Pretty biased against Trump. Thats fine, I respect when people are straight up about their oolitical views instead of claiming to be neutral and being really far on one side.
yea ur getting a lot of dislikes on this video its weird, i mean what you said against regan and trump is true, i think it also would of been notable for you to bring up the fact that clinton"s campaign was the most costly amounting to one billion dollars, also good job on not just memeing out nixon since most of the things he did get ignored bc of watergate
German Empire - I think thats an ignorant thing to say since John Ruddy misrepresented it. I support trickle-down economics because it works. Wealthy people in America aren't all evil. Infact they're all people. Reagan's economic plan reduced the CORPORATE TAX. Not the tax on rich people. The corporate tax. This means that business owners had more room to expand the industry they are in and therefore create more slots for jobs and more economic growth.
@Bryan Valearius trickle down economics is a term coined by liberals to smear what the actual philosophy is called, apparently so they can draw people peeing on other people. The correct term is supply side economics
Everyone has biases. I detected a fair attempt to cover all the issues of the modern Presidents, so despite the fact that she's listing to starboard a fair bit towards the end there, it's still pretty good work.
+NoMorals what he means is that the narrative always seems to say it as if the US was a driving force of the international slave trade. Yes we HAD slaves, but slavery in the US was something we more or less inherited from Britain, rather than necessarily being our own idea. The third arrow in the Rum Triangle should be aimed quite a bit further south, 5 out of every 6 slaves ever imported to the New World wound up in Spanish or Portuguese territory, the last one is split between the Dutch and English New World colonies. We banned international slave trade only a few years after we started actually existing. (the ban was ratified as part of the ratification of the Constitution, actually) I'll be the last one to deny that the US had its issues with slavery. We clearly did. But those issues are not directly related to the international slave trade. I'm sure there was some illicit people smuggling, hell there still is, but we got the **** out of that just as soon as we could, at least legally.

I'm sorry but this is the incredibly based towards democrats. Carter is often considered one of the worst Presidents ever, and Reagan is often considered the one of the best. Also a lot of the things he mentions about Trump have been proven false many times. But considering he's an Irishman, I'll let the Trump part slide
Popularity does not equate to effectiveness my man, my country thinks a corrupt dictator's 20 year reign were the "good old days" while facts distinctly prove otherwise. Old people remember him fondly, old people also didn't have access to proper research either

I understand this guy mostly talks about history from a factual standpoint, but when you start to get into recent stuff that is no excuse to let your bias come through. I don’t care if your a professor, historian, reporter, or a news outlet. If your going to talk about history, you must not let bias come through at any time period, especially recent times.
As a centralist, I see that this video is more biased. For example, while Ford was called out for the economic problems in the 70s, Carter wasn't. Clinton wasn't called out for the economic recession of 2008 (revoked restrictions on speculation and buying on Margin). Yes, he is pointing out facts, but he is also leaving out facts
Well he did lose by 3 million votes and is desperately trying to slow down the investigation of Russia's possible meddling in the election so I'm not too sure about that

@Kingdom of Hungary just because it isnt perfect for everyone doesnt mean its not great in comparison to some other countries. admittedly it has its issues. trump has issues. whats not true is that if you arent a straight white male you are automatically a victim of societal standards and bigotry. now im not saying homophobes, racists, sexists, etc. dont exist. they are some pretty horrible people but they are a minority in comparison to most republicans who are just normal trying to live their life normally. yes, extreme republicans and alt right nazis do and say some horrible things, but you cant base the entire party off them. its ignorant and biased and thats objectively true.that would be like saying feminism and left wing people are horrible because some stupid tumblr sjws said some sexist shit. ridiculous right? thats exactly the kind of projecting and straw man propaganda youre pushing by saying that. it honestly doesnt matter what you label yourself as, thats stupid and ignorant and unhelpful.
You're alienating a portion of your fan base by being obviously left leaning, this is an informational video, not somewhere to talk exclusively about the great things that democrats have done and be quite biased against republicans, for example, not mentioning a single good thing about Reagan, even though he is seen to be one of americas greatest presidents
@@technophobe6520 Ronnie Reagan was a slimy racist and traitor. He was 'one of the greatest presidents' if you were a rich white man, but you don't speak for the general American.
Hi centrist here, true he seemed a little alienating 3 years ago but after what happened 4 days ago I’d say the end of this video aged like fine wine even though I didn’t think it was a fair assessment in 2017. Today is 1/10/21.
I respect that you have your own opinions on these topics, and you have the right to do whatever you want with your videos. I'm very much Republican and conservative (And yes, I even support Trump on many of his ideas. His character is questionable though...) and I don't think other Republicans in the comments are being fair. I think that if you don't feel the need to have a Republican audience to your videos then you have every right to make a video expressing your own opinions like this. And to the other Republicans in the comments: You're going to have to get used to biased videos, Democrats will too. This election was very controversial and there is a very small amount of neutral people in the work at this point. Heck, even I'm biased, and chances are you are too, so just learn to deal with it because it isn't going to stop.
Great video, though I was somewhat disappointed with that tinsy bit of bias on President Trump at the end, we should all wait to see what he really accomplishes in 4, or possibly 8 years. I'm really waiting on the Vietnam War vid tho! Keep it up!

I'm seeing many comments about how this is biased, and yeah it is, so what? Move on. Hey but going into controversial territory... Why you gotta do Reagan like that??? He was a great president!
As John Greene said in the episode of Crash Course US history, "...during the Reagan administration it became easier to make money by buying and selling companies rather than running them profitably. But fortunately we later dealt with that problem. Oh, we never fix the problems, we only fix the things that are fine!"

A couple of myths I spotted in this video: 1. The economy and wages soared under Regan soon after the implementation of trickle down economics. Trickle down economics "apparently" did reach it's way to the people on the street due to increased economic activity from the wealthy allowing more jobs for people to fill. 2. The Affordable Care Act did not make healthcare in the US more affordable, in fact, it had the exact opposite effect. For most people, deductibles doubled or even tripled, there were even cases of peoples deductibles quadrupling under certain circumstances. Many employers that provided healthcare benefits to their workers stopped doing so because of the increased costs.
Well, that's not really true, is it? 'Trickle-down economics' is just reactionary garbage that Ronnie Reagan was vomiting out in the 1980s. And The Affordable Care Act gave millions of Americans access to health care.
"Reaganomics: Reagan’s mix of across-the-board tax cuts, deregulation, and domestic spending restraint helped fuel an economic boom that lasted two decades. Reagan inherited a misery index (the sum of the inflation and unemployment rates) of 19.99%, and when he left office it had dropped to 9.72%." Just a quick note that trickle down economics do work!
It is blatantly obvious you allowed bias to affect your video quality. Your voice and tone change significantly at Reagan, becoming facetious, sarcastic, and critical.
You went way too hard on Reagan. Fact of the matter is his Military policy of out-spending the Soviets. was a major cause in the economic collapse of the USSR, and his Economic policy resulted in a boom that raised both wages and employment. However, he did make many mistakes that led to problems in the long run like funding the Mujahideen and a large Defeceit. Also Obama is the only President who did not see a single year of over 3% GDP growth, and left office with 1% in his last quater. After cutting many Obama era regulations, Trump hit 3.2% GDP growth (the first time since 2008) in his first quarter as well as a Stock-Market boom immediately following his election.
Pubilius Syrus USSR was already failing by the time Regan got his second term and sure the military spending was part of that but most of it was because the Afghanistan war which lasted from 1981-1989 which wasted massive amounts of money and resources that the USSR needed plus there was growing nationalism growing in the Soviet puppet states and im not saying that Regan didn't help with that but the point is the USSR was already on the way out
He mentioned the bad and good about presidents from both sides? I think you're taking the criticisms of republicans harsher than democrats from the video. Which, I guess is reasonable if you align as a republican, but he did mention the awful things that happened during Obamas term as well.
Pretty biased against Trump. Thats fine, I respect when people are straight up about their oolitical views instead of claiming to be neutral and being really far on one side.

I'm sorry but this is the incredibly based towards democrats. Carter is often considered one of the worst Presidents ever, and Reagan is often considered the one of the best. Also a lot of the things he mentions about Trump have been proven false many times. But considering he's an Irishman, I'll let the Trump part slide
What false statement was made about Trump?
the fact that he's a mysoginist, racist, homophobe, xenophobe, bully, and that he's a fascist, which is blatantly just not true.
Okay, fair. He's probably not a fascist. Probably.
Popularity does not equate to effectiveness my man, my country thinks a corrupt dictator's 20 year reign were the "good old days" while facts distinctly prove otherwise. Old people remember him fondly, old people also didn't have access to proper research either

You just lost all credibility when you decided to throw an opinionated tantrum about trump on an otherwise fact based and neutral channel.
Frog Stat He didn't angrily yell about it, and as an Irish/EU citizen John has the right to express his personal opinion on public platforms, just as you have the right to respectfully disagree.
Thomas Kole Well said.
It's supposed to be a video, from him. He decides whatever he wants to to with it. But I am sorry if you can handle his right to an opinion.
Well since he is from Europe, He doesn't have freedom of speech, the only country in the world with it, is the U.S. So Painmaker he doesn't have the right to an opinion.
Freedom of Speech isn't a Country Thing. it's World Wide. You make it seem like the US is the one who doesn't have freedom of speech.
I understand this guy mostly talks about history from a factual standpoint, but when you start to get into recent stuff that is no excuse to let your bias come through. I don’t care if your a professor, historian, reporter, or a news outlet. If your going to talk about history, you must not let bias come through at any time period, especially recent times.
I feel like your bit on Trump was too politically motivated
*Parts 1 and 2* Wow, this guy knows his stuff!
*Part 3* Wow this guy really doesn't know his stuff.
Yep!
My thoughts exactly. It's a shame
“Both were unpopular contenders.”
Donald Trump: *w r o n g*
WHY ARE THEY PRAISING CARTER AND NOT REGAN????
Joey Talerico
Biased video.
As a centralist, I see that this video is more biased. For example, while Ford was called out for the economic problems in the 70s, Carter wasn't. Clinton wasn't called out for the economic recession of 2008 (revoked restrictions on speculation and buying on Margin). Yes, he is pointing out facts, but he is also leaving out facts
Joey Talerico Because Reagan gets nothing but praise from his supporters when he is pretty much responsible for all the problems we face today.
Dominic Schatz I forgot, did the video mention the drug problems? If not, then the war on drugs is a massive failure

It's true though, the rise of right-wing political groups in Europe and the strong polarization of political ideologies in America is exactly what happened in the 30's and we all know how that ended.

All he said was true though. The fact alone that Trump immediatly got a lot of rich idiots and "friends" into the positions under him is proof enough that this is gonna be a baaaaad ride.

He was biased against republicans in almost all three videos.
There was no bias. He just pointed out facts.

@Kingdom of Hungary just because it isnt perfect for everyone doesnt mean its not great in comparison to some other countries. admittedly it has its issues. trump has issues. whats not true is that if you arent a straight white male you are automatically a victim of societal standards and bigotry. now im not saying homophobes, racists, sexists, etc. dont exist. they are some pretty horrible people but they are a minority in comparison to most republicans who are just normal trying to live their life normally. yes, extreme republicans and alt right nazis do and say some horrible things, but you cant base the entire party off them. its ignorant and biased and thats objectively true.that would be like saying feminism and left wing people are horrible because some stupid tumblr sjws said some sexist shit. ridiculous right? thats exactly the kind of projecting and straw man propaganda youre pushing by saying that. it honestly doesnt matter what you label yourself as, thats stupid and ignorant and unhelpful.

I respect that you have your own opinions on these topics, and you have the right to do whatever you want with your videos. I'm very much Republican and conservative (And yes, I even support Trump on many of his ideas. His character is questionable though...) and I don't think other Republicans in the comments are being fair. I think that if you don't feel the need to have a Republican audience to your videos then you have every right to make a video expressing your own opinions like this.
And to the other Republicans in the comments: You're going to have to get used to biased videos, Democrats will too. This election was very controversial and there is a very small amount of neutral people in the work at this point. Heck, even I'm biased, and chances are you are too, so just learn to deal with it because it isn't going to stop.
Thanks very much for your comment. I'll be sticking to older history. This is usually why I stay out of current affairs.

A couple of myths I spotted in this video:
1. The economy and wages soared under Regan soon after the implementation of trickle down economics. Trickle down economics "apparently" did reach it's way to the people on the street due to increased economic activity from the wealthy allowing more jobs for people to fill.
2. The Affordable Care Act did not make healthcare in the US more affordable, in fact, it had the exact opposite effect. For most people, deductibles doubled or even tripled, there were even cases of peoples deductibles quadrupling under certain circumstances. Many employers that provided healthcare benefits to their workers stopped doing so because of the increased costs.
Well, that's not really true, is it? 'Trickle-down economics' is just reactionary garbage that Ronnie Reagan was vomiting out in the 1980s. And The Affordable Care Act gave millions of Americans access to health care.
"Reaganomics: Reagan’s mix of across-the-board tax cuts, deregulation,
and domestic spending restraint helped fuel an economic boom that lasted
two decades. Reagan inherited a misery index (the sum of the inflation
and unemployment rates) of 19.99%, and when he left office it had
dropped to 9.72%." Just a quick note that trickle down economics do work!
Update on the Trump-Russia Collusion: There wasn't any😂😂😂😂😂
It is blatantly obvious you allowed bias to affect your video quality. Your voice and tone change significantly at Reagan, becoming facetious, sarcastic, and critical.

John D Ruddy: both were very unpopular candidates
Trump: wrong
Me: LMAO 😂
You went way too hard on Reagan. Fact of the matter is his Military policy of out-spending the Soviets. was a major cause in the economic collapse of the USSR, and his Economic policy resulted in a boom that raised both wages and employment. However, he did make many mistakes that led to problems in the long run like funding the Mujahideen and a large Defeceit.
Also Obama is the only President who did not see a single year of over 3% GDP growth, and left office with 1% in his last quater.
After cutting many Obama era regulations, Trump hit 3.2% GDP growth (the first time since 2008) in his first quarter as well as a Stock-Market boom immediately following his election.
Pubilius Syrus USSR was already failing by the time Regan got his second term and sure the military spending was part of that but most of it was because the Afghanistan war which lasted from 1981-1989 which wasted massive amounts of money and resources that the USSR needed plus there was growing nationalism growing in the Soviet puppet states and im not saying that Regan didn't help with that but the point is the USSR was already on the way out
Reagan - War on drugs
Trump - War on morality
Let's all just form a smoke circle and be friends
2021 update: Trump is the only president in US history to instigate an insurrection actually IN the United States
If you took the same amount of time you did to bash trump and Reagan as you did to draw your map of the United States, you would be an artist.
He mentioned the bad and good about presidents from both sides? I think you're taking the criticisms of republicans harsher than democrats from the video. Which, I guess is reasonable if you align as a republican, but he did mention the awful things that happened during Obamas term as well.
Ridley Skellian no, he mentioned hardly any bad things about the dems and only bad things about the republicans
I sense a bias with this one! Reagan was an amazing president, who really helped the economy after Nixon destroyed it
Arming the islamist in Afghanistan was a pretty bad decision though.
