    If 9-11 happened today would the dems and reps come together?

    Or would it be like the covid fights?

    I believe the people would come together, as they always do faced with a legitimate crisis*, and politicians, if they know what's good for them, i.e., reelection, would follow.


    *See H.W. Brands's The Strange Death of American Liberalism for a history of the American people uniting liberally in the face of crisis and then going their own independent ways. He did not forsee 9/11.
