We did have a nation uniting threat arrive 5 years ago.

On the plus side the govt did pull off a successful moonshot with the development of the vaccines.

On the downside it got derailed by a bunch of internet trolls and social media influencers to the point that it was denouncing its own (and arguably only) achievement during this period.

That had the potential to be a nation-uniting threat, but it turned out to be a nation-dividing threat.
