Since America is divided, do you think if we had a national tragedy similar to 9/11 that we would come together as a nation or remain divided?

[sage2021]

After 9/11 American's really pulled together to help everyone. Lots of heartfelt hugs were everywhere. People were doing anything and everything to help wherever help was needed.
I remember seeing people carrying small American flags 🇺🇸 in there hands, and putting them on their houses, they were everywhere.
What do you think it would be like now if America suffered another tragedy? What do you think would happen?

[BeMuse]

Nope. It's time for justice, transparency, and accountability. A false flag will not unite the people. Too many are awake now.

[Kichbazp_]

@BeMuse Yes Please wake up China is Coming... US will shrink like UK in Next 20 years 😎

[BeMuse]

@Kichbazp_ You wish that was what is happening. You'll shit your pants when your entire world changes.

[BeMuse]

Here's lets fly a real image from your country...

[BeMuse]

@sage2021 time to wake up sage... The fake news played you back then just like they are playing Democrats right now.

[MrTaboo]

No, dems have gone to far Marxist to come back together

[OlderAndWiser]

A tragedy now would be an excuse to blame the othr half for the misery.

[RosieMelts]

Are you a “weather forecaster” for the American people, as far as their climatic relationship attitudes and social exchanges goes?

[Sixgunsound]

That does seem to be the trend, doesn’t it?

[OlderAndWiser]

@RosieMelts Just an experienced observer of human behavior and one who is also experienced in politics.

[RosieMelts]

Thank goodness for the exceptions and the changing of trends, specifically the trend setters who will bring variety to the mix.

You’re right btw- that would be a tragedy..

[melanieeeB]

Oh I can already picture that lol that and more hate, people already went off on all muslims after 9/11, even tho it was just the extremists

[KrakenAttackin]

@OlderAndWiser. I was a pilot on Sept 11, I was hired by American Airlines on Sept 8th, 2001. I was told that I would have a class date within two weeks... three days later American airlines are crashing into buildings. I kept my anguish in check as my problems were miniscule compared to the grief of the country.

[OlderAndWiser]

@KrakenAttackin Wow! That's quite a history!

[KrakenAttackin]

@OlderAndWiser. Yeah, it's hard to believe it was so long ago.

[OlderAndWiser]

@KrakenAttackin This weekend, I am spending time wth my best friend. He has known me for 51 years. Nixon was still serving his first term as president when Ken and I met. I understand "a long time ago!"

[KrakenAttackin]

@OlderAndWiser. Outstanding!

[PeteBy]

To be totally honest. Having lived there and know a lot of Americans who have moved here. The USA needs to be dragged, kicking and screaming out of the 1770's.

First point you didn't get independence on July 4th, 1776. Why the hell you celebrate a day that didn't happen I will never know. We granted you independence in September 1783. Still didn't stop us coming back and occupying New York and Washington and indeed. Torching your presidential palace twice. It is indeed called the White House because it was whitewashed because we gutted the damn place and burnt it out.

The US is far from the land of the free so that in your anthem is so far from true. I call the US, North Korea Light.

Pledge of allegiance is a clue to a dictatorship. Who the hell tells a 4 year old to pledge anything to any flag? The Americans do! EVERY DAY!

Taught false history. I remember many Americans asking bizarre questions but 'Isn't the UK near Brazil? or 'Do you celebrate Thanksgiving?'

First and foremost you're not Americans. You're 99.5% illegal immigrants who raped and pillaged your way across a country and virtually wiped out the indigenous peoples. Most of you are European by descent or consequence.

Don't get me started on your constitution which is flawed.

I quote 'A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed'

A law actually passed in 1689 by an English Lord, Sir Willim Blackstone. In England.

If you Americans can't see that there is no need for this amendment any more then this is the reason why you're messed up. It's purpose was to stop the British invading, well try anyway. As stated we came back twice.

Your constitution needs an overhaul. The 2nd amendment itself makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

The problem is most Americans believe you're great, despite actually not having done anything noteworthy to be called it. At all, ever.

As Al Murray said 'The USA is a great idea that got out of hand'.

Not even starting on the US in its education, healthcare system. I knew an American who died literally outside a hospital and they wouldn't treat her because she didn't have insurance at their hospital. I call the USA the Credit Card Country because you're bankrupt and have been for 50 years but keep spinning financial plates precariously hoping they don't fall. Militarily. As many a British soldier I know has said 'I'd rather fight against the Americans than with them'

So many, many reasons why the US is disliked even by it's allies!

[RosieMelts]

Thank you for critiquing America, I think it will do us good to micromanage our country into perfection. No country is perfect in their history, in all honesty, and every country, as long as they’re filled with mortal people capable of corruption, will have some issues or misunderstandings, at the very least. Nothing we can’t work through, as long as we truly work as a team, and acknowledge the areas with the potential to improve. 🙃

[ShadezMcgee]

I honestly don't think that would have a similar affect it did 21 years ago. Sure, we will get people that love our country that will feel that same level of vulnerability and anger and camaraderie with each other I'd something like that happened again, but with how divided America is, I will be honest.

There are people in this country that will be sympathetic and support the ones that would have carried out this hypothetical scenario and say it was righteous and deserved. They would rather support those that attack over those that would potentially die and suffer.

Not a fun thing to say, but it's true.

[monorprise]

Depends I don't think Democrats would trust republicans and republicans would not trust democrats to "let a crisis go to wast" in pushing their agenda.

At the end of the day the question is who is more of a threat to you?

* The enemy on the other side of the planet that MAY kill if allowed in, or enslave you if they can cross the ocean with a large enough force and is not likely to stay after they get what they want.

Or

* The enemy living next door that is threatening your freedom and even your life, and can be expected to do so indefinably.

Civil Wars are far more bloody and brutal affairs than regular wars because they represent the transition of politics from the distrusted/discarded agreements of law to the realm of force with all the 100s of years of anger and the certainty that losing means losing everything.

[Sixgunsound]

Here’s how I know we wouldn’t. There was an FBI staged shooting at a country concert not that long ago, and instead of coming together over a national tragedy, it quickly became politicized about gun rights. One side laughed and openly mocked the dead as though it were OK to do so because of the statistically greater likelihood that they were on the political right based on the genre of music that the concert was. I am beginning to lose hope that anything short of world war could unite the country again, and even then, I’m not so sure.

[Fuentes]

The US has always been divided and has always came together after during tragedy and time of war.

WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, then 9/11 in time of war the US has always been its strongest when we fought together. If someone was to ever invade it would be hell to pay.

Plus their is nothing to worry about with these crazy leftist from a clown world, they are agaisnt 2A and afraid of weapons they won't pick one up to start a civil war. I think we're still in good shape if we can keep crazy politicians from tanking our economy.

[hahahmm]

Ah, but we now know that the government covered up a lot of facts regarding 9-11 and helped people involved in it to escape to Saudi Arabia so if a 9-11 happened now I would bet a huge percentage of the population would be looking to get to the facts without respecting/trusting government at all. So times are very different. A 9-11 level event could spark a war for sure. Not a war thousands of miles away from the U. S. but much closer...

[Fuentes]

Leftist are to afraid to touch weapons

[hahahmm]

@Fuentes Doesn't matter tho because Afghanistan shows that (some of) the military will follow any orders, regardless of how ridiculous. The military leaders only care about their pension these days.

[hahahmm]

But no, I don't think the military would/could stop the majority of the population if forced to make a choice.

[Fuentes]

Lol I really think that would be a small percentage completely

[hahahmm]

@Fuentes I would've agreed before the Afghanistan pullout. Not a lot of soldiers stood up.. close to zero.

[WindAtMyBack]

Nope. I will not side with liberals, nor compromise with liberals under any circumstance. Liberals are doing more to destroy the country than a hundred 9/11s. Liberals ARE the tragedy. Liberals ARE the ones who divide the country. In order to not be divided, modern liberalism must be destroyed.

No compromise. Absolutely none.

[Andres77]

DAYS after 9/11 liberals were asking “what did we do to them for them to hate us so much? It must be our fault.”

liberals do not understand what evil is…because they themselves are so focused on power…to them the end justifies the means in every case.

[nickaboy]

Im not an American , but every country is dividend now.

And politicians act like they don't like it but they do.

In the Netherlands here it is turbine around slowly we see more and more upside down flags that symbolise the People are in danger and the state must help them

[Danny_dan92]

I believe what will bring our country together is either a second civil war or a foreign country invading us.


Mass loss of life will make everyone snap tf out of it, notice everything that both sides are complaining about are first world issues. Once you throw in violence everywhere that is killing a shit load of people.


Inclusivity, abortion, student loans, covid, racism, and every other trivial bs that people bitch about these days will vanish

[melanieeeB]

Agreed

[D_Bone_Steak]

It was going in this direction before 9/11 and 9/11 just postponed the cultural battle. It's a culture war... look at my profile pic and you can tell which side I'm on. I can't stand these snowflakes that want to focus on their pronouns and somehow think communism has ever fucking worked. But yeah, if an outside force strong enough caused a threat... those retards would be right back on my nutts to protect them. Is what it is.

I just want to build the gas chambers already.

[Lliam]

I'm not that easily manipulated.

I think 911 was an inside job in collusion with Israel for the express purpose of manipulating people with "a Pearl Harbor-like" attack. The goals were to steal trillions of $ and make them untraceable; pass the Patriot Act; justify an illegal war.

It was a coup d'etat against the constitution and Americans fell for it.

[RosieMelts]

I had family die in that lol you think Americans would kill it’s own people? It was to manipulate?

You’re a wise guy, but something as large of a project as that would have to be “clean” because some valuable people or alliances would possibly being in the nest of people that were involved. People of all cultures by the way not just born Americans. I think we had a lack of security or alertness and were lazy in those areas and now we’re just not.

Planned by our own people though.. I don’t know about that. Maybe something for later years or maybe possibly in this time but not back then, no…

Sometimes I think about population control but I doubt they would go about it in this way and give that kind of credit to another country. It was messy- tacky.

In that sense, I guess it would be believable to be done at the hands of another country.

[CloudMassacre]

I don’t think we would come together unless like serious food/water shortages happen. Like people will only care about eachother when we’re all HAVING to help eachother out of necessity.

[RosieMelts]

True in a world of a difference of opinion. There needs to be some either sympathy/ relatability/ or common thought/ belief

[exitseven]

No, it is too far gone. We are having a 4 year national tragedy and it seems worse than ever.

[Blueeyes81]

Depends on were that tragedy stems from. Jan 6 was a tragedy but only further divided us. A foreign power strikes the US then yes it could bring us together.

[Waldoe]

America is always divided... it has been since the beginning, mostly it has been a 2 party system, with the rare 3rd party... (Libertarians?) It's called a "Democracy". It is good to have competing ideas that are Voted on by the populace... it has worked for over 200 years. 1 party rule is NOT a Democracy, and that is what the demoncratic party wants

[RosieMelts]

I think so. It’d be good practice and would throw off any “corrupt little workers” off their game, so that they’ll end up working with the ‘majority’ who want to see us thrive.

[TroyDT]

Probably. Or we could just return to federalism and localism so that those who want to live a certain way can do so with the nags in D. C. in both major parties trying to get everyone to conform to their ideas ever time power shifts.

[monorprise]

As Washington remains deadlocked in many ways that is what is happening by default, by design.

The main problem today is the enormous body of law passed int he last 200 years allowing presidents, and their hand picked courts to effectively rule by dictatorial edict.

This is what people are fighting for control or rather to deny control over. (Nobody voted for Joe Biden and a lot of people didn't vote for Trump either)

This is also why its not advantageous for either side to in a war to wage a war between the States like last time rather than an actual Civil War like in Iraq or Afghanistan. The same imperial goverment would crush any State that tried to defend its people. While also demonstratively being unwilling and incapable of waging a prolonged counter-insurgency.

Particularly in the most heavily armed country on Earth.
The truth is without organized State leaders to make peace there is no winning such a war for anyone.

[goaded]

Under a Democratic president? The usual suspects would be screaming "false flag" from every possible outlet, and probably be taken seriously by far too many people.
