Logically assume whatever conclusion you want, Bernie obviously got people all riled up for nothing, there were some legit criticisms of his politics, and he lost. How is Krugman proven wrong?
It's cool that he ran and there's no way he could have foreseen that Trump would a) win b) be as popular as he now seems to be but in hindsight it all looks fucked up

Overall, Americans took 9/11 pretty calmly. Notably, there wasn't a mass outbreak of anti-Muslim sentiment and violence, which could all too easily have happened.
