.
Clearly, this person can’t stand to see anyone praising America and showing off their love for their country.

Social Media Users React To Disney 9/11 Tribute Videos
Many modern social media users were offended by this show of patriotism from Disney Channel stars.
“’It’s important to talk about 9/11,'” one user commented. “Okay, then! Let’s talk about how 9/11 is a direct result of America’s funding of Mujahadeen fighters in Afghanistan against the USSR, who later ended up forming the Taliban!”
“I remember this. I felt like I woke up one day on another planet surrounded by reactionary zombies. It was terrifying,” another user added. “I kept hoping to wake up from it &it never happened. I stopped recognizing many of my friends &my family couldnt understand why I went from outgoing to depressed.”

“WHAT IS THISSS,” tweeted someone else who goes by the username Antifa Zoomer. “The footage I’ve seen of post-9/11 patriotism in the early to mid-2000s is WILD to me. I’m very thankful that I was too young to know what was going on in that insane time period.”
It’s sad that we live in a time now where Hollywood stars would never publicly show their patriotism in the way that these stars did post-9/11.
In the nearly twenty years since the September 11 terrorist attack, America has truly gone downhill when it comes to patriotism in a way that we never could have seen coming back in 2001.
