  • Everyone loves Steel Ball Run's iconic Funny Valentine,
    but it seems nobody on the internet knows which political party Valentine belonged to.
    Today I am ending that with 100% irrefutable facts and logic, that's right, I found the answer Araki hid in plain sight all along. I found whether Valentine was a Republican or a Democrat

    Valentine being an Union veteran for the Civil War also strongly leans him to be a Republican based on simple voting patterns at the time.
    Also, the Republican Party was not "left wing" in anyway, aside from abolitionism, wherein after that issue was settled they became strongly in the right. The Republicans under McKinley were pretty much pro business(which is why they were isolationist) and expansionist, annexing Hawaii, the Philippines and Puerto Rico for example. Ironically, Republicans were anti free trade since they believed that it would hurt domestic industry, an idea that is only making a comeback.
    Theodore Roosevelt, a republican, was domestically progressive but he was a war hawk and anti immigration.
    It was the Democrats who gradually adopted left wing ideas basically adopting patronage politics

      If you look at it one way, the parties never changed. The Republicans have always been the party of "Everyone should have the same chance to pull up their boot straps and earn their own living." In the 1800s, that meant giving Blacks the chance to be equal. In the modern world, that means not giving special treatment to minorities. The difference is that meant elevating some to not elevating others, as the nation became more equal. The Democrats have always been the party of White Savior-ism. In the 1800s, that meant it was their "right" to control the Minority populations on plantations to make a lot of money, supposedly for their own good. In the modern world, it means providing monetary hand-outs and group identities to control Minority populations in city slums to make a lot of money, supposedly for their own good. The difference is that they traded Fear and Chains for Greed and Peer Pressure.
      Republicans: "Get out and work for it, pansy."
      Democrats: "We're from the Government and we're here to help."

      @@ARKHAM367 by and large yes but change was already happening.
      Let’s start from the beginning. The original two major American parties were the federalists and the Democratic-Republicans who we’ll just call DemPubs. Federalists were generally based on the eastern seaboard and in large cities which favored a more centralized government such as the ideals men like Alexander Hamilton promoted. The DemPubs supported more decentralized state powers and were lead by Jefferson. Ultimately after Jefferson defeated John Adams (the only official federalist president) in 1800, the DemPubs dominated politics for the next 3 decades and saw the federalists dissolve complete
      In 1832 we saw another major realignment. Because former federalists essentially joined the DemPubs along with it being a national party, many felt the party lost its Jeffersonian identity, the most prominent being Andrew Jackson. Jackson was a self made man and frontiersman who believed in the vision of Jeffersonian democracy. He used his status as a war hero to launch a political career and eventually ran for president as one of four DemPubs. Despite winning both a plurality of the popular and electoral college vote, Jackson wouldn’t enter the White House and instead John Quincy Adams, son of former federalist John Adams, won via a dealing in congress.
      This lead to jackson leaving the DemPubs and establishing the Democratic Party, the same party that stands today. Jackson essentially evolved the Jeffersonian ideal, maintaining the belief of limited federal power but promoting democracy of the common man, something Jefferson initially promoted but slowly phased out. He supported further enfranchisement of whites and expansion into western territories along with a reduction of tariffs and stopping national infrastructure projects.
      Despite his opposition to federal power, critics compared Jackson to a king due to his liberal usage of the veto and the Whig party was born from anti jackson dissenters. The Whigs were essentially spiritual successors to Federalists supporting a stronger federal government and higher tariffs to protect industries. However the Whigs would never really consolidate their base and kept nominating old dudes who died in office leading to mediocre VPs to succeed them and as such the Whigs faded into obscurity. Many Whigs either rejoined the democrats or formed a new party.
      By 1840, slavery was the new hot topic. This lead to the formation of the Republican Party. Although discussions were about slavery there was greater economic philosophies at hand. Republicans like the federalists and Whigs were concentrated in cities and as such supported mercantilism plans of high tariffs. Lincoln himself had been a former Whig and apprentice of Henry Clay the former party leader. It’s also worth mentioning most people who were anti slavery weren’t necessarily pro equal rights and in fact often proposed colonization to remove blacks from the country.
      After the civil war, republicans dominated politics and maintained high tariffs for the benefit of big business. Likewise after reconstruction ended they’d drop any pretexts of supporting African Americans. Democrats for the most part didn’t really change still supporting free trade. During the gilded age, Grover Cleveland would be the only democrat elected and enacted low tariff but pro business policies. In terms of expansionism, both parties were split but the democrats were generally more isolationist than republicans with Cleveland rejecting annexation of Hawaii but would be completed by his successor Benjamin Harrison.
      Then we get to the progressive era and again both parties had progressive factions in response to the rise of corporate power. Theodore Roosevelt who was a Republican became the first progressive president and began cracking down on monopolies. His successor Taft would continue the policy even more effectively but political squabbles lead to Roosevelt splitting. During this period the democrats were transmogrifying thanks to the de facto leader former Nebraska congressman William Jennings Bryan who steered the party away from the laisses-faire leadership of Cleveland and again to support progressivism. Keep in mind progressive here means expansion of government power into every aspect of life, including the rise of eugenics as a means of population control and being anti-immigrant and pro assimilation. Similarly progressives were split on imperialism.
      This leads to Wilson who after a successful term as governor ran for president and was endorsed by Bryan eventually defeating Taft and Roosevelt in 1912 and he began taking the Democratic Party and america into a much more progressive direction. Fdr would follow suit 20 years later
      So by and large, the democrats didn’t really change that much. This video is wrong saying there was a party switch

      @@ARKHAM367 uh no southern democrats weren’t. First of all just forget about labels like liberal or conservative or progressive or whatever because they don’t mean anything.
      While southern states initially were pro small government after reconstruction and the progressive era they became pro large government. Mississippi was the second state after Wisconsin to enact an income tax. Kentucky became the first state to let women vote. Southern politicians focused on controlling monopolies. Woodrow Wilson himself had roots in the deep south, tho had primarily lived in the north for his college career. The south overwhelmingly supported FDR voting for him by 99 percent in some instances. Even LBJ who many cite as the mark of the political flip, was from Texas but want to treat him as the exception. Truman’s initiative of racial integration did begin a schism between north and south but for the most part they agreed on every other issue.
      So no I wouldn’t say the southern democrats of that period would be republicans by todays standard. The south moved republican because racial tensions died down by the 1980s and the democratic based moved to northern upper class interests. Plus after WWII both parties became general pro interventionist and pro free trade. Simply put Dixiecrats stayed Dixiecrats until they died and were replaced by new generations of southern republicans. But schools gas light everyone into believing there was a big switch. Just look up guys like James Vardaman or Theodore Bilbo and you’ll see these guys were lock step with the progressive movement yet now a days they’re labeled as conservatives and right wing. Bilbo in particular voted 100 percent for the new deal in the senate yet is called a right winger on wikipedia

      @@ARKHAM367 again man, social conservative means nothing. What were they conserving? It completely changes over time.
      Wallace was a democrat. He briefly established a third party but rejoined the democrats. He remained a democrat through his fourth term and died a democrat. He also probably would’ve won the democratic nomination over McGovern in 1972 if he wasn’t shot. Nixon didn’t have a southern strategy. It was a sunbelt strategy appealing to suburbanite across California, Arizona and the south. If you look at a state level election map, Nixon did best in suburban counties. Wallace did best in rural counties and Humphrey did best in black and urban counties. In most states Nixon came in third before Wallace or Humphrey. Even without Wallace it’s unlikely Nixon wins the south. Nixon did poorly with the rural areas which were the democratic base.
      It’s also important to note, wallace didn’t run a regional campaign. In fact he didn’t even run a segregationist campaign. His messaging was primarily on the Vietnam war and crime. He outright said in several interviews he wouldn’t enforce segregation anywhere. Wallace was an old school progressive democrat which by 1960 was erroneously labeled as conservative. As government he expanded welfare, tried to overturn right to work and was an isolationist. He really wasn’t that much different than Hubert Humphrey besides racial politics. He was never the “southern” candidate and positioned himself as a person with national appeal. He also certainly wasn’t to Nixon’s right and Nixon himself was basically a centrist. I find it funny how despite being Eisenhower’s VP, libs love Ike despite Nixon being similar to him.
      As for the Atwater quote, watch the entire interview. He states several times reagan didn’t need a southern strategy. But people take that one line out of context and ignore what he was actually saying. A person asked him what his thoughts are on claims of racial dog whistles and his point is that racism has become so unacceptable that things have gotten so abstract that economic policies are called racist. He outright said “I’m coming at this from a psychologist perspective, not a campaigner.” The point being as he put it we are doing away with racial politics if you go from saying the n word openly to talking about economics.
      “But Reagan did not have to do a. Southern strategy for two reasons. Number one, race was not a dominant issue, and number two the mainstream issues in this campaign had been quote southern issues since way back in the sixties. So reagan goes out and campaigns on the issues of economics and of national defense. The whole campaign was devoid of any king of racism, any kind of reference.”
      In fact Atwater stated that a campaign using dog whistles failed in the south several times versus one devoid of race. People were over race by 1980. No one cared.
      As for abortion, the majority of people in both parties generally took anti abortion approaches. Even Hillary Clinton promoted “safe legal but rare” versus now where you should shout your abortion. Considering Trump is called far right despite taking the most generic and vague anti abortion stance is a testament to the Overton window being so far left.
      But again look at the broader history. Since 1912 the democrats were the left wing party not the republicans. Wilson was undoubtedly to the left of Harding and Coolidge. Fdr was to their left as well. There was zero difference between the Dixiecrat of 1960 and the generic democrat of 1912 or even 1930. Remember fdr generally avoided racial issues. Even wilson called out lynchings and demanding a stop. The only difference between wallace and Humphrey was their stance on segregation but 90 percent of other issues they were lock step, except maybe interventionism. Do there was no southern strategy.
      This also isn’t even getting into the fact prior to the civil war, the south was actually far LESS racist than the north

    Something that I think is also makes Funny Valentine an interesting (and excellent) villain is that, even within the American isolationism ideal he has, it's still from a bigoted perspective because he has no problem with even a few American lives lost just so that he can obtain the Holy Corpse. The cross-country race in of itself was recognized as dangerous and life-threatening, and the lives of the Steeles and his subordinates doesn't phase him either (even back before he could accuse Lucy Steele's actions as treason).
    In a lot of ways, Funny Valentine kinda reminds me of Pucci but with his ideals and goals being a little more complex.

      Democrat vs. Republican is very vague terminology in the first place. To my knowledge, it doesn't really have an inherent meaning.
      As such, the simplification works fine. Generally speaking, modern day Democrats lean more towards change (good or bad) and modern day Republicans lean more towards keeping the status quo (good or bad).
      In the 1800's, that sentiment was the same, it's just that the party names switched.

    I think it's a little silly to say Funny Valentine would be a modern day Democrat when, as you say in the video he is full isolationist. Isolationism may have been a bipartisan stance years ago, it is most definitely a right wing one today. Modern dems that hold such views are considered to hold "right wing views". Also Funny having a black body guard is very possible, just look at the stories of Frederick Douglass and Booker T Washington.

    1:43 I actually know the answer to this from a friend who took history in his college class and explained this! From what I can remember, the reason why the two parties changed is because when John F. Kennedy became president, he was a Democrat which would be the modern day Republican. Since Kennedy was the youngest and probably the more popular and coolest President, the Democrats back then viewed his presidency and how he was as a president didn’t like him and thought he didn’t fit with their ideals. So during his presidency, the parties began to switch their ideals and thus became the two modern policies of the US. All because a political party didn’t like their president.

      There’s a lot more to it than that. Kennedy was socially progressive, which southern Democrats disagreed with, and likewise, as Nixon would find out, the Republicans were becoming more socially conservative at the same time. Kennedy, of course, got shot, and LBJ took his place, and when LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, that was the final straw for the southern Democrats. They left for the Republicans, and the remaining liberal elements of the Republicans joined the Dems. It wasn’t a complete party switch, though, until the next generation of voters, who backed Ronald Reagan, the first modern neoliberal conservative US president, for the Republicans.

    • @a1001ku
      @a1001ku Год назад +20

      But, like, no? Sounds like your friend has no idea.
      The reversal started way before JFK's presidency. Most Democrats liked JFK except the southern Democrats, who were popularly called the Dixiecrats. The conservative Dixiecrats opposed JFK's support of the rising civil rights movement and after JFK was assassinated, his successor LBJ passed the civil rights act, in effect ensuring the seperation of Dixiecrats from the mainline Democratic party. Several members of the southern Democrats shifted over to the Republican party while many moderate members of the Republican party shifted over to the Democratic party. Gradually the party messaging changed to the Democratic party becoming more progressive and the Republican changing their messaging to be more conservative to attract the disgruntle southern former Democrats. You can see this shift in the way that in the 1950s, about 70% Democrats were center left with the remaining being far-right(the Dixiecrats), and most Republicans being center-right. In the 1970s, most Democrats were center-left while most Republicans were right with some far-right. This ended with the Reagan presidency solidifying the Republican party as the conservative party.
      So, no the parties didn't switch during the JFK presidency, it was a gradual process that had been going on for about 4 decades at that point. The passing of the civil rights act acted as a peak in the switch.
      Btw, the point you said is very often said by conservatives who want to claim JFK as some sort of conservative leader who got betrayed by his own party, but like I said, JFK was mostly progressive who was hated by the conservative minority in his party.

      The party switch is an inherently stupid theory because it’s wildly oversimplifying to a historically illiterate level and it ONLY exists to make a point instructional racism and wypipo. Even if you believe in those things, you’re shooting yourself in the foot by making that argument because “party switch” is too embarrassingly simple and ignores context compared to the more convincing narratives you could make against wypipo if you simply didn’t underestimate other people’s intelligence.
      There’s been at least 4-5 pivots or minor realignments within young people’s lives, so the idea of one magic party switch that explains racism makes no sense. Parties, factions, and organizations are always realigning and being replaced with new people all the time - even in the US’s relatively rigid 2-party system that sees less change than parliamentary multi-party systems - so how could it make any sense that the republicans and democrats only switched once?

    Fun fact: the ideological shift happened around when the civil rights movement started to pick up steam and democrats realized that making a bunch of promises to entire demographics guaranteed to go through unfair hardships was an easy way to guarantee a blind voter base.
    It was a slow transition, but this period is what marked the end of actually sensible policy debates and turned into a pathetic game between elders trying to embezzle the most money.
    The Democrat party hasn't shifted in ideology so much as it's ditched ideology altogether in exchange for false promises.
    Meanwhile the Republican party mostly stagnated and stayed consistent up until Reagan, where his absurdly stupid ideas were so bad it caused the entire party to have a fluctuating identity crisis that is still rippling through the current Republican party, leaving the only unifying concept to be economic stability.
    It's only with the current rise of leftist ideas such as paying reparations, that the right wing has even started to have unified and cohesive thoughts. The Right usually doesn't care unless something negatively affects their livelihoods, which...
