Actor and Happy Days star Henry Winkler, who once said he was thrilled to “help make Donald Trump a one-term President,” took to Twitter to proclaim that the United States needs a “cataclysmic event” in order for the nation to be brought “back together.”
“We are So divided as a country .. only a cataclysmic Event, that makes us depend on one another again, can bring us back together,” the Arrested Development actor tweeted, without offering any further context.

This is just what people have been saying for years: America needs an external enemy or external threat to keep the country from tearing itself apart. But a “cataclysmic event” alone won’t do it. An earthquake, hurricane or tsunami won’t bring us together. Another Great Depression might, though maybe we’d need a war on top of it.
If that happened like you said. And the tsunami was as high as the one that hit Japan in 2011-abt 60 foot.
How much of the Sacratomato river valley be flooded?
He’s right but apparently not in the way he thinks.
So Henry wants a trumped up “Calamity” to bring us all together.
We were all together for about 2 weeks after 9-11-2001 and that was about it.
Recall that Bill Maher wanted economic collapse and a recession to get Donald Trump out of office.
CLEARLY others wanted a year of Covid lockdown and BLMAF riots to get Donald Trump out of office and even then they had to rig the election results to accomplish it.
I’m done trying to find any common “middle” with the Left. What’s BAD for Americans is GOOD for the unquestioned advancement of Leftism.
None of the above, Please! ;)
The Left paraded them in the streets and called for their use on Twitter and Facebook without blowback.
They even ran a #guillotine2020 campaign.

Celebrity Culture Is Burning
The pandemic has disrupted relations among the masses, the elites and the celebrities who liaise between them.

“...The #guillotine2020 hashtag is jumping. As grocery aisles turn bare, some have suggested that perhaps they ought to eat the rich....”
Just like many lefties, the crazy idea that removing Trump would unite America was just that...
A Crazy Idea.
Much of American knows they have been lied to by both parties for a very long time.
I’ve tracked Fake News all the way back to 1890’s with the infiltration of many Western Countries by key people in the early march to Communism.
Ernest Hemingway was the first person I have documented being used by the communists to create “Fake News” so he could save his economic future.
He Lied to the world about the Spanish Civil War and failed to admit he was in active communication with key Communists to promote their agenda.
lefturd loon commies don’t want unity. They want to see a struggle that will achieve the synthesis that they believe is necessary
In February 2002 Sin. Hiltery Rotten Clinton was shouting “BUSH KNEW (in advance)” from the floor of the Senate.
In 2017 there was a Democrat movement to have California secede from the USA. Because they opposed Donald Trump winning the presidency.
Hmmm I would think Biden and Kacler qualifies as a disaster of the first order.
No idea. I just want a four hour head start from Upland to head toward Arizona where I will be buying beachfront property.

Libs do NOTHING but divide the country. They do not ‘cross the aisle’. They do not seek common ground. Quite the contrary. They viscerally attack anything and everything that Conservatives hold dear. Appointments by a Republican? Democrats go nuclear to DESTROY the appointee personally. Democrats hate traditional American values. Democrats pit workers against employers, race against race, criminals vs law abiding citizens. Divided country, Henry? It’s a Democrat thing.
The country will be united when they wipe out all opposition.
this isn’t wwii era america anymore henry
i wonder if his event is about the left trying to kill off the dwindling number of pesky conservatives
When he jumped a shark it is a pity he wasn’t eaten
Henry, go jump over a real shark, after I spilled blood next to it. Trump UNITED Americans.
He is probably correct. The last time we had even a gesture of unity was right after 9/11. Bush had 90% approval for months even as democrats in Congress had begun to undermine.
Studies of cohesive group identity reveal consistently that when a group is divided, the best way to overcome the divide is to be confronted with an overriding, superordinate external threat. Pearl Harbor was an earlier example. Democrats and Republicans alike lined up down the street waiting to enlist.
From the end of WW II through the 80’s, with the Cold War on, there was an overarching principle of foreign relations, often violated but always honored in the breach, that “politics stopped at the water’s edge.”
With the fall of the Berlin Wall and soon the Soviet regime, that unified exoskeleton was fragmented by partisan animosities and agendas. Since then it has been all downhill.
Seems to me the Fonz is right..
