Henry Winkler was caught in a Twitter controversy on Saturday after expressing the controversial opinion that it would take a cataclysmic event to unite a country divided by politics and social issues.
The Happy Days alum, 75, tweeted: '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 New York City native faced a hailstorm of criticism pointing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the September 11, 2001 attack, and other major events to rebut the Emmy-winning actor's point of view.

Well,. Fonzi, the pandemic only split the country hopelessly apart. Short of massive famine and starvation, anarchy would follow. You will recall that the left is willing to fight to the death to win permanent control here. A cataclysm wont be uniting squat.

And, hopefully, Trump will be in the White House.
Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, Biden, ... will be past history.

Half the Country believes the Constitution is written in dry erase marker. They have replaced liberty with the libertine. And they believe we should vote for the Party of Slavery, because slavery was so very bad. They are willing to back up those beliefs with illegal and violent action, and an entire media industry designed to field supporting propaganda.
The other half of the Country believes in timeless values, including the value of life. But they are gutless cowards who won't make social media posts in favor of values for which their forefathers died for.
My money is on the baby-killing, former slavers. Now looking for an exit strategy for my kids.

9/11 didn't do it. Unlike Dec. 7th.

He's a little behind in discovering that truth is now hate speech.

Hilarious and pathetic. The Democrats were politicizing 9/11 before the towers collapsed.

About ten years after Vietnam they used to say it would take another war to unscrew the military. We got several and it didnt work. I suspect The Fonz was talking about a real event. Unlike a fake pandemic or localized communist riots that have all been orchestrated to divide us but mostly dont effect us, a real event like a UFO landing or a Chinese missile strike really would cause us to drop this Soros silliness and get down to business.

This may have been true in the past. Unfortunately, today's hyper partisan political climate would have politicians climbing over each other to gain some sort of political advantage and campaign cash from the tragedy. The politicians would also point fingers of blame at their opposition party for the causes of the tragedy and any lives lost.

The pandemic was biological warfare supported by the political elites and the communists.

The divide is too great. One must emerge victorious. We just don’t know who will yet. I have to say it’s not looking good for our side. We have little to no leadership in Washington willing to fight the good fight. Most everyone in the country does not want to fight. Their comfort is more important. Many of our brainwashed youth are lost and don’t have a clue what is to come. Many Teachers are making a move right now to show their muscle. Their goal is to indoctrinate the generation coming up and they are deadly serious about it. These people are deadly serious, in your face and fear nothing. It is this attitude that we will face going forward. Democrats will bully their way to achieve submission. We are fools if we don’t understand their mindset. They have already declared war and will use everything at their disposal to win. Most of our Republican leaders are clueless and do not want to be educated in the reality of democrat warfare. Democrats have committed warriors who believe government is their god and they mean to fight their holy war. Notice how our real enemies are just waiting this out because Democrats are doing their work for them.

Like the man, but he is wrong. The event has already taken place: Joe Biden and whoever is running him are managing to destroy our Republican in a mere matter of months, and as long as part of the populace either pays no attention the the man behind the curtain and/or listens to the media without questioning, nothing will happen to unite us. AND I have a bone to pick with the idea of us getting along with the Dems....that ALWAYS means we cave and give in to some really horrendous inches prior to them taking a mile.

Sorry, Fonzi, even that won’t do it. Example #1 - September 11, 2001.

Henry or can I call you Fonzi who did you vote for in the last election of 2020. No Fonzi the stupid statement you just made is gone with the wind. I don't want to unite with leftist liberals, ever. It's over and we know what liberals do when it comes to a disaster, nothing but screw it up for everyone. Sorry Fonzi go jump a shark.

I doubt that the party that claimed a building collapse was caused by global warming would come back to reality in the face of any cataclysmic event. So, he would have been right for most of human history, but there's a new level of political and social depravity on the scene call Democrat.
