Could this coronavirus pandemic finally be the thing that brings this country together?

That virus doesn't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican. It doesn't care if you are a natural born citizen or an undocumented immigrant. It doesn't care what your gender is and it doesn't care what your race is. It doesn't care what your sexual orientation is. It doesn't even care if you are Joe Biden or Donald Trump. We are all in this together.

1. Not with this president. He is lying to his base and everyone else.

So as long as he's president, no chance. IMHO

2. I wish I could say that it would.

I see lots of rampant selfishness out there...starting with the dozen of my kiddo's friends getting on planes for spring break travel. Then there's the empty shelves at Coscto and Target from people hoarding toilet paper, hand sanitizers and bleach wipes. Large events and concerts going on uncancelled. I won't even mention the numbers of people that tell me they believe it is a hoax and or the media is blowing this out of proportion. I feel very disheartened today.

3. Sure, right up until trump blames Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer,

D governors, etc. I wish it was possible.

4. Still too many holdouts - unfortunately...

The body count will have to surpass the flu for many to believe it

5. Something darn sure needs to.

[GusBob]

6. that or complete dystopian anarchy

I might choose that latter instead of cozying up to the vermin who foisted Trump upon us

[dewsgirl]

7. I thought so, until the past week. Coronavirus is now

politicised.

[Orrex]

8. Trump's fuckhead cultists will reaffirm their worship of him

and they will continue to blame Obama, Liberals, and immigrants for the pandemic.

In short, no, it won't bring the country together.

9. Unlikely. How would you find common ground

With someone who thinks the virus is a hoax concocted by us dastardly Dems in collusion with the media just to humiliate the bestest president in history? How do you even open a dialog with people who deny facts, scoff at science, and distrust basic medical advice?

It's a catchy slogan, "We are all in this together", good PR, yeah? That's why Trump tossed it out there. However, it remains a meaningless word jumble when Trump won't even speak with Pelosi and continues to tweet of inflammatory accusations against Democrats.

10. Go look at Breitbart for your answer. Don't know about right now this moment, but earlier this

morning it seemed to me like a resounding No! The TW is too evil to recognize when they have no options but to admit and own up to the truth.

[Native]

11. I honestly don't think so. Sad to say.

[DrToast]

12. Doesn't seem that way

[Doreen]

13. NO

It is the same or has already gotten more divided.

[Tech]

14. Not with the way it is being handled.

[BigMin28]

15. Even if tRump were gone

as long as we have FoxNews, Repukes, Rush Limbaugh and the like spreading lies and stirring
the pot to a good portion of gullible Americans, we shall remain divided.

17. I was hoping that a serious emergency like this might be enough to jar them into

their senses but maybe you're right.

[Fullduplexxx]

16. Nope ... sick people should go to maga klan rallys

[totodeinhere]

18. Yes, but what if they go back into the community and infect you or me? n/t

[smirkymonkey]

19. No. This president and his lackeys will make sure this crisis is used to drive another wedge

between decent Americans and Trump's cult. They are the ones who are politicizing it and accusing us of doing the same. They will do anything to keep the hate going and fuel the anger. It is the only way they can stay in power.
