Its not factual in one respect! Blue was used to represent Republicans up until recent times. Some time after Ronald Reagan, Democratic bias within the media changed the colors that represent the Democrats from Red because of the use of the Communist term REDS to describe the policies and politics of the Democratic Party. Without ever saying one word, the entire NEWS media changed the colors from Red to Blue overnight, in yet another example of Social Engineering to manipulate the population. Today nobody even remembers that taking place except a few who recognize what is gong on around them for what it is! Dumbing down of the American People through its education system which is now nothing more than an "Indoctrination System" has taken its toll. We have become delusional in what we feel, and Reality has no bearing on thought any longer :(
@@maxbentley9162 i was alive and involved in politics at the time. Like i said, if you go back and watch actual news footage from the time, Republicans had been BLUE. If you watch a recently made rewritten history version, it will show red. So FACTUALLY, the people of this and prior decades are being manipulated to believe false premises that then become thr basis of thier belief. The original documentation proves this! In the past, when Persia,Egypt, Rome, and even modern day Germany did not want the facts to be known, they would eliminate facts pertaining to that such as monuments, writings, even carved images were destroyed and removed from view until that knowledge became forgotten. Today their is a push to misrepresent or even eliminate knowlefge about a war fought by the Democratic party, predominately in the south, to keep slavery alive! Again those facts are almost daily news! As recent as 1960s this hatred and racism, perpetrated by the Democratic Party, was still daily national news as democratic govrnors in such states as Alabama and Mississippi etc, used local law enforcement and State Troopers to attack the civil rights movement. President Johnson, in order to pass the Civil Rights Act, had to abandon his hate filled Democratic Party and go to the Republicans to get the bill passed! These truths are no longer taught by the liberal based education system and the knowledge is being forgotten. Soon, with the liberal backed media, no one will rember that it has been Republicans that have always fought for freedom, and librrals who fought against it. Its easy to look up. But only if you go back to the original information to find. The truth is being buried to hide these acts, and lies are being taught as truth. But if you do not look, you will never see! Nothing more needs to be said, as the truth is out there and speaks for itself once found! But the lies are placed within your lap in the hopes you are to lazy, uneducated, or biased, to get up and find reality! :)

@@akzebraminer There will come a time when he isn't PM though. Even if he retires instead of losing an election. The most likely next non-Tory PM is a Labour one.
Not flipped in ideology, just flipped geographically. It's a common misconception that both parties did a complete flip. There are extremely easy counter arguments to make on that point, such as Widrow Wilson's foreign policy, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover's strong belief in capitalism, FDR's belief in big government, and the like.
+Global Warming Skeptic Well actually that's not true there was an ideological flip as well. Specifically when it comes to the principles of progressiveness. It was, however, different party's entirely which is where the confusion comes in. While they were "Republicans" they aren't the same republicans we see today. They were Radical Republicans pushing for change in ways often viewed on as radical and progressive by their days standards. What we saw changing in the 30s and finally solidified as today's modern Republican Party with Reagan has changed completely from the party's original purpose which is partially why it was so confusing what the party genuinely stood for before Reagan. Civil war era democrats were remarkably similar, however, to modern conservative republicans with principals such as tradition and maintaining course in the country strongly opposing progressive thinking and change in society a direct conflict with its modern message.
Asher Lanzone It's not confusing at all. It is confusing because Liberals always try and rewrite history. They equate a geographical flip with an ideological one, which is not the case. That's not to say that the parties haven't changed, but they haven't changed as much as you think they have. Again, Woodrow Wilson supported the League of Nations and was pro immigration. This today would be just as progressive as anything, supporting strong alliances with European nations. As also stated, there is the Coolidge-Hoover era where Republicans were very similar to how they are today: Anti-Immigration, Pro Market, while the Democrats were the pro immigration party, which is why they got routed from 1920-1932. Further evidence of this: Look at FDR, known as the father of Progressivism. Guess where he won the highest percentage of voters? The South. If your logic of an ideological flip were real, the South would have remained conservative and voted for the Republican Hoover or Landon, but states like South Carolina voted for FDR at a rate of 90%. And then there's the McCarthy era, where he was strongly opposed to the New Deal and socialist policies in general. This was well before the 1960s when Liberals say the "flip" happened. So again, there was no ideological flip, and the historical evidence demonstrates this.
Global Warming Skeptic I appreciate your thought out argument, but I would like to assert that Woodrow Wilson acted purely on economic pressures following World War 1 to make sure that something of a similar magnitude would never happen again, and I would also like to point out that we did not even after that join the League of Nations diminishing its backbone one of the most key reasons it failed. And to say that FDR won both the Northern and Southern states initially off of principal is a fallacy it was coming off of a steaming post Civil War era. The South refused to associate in any way with Northern Republicans because of their role in the Civil War. FDR won the South out of hatred for Republicans and the north by promising change among other things that appealed to a majority of American citizens at the time. This lead to a strong victory by FDR. I said initially because his second and subsequent elections all were won off of the success he had in office making some of the most approved of change in American history partially because of his ability to control both sides of the isle. During his presidency ideological mindsets caught up with the political reality and a "flip" occurred in the North and South. Now again the republican party did not adopt former Democratic policy but instead its own brand of being merely the opposite of the Northern party who then changed to be based off of a far more liberal mindset.
Actually Calvin College was the only winning Republican not to carry Wisconsin who's name wasn't Bush. Wisconsin kind of ruined it that year if it had gone to Coolidge he would have won everything outside the fmr Confederacy while losing everything in it.

North vs south. When red comes in is when Abraham Lincoln comes in as the founder of the Republican Party. The north fought the Democrat south and yet people claim it was the opposite nowadays.
Living in Minnesota, I can tell you that Reagan could’ve won it if he appeared a couple more times to campaign (1984)...I suppose Reagan knew he would slaughter Mondale, so I believe he may have allowed him to win his own state, to save some shred of dignity...nonetheless, It was a close call.
@Jonathan Froger If you watched the video you'd see the specter of the civil war and race in most elections. Other than his home state the only Goldwater wins were in the first tier of succeeding states. A similar voting block occurred in 48 and 68. The candidates who pulled off these moves were the old school racists George Wallace and Strom Thurmond (one of those 2 of 22 you cite). This is not hard, Fox News' own internal research found a majority of its viewers were strongly in favor of massive socialist programs even widespread support for the Warren wealth tax. This is why tough guy 8 0'clock Sean Hannity can't beat bowtie sissy Tucker Carlson. It was the conservatives only path to victory after thirty plus years of the greatest prosperity in mankind's history.
It existed there were just way more of them, it went from pretty much every state with 20+ electoral votes in the 60s to Florida Pennsylvania and Ohio today.
Ezekiel Pina your vote doesn't matter anymore delegates pre-choose your decision, and now the cooperates have forced an eduational and societal norm to follow the two party system.
Up until 1996 (between the beginning of the Civil Rights movement and 2000), the vast majority of the states are more or less competitive. A relatively small (still a landslide) victory in the popular vote results in massive electoral college blowouts. You can see a massive swing in how the states flip in a relatively short time frame.
Documentary101 Yeah, the only Republican presidential candidate who would win Ohio yet lose the election was Richard Nixon in 1960. It’s a well-known fact.
@Omar Omar realistically would he even have been removed? You need a 2/3 senate majority to remove a president and did Nixon seriously not have at least 33 or 34 people in the senate who liked him? He would have to be the least popular president in history.
switch player 101 watergate was too large of a scandal. Any Congressman who supported him would’ve been voted out in their next election, it’s really a shame because apart from watergate Nixon was actually a pretty good president, and watergate wouldn’t have made a difference in his re-election, he would’ve won in a landslide either way
@Derek Hitt oof and most democratic run cities at the moment are burning so id say the democrats have fallen pretty far considering there only noticeable quality is a hatred for everything trump and white so i would say thats who you want gunning your country, tbh id rather have someone in the middle that can make compromises and not this 1 side get there way politics is a compromise cuase then almost half the people are unhappy and hold resentment for the other half what if nobody wins but nobody loses but everyone gets there fair share
Well if you look at the civil war it was divided them ww2 kinda put it back together now the media does nothing but lies puahing an agenda at this point in time trump will get a re election thanks to the crazies in the democratic party
1:58 Why did the same electorate vote for Eisenhower and then Johnson in the span of 8 years, with only the South disagreeing. Not to mention Nixon was Ike's VP. I don't think Eisenhower/Nixon were closer in policy to Kennedy/LBJ than Adlai Stevenson (or earlier dems), so what gives? It seems that the parties kinda started switching platforms on the 1890's with WJB, but the North/South themselves switched ideologies by the 1960's....
What's interesting is how little the electoral map has changed in last 16 years. If Trump wins, the map will look a hell of a lot like 2000 or 2004, and if Clinton wins, the map will look a hell of a lot like 2008 or 2012.
WillyTheComposer True. As long as Trump stays true to his promises, and knocks the shit out of ISIS then in 4 years I don't see how he loses those former Bush states
2:00 wrong. So Alabama is a split between Byrd and Kennedy, Georgia and South Carolina both went to JFK, Byrd won 1 electoral vote out of Oklahoma, and also Louisiana went to Kennedy.
I love how in 1972, Massachusetts was just like “Not. Gonna. Happen.” It really just makes it hilarious to see one state just act like Nixon was a bad person, which he was. And yes, I am from Massachusetts. Don’t criticize me.
yeah. nixon's agenda was normal for his party, but how he got his victory made him a pretty bad person...(i think, dont judge me because i dont know anything about nixon's rule)
The deep South was really lost politically for some time after their beloved Democratic party finally rejected jim crow. Starting in 1964 they voted Republican, then Independent Racist, then Republican, then Democratic, then finally Republican.
@Jonathan Froger Tangled up in what exactly? Stop putting words in my mouth. I never said White Southerners weren't complicated human beings. I never said that the parties had a "big switch" either, because as you know that's a very innacurate term since many aspects of both parties (especially economic ones) have stayed consistent since the New Deal. No, I simply pointed out the fact that the Democratic party was, for the longest time, a southern-based vessel for white supremacy. I also noted that 1964 marked the first time since the whig party collapsed that the Deep South (Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, etc) became swing territory, and this was absolutely due to racial politics. That's just history, and if that offends you that's not my problem.
@Julian Payne Yes but 1964 was when the deep south (Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, etc) truly became a swing region in national elections. Prior to then these states hadn't voted republican since the end of reconstruction. And this was definitely due to racial politics. Edit: also I did include 1976 in my comment, I just didnt label the years :P
@Julian Payne 10% is a very, very, very narrow margin for the deep south considering it was a one-party region for a century. Carter carried his home state of Georgia by 33% while FDR, a Yankee, carried it by 92% in 1932. My point isn't that "Republicans are now the old Democrats" or anything foolish like that. Or that the political re-alignment of the south was sudden. Obviously local offices stayed Democratic even into the 2010's. My point was that the Democrats nationally speaking wanted civil rights as a platform, and the South would have none of it. If in 1964 the National Democratic party had said "We reject the doctrine of racial equality and wish to embrace segregation as an institution," the south would have never had a reason to re-evaluate who it votes for.
Description is wrong. 43 presidents have been elected, not 44. (Cleveland was elected as our 22nd and 24th president, after he was defeated by Benjamin Harrison after his first term)
zigmeala not even 43, because some presidents were vice presidents who became president by default. For example, when Lincoln died, Johnson took over, but was never elected
the 1836 election there is a typo. it says magnum, which would of definitely been a cool name for a past president, but it was mangum. Willie Person Mangum.

You probably didn’t notice but in 2018 Beto o rouke almost unseated Ted cruz and only lost by 2pts and it’s not just because of the unpopularity of Trump and Cruz combined it’s because the growing liberal and Latino population growing in the state. Sooner Texas will turn blue if demographics continue at the rate it’s going now.
2018 senate race
Cruz: 51%
Beto O’ Rouke: 48.8%
If you are a Republican winning with this type of margin I wouldn’t be still saying Texas is a safe red state.

A slight error on this map: In the 1976 election Carter was the candidate who won Ohio.

at 1:36 the irony is real.. the union is red confed is blue
Because Democrats and Republicans were completely flipped in ideology back then compared to where they are now.
Not flipped in ideology, just flipped geographically. It's a common misconception that both parties did a complete flip. There are extremely easy counter arguments to make on that point, such as Widrow Wilson's foreign policy, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover's strong belief in capitalism, FDR's belief in big government, and the like.
+Global Warming Skeptic Well actually that's not true there was an ideological flip as well. Specifically when it comes to the principles of progressiveness. It was, however, different party's entirely which is where the confusion comes in. While they were "Republicans" they aren't the same republicans we see today. They were Radical Republicans pushing for change in ways often viewed on as radical and progressive by their days standards. What we saw changing in the 30s and finally solidified as today's modern Republican Party with Reagan has changed completely from the party's original purpose which is partially why it was so confusing what the party genuinely stood for before Reagan. Civil war era democrats were remarkably similar, however, to modern conservative republicans with principals such as tradition and maintaining course in the country strongly opposing progressive thinking and change in society a direct conflict with its modern message.
Asher Lanzone It's not confusing at all. It is confusing because Liberals always try and rewrite history. They equate a geographical flip with an ideological one, which is not the case.
That's not to say that the parties haven't changed, but they haven't changed as much as you think they have.
Again, Woodrow Wilson supported the League of Nations and was pro immigration. This today would be just as progressive as anything, supporting strong alliances with European nations. As also stated, there is the Coolidge-Hoover era where Republicans were very similar to how they are today: Anti-Immigration, Pro Market, while the Democrats were the pro immigration party, which is why they got routed from 1920-1932.
Further evidence of this: Look at FDR, known as the father of Progressivism. Guess where he won the highest percentage of voters? The South.
If your logic of an ideological flip were real, the South would have remained conservative and voted for the Republican Hoover or Landon, but states like South Carolina voted for FDR at a rate of 90%.
And then there's the McCarthy era, where he was strongly opposed to the New Deal and socialist policies in general. This was well before the 1960s when Liberals say the "flip" happened.
So again, there was no ideological flip, and the historical evidence demonstrates this.
Global Warming Skeptic I appreciate your thought out argument, but I would like to assert that Woodrow Wilson acted purely on economic pressures following World War 1 to make sure that something of a similar magnitude would never happen again, and I would also like to point out that we did not even after that join the League of Nations diminishing its backbone one of the most key reasons it failed. And to say that FDR won both the Northern and Southern states initially off of principal is a fallacy it was coming off of a steaming post Civil War era. The South refused to associate in any way with Northern Republicans because of their role in the Civil War. FDR won the South out of hatred for Republicans and the north by promising change among other things that appealed to a majority of American citizens at the time. This lead to a strong victory by FDR. I said initially because his second and subsequent elections all were won off of the success he had in office making some of the most approved of change in American history partially because of his ability to control both sides of the isle. During his presidency ideological mindsets caught up with the political reality and a "flip" occurred in the North and South. Now again the republican party did not adopt former Democratic policy but instead its own brand of being merely the opposite of the Northern party who then changed to be based off of a far more liberal mindset.

I find it amazing how some states it can swing from one party to another in some states in such a short space of time.
@Jonathan Froger If you watched the video you'd see the specter of the civil war and race in most elections. Other than his home state the only Goldwater wins were in the first tier of succeeding states. A similar voting block occurred in 48 and 68. The candidates who pulled off these moves were the old school racists George Wallace and Strom Thurmond (one of those 2 of 22 you cite). This is not hard, Fox News' own internal research found a majority of its viewers were strongly in favor of massive socialist programs even widespread support for the Warren wealth tax. This is why tough guy 8 0'clock Sean Hannity can't beat bowtie sissy Tucker Carlson. It was the conservatives only path to victory after thirty plus years of the greatest prosperity in mankind's history.

Up until 1996 (between the beginning of the Civil Rights movement and 2000), the vast majority of the states are more or less competitive. A relatively small (still a landslide) victory in the popular vote results in massive electoral college blowouts. You can see a massive swing in how the states flip in a relatively short time frame.
Yep, I’m pretty sure West Virginia was still a swing state in 2000.

2:00 the beginning of the famous switch between the Republican North and the Democratic South and the initiation of the Southern Strategy.
The deep South was really lost politically for some time after their beloved Democratic party finally rejected jim crow. Starting in 1964 they voted Republican, then Independent Racist, then Republican, then Democratic, then finally Republican.
@Jonathan Froger Tangled up in what exactly? Stop putting words in my mouth. I never said White Southerners weren't complicated human beings. I never said that the parties had a "big switch" either, because as you know that's a very innacurate term since many aspects of both parties (especially economic ones) have stayed consistent since the New Deal. No, I simply pointed out the fact that the Democratic party was, for the longest time, a southern-based vessel for white supremacy. I also noted that 1964 marked the first time since the whig party collapsed that the Deep South (Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, etc) became swing territory, and this was absolutely due to racial politics. That's just history, and if that offends you that's not my problem.
@Julian Payne Yes but 1964 was when the deep south (Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, etc) truly became a swing region in national elections. Prior to then these states hadn't voted republican since the end of reconstruction. And this was definitely due to racial politics.
Edit: also I did include 1976 in my comment, I just didnt label the years :P
@Julian Payne 10% is a very, very, very narrow margin for the deep south considering it was a one-party region for a century. Carter carried his home state of Georgia by 33% while FDR, a Yankee, carried it by 92% in 1932. My point isn't that "Republicans are now the old Democrats" or anything foolish like that. Or that the political re-alignment of the south was sudden. Obviously local offices stayed Democratic even into the 2010's. My point was that the Democrats nationally speaking wanted civil rights as a platform, and the South would have none of it. If in 1964 the National Democratic party had said "We reject the doctrine of racial equality and wish to embrace segregation as an institution," the south would have never had a reason to re-evaluate who it votes for.
