Note that when Japan bombed and sank the USS Panay, America stayed neutral because the people didn't want to fight.  And then when the war in Europe began, America stayed neutral because the people didn't want to fight.  But the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the Bataan Death March caused the "Regeneracy," the political battles were put aside (despite the fact that FDR was even more divisive than Trump is today), and the country united behind FDR to fight the Japanese.

I know you have strongly held views, but it's impossible to believe that anyone has been as divisive as DJT. FDR had some serious detractors, but Trump is actually building a potent opposition that may simply be unwilling to accept Trump 2.0, of that occurs. He's already a minority POTUS, and there is little doubt that, if reelected, he will be even moreso in 2021. That will be the third minority election in this century -- fully 50%! I can't see that being opposed quietly.
