A global pandemic is a pretty big deal, yet the US is bitterly divided over it. Maybe unity helps deal with big events like world wars rather than world wars causing unity. And disunity in the face of catastrophic events is what tears societies apart.
- IgorPartola 6y agoThe one and only reason why the COVID pandemic had the divisive effect on the US is because of the inability of our soon to be prosecuted president to lead. He made it a political issue and tied it to identity politics. That, and lack of education. Just because some people can’t understand science does not mean it doesn’t work. I saw post election comments about how some Arizonan was disappointed in his state because it legalized cannabis and raised teacher’s salaries. Said he was moving some place better. Think about that for a moment.
