For comic book readers, Winkler's tweet reminded them of the Watchmen character Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias. In the story, later adapted into a film and inspiring an HBO series, Ozymandias plots to create a disaster that the U.S. and U.S.S.R. would unite against. Many, many people joked that Winkler was suddenly wishing for a new catastrophe that could unite the U.S., leading to several "Fonziemandius" tweets.

"The People's house was attacked by some of its own citizens and it only divided us more. Even those who were targets of the attack defended the criminal activity that took place on Jan 6," one person wrote. "It's pretty depressing, Henry."
