Will natural disasters help unite Americans?
Or, make things worse?
I used to say when the aliens land from another planet Earthlings will unite.
Right after 9/11 it seemed like most Americans were united regardless of political party.
A common foe can be a uniter.
We just had two strong hurricanes in the Southeast US and people from everywhere both charitable and paid are coming to help. Neighbors are helping neighbors. Government is also addressing needs.
There are some horrible destructive rumors being circulated trying to disrupt this coming together of help; but overall, it is us against nature regardless of politics.
Ultimately, do you think devastating natural disasters bring Americans more together or drive us more apart?
