Ehhhh only if the aliens are a non active threat I’d say more likely for active threats is an initial few years of human unity then we devolve back into our normal ways of hating eachother constantly as the aliens fade into a general background fact of life.
I'd say the first day would see unprecedented looting if shit wasn't being summarily destroyed. Maybe half or less would actually fight against an existential threat, but the other half would be worried about basic survival, The other half would need to split their resources between other humans, basic survival, and a threat to humanity.
If it's a singular event, the "9/11" mindset could maintain control for a long time, though.
Yeah, it's a trope. I think District 9 had a more realistic view.
