Things like that happened, we don't have to imagine it. Also 9/11 - a terrorist attack - is not analogous to a mass protest movement. Mass protests have taken place in the US, including violent ones and prominent contemporary voices have been both openly supportive and critical of them.

I mean, what if these prominent contemporary voices support 911?

Again, 9/11 was not a mass protest movement.

One of the leaders of an actual US separatist movement has schools and streets named after him.

Multiple prominent evangelical leaders have repeatedly claimed that 9/11 was God's judgement for social liberalism, and none of them lost any stature. One of them, Robert Jeffress, is currently a prominent figure in the Trumpist movement.
They don't. Name one who does.
