Washington was a Federalist in everything but name, his "abstaining" from political parties was to appear as a neutral and clear minded party, and his PR has worked to the present day.
Except they all do. It's astounding how idiotic some Americans and foreigners are. All states DO matter because you have to get to that magic number 270 somehow and you need every single state you can get. This is what makes me laugh when people say the Electoral college isn't competitive. It literally forces candidates to campaign in states they otherwise wouldn't be incentivized to in a national popular vote. So Ohio doesn't determine elections, neither do swing states. Rather it's that every other state and its people make up their minds pretty early and these "swing" states like Ohio take a lot longer to decide. There's social, economical, political, and financial reasons for that, but that is a different discussion. People get a warped perspective that these states are the "real" states that determine elections when in reality they are just the last states/populations to make up their minds. For example you could throw an apple on the Democratic ticket and California would 9.99999/10 vote for whoever the Democrat for president was. Same thing for Republicans and Texas. So if anything your problem is with states that never change their minds or adapt their beliefs if they are presented a more logical or ethical solution to a problem. California would never support a Republican offering increases to medicare. Why? Because he has an (R) next to his name. Your problem is with ideologically hardened echo chambers. States like Ohio are proof that there are people in this country still open to hearing ALL sides out and using reasoning and logic to the best of their ability to decide which solution sounds the best for the country and for their individual lives. So just the reiterate, your problem is with states like California or Texas that never and virtually will never listen to an opposing political view. States like Ohio aren't the problem, they are proof that California and New York and Texas are too attached to party loyalty rather than who can provide the best argument for why their solutions and their policies will benefit the country more.
Nixon was quite popular among Democrats too due to his environmentalist, gun control, pro-diplomacy policy. His popularity only plunged after Watergate.
His opponent, George McGovern famously removed his first VP pick, Thomas Eagleton, due to mental health issues. This caused his popularity to plummet. There were other issues, but that was the big one.

There was no switch. The 1964 election was unique. Barry Goldwater supported the Civil Rights Act of 1957, but viewed the one in 1964 as a federal overreach. This gained him support in the South but costed him everywhere else. The majority of Congress and other political offices in the South were still blue, and they would remain blue for another 28 years.

@DuoDudes How would they not? The conservatives would be driving their cars paid for by working while the liberals would still be wondering why they haven't gotten free stuff yet.
I think this actually highlights one of the United States' greatest problems: the two-party system. There's little to no diversity in the elections. Red vs blue, black vs white. Even when Washington was elected in, he was essentially elected in as a dictator typically is: no competition. Was Washington a dictator? No. Did he deserve the position? Yes. But it absolutely highlights the biggest problem with American politics.
It is going to take generations to change that. America didn't just chose a two-party system. The two-party system is the result of First Past the Post voting system. Hopefully it does get changed within our lifetime though.
I'd say partially yes, but also no. There are issues with the two party system, however you're mistaken to look at our political system as "Red vs blue" or "the donkey vs the elephant." Our two parties have evolved to essentially become catch-all umbrellas that allow for changing and evolving what they believe in. And generally speaking most people, even independents, tend to lean towards one line of thought over the other. Maybe they're more libertarian, more conservative, more religious, more individualistic, more democratic, etc. When it really boils down to it, people realize they find more they agree with in one party over another. I do agree though that there should be more room between the middle and the Right or the middle and the Left.
There’s only two ways to fix it; ranked choice voting, or a switch to a proportional parliamentary democracy. Both would be incredibly difficult to implement, and one requires multiple constitutional amendments.
Political parties began forming in GW’s first Cabinet: Thomas Jefferson (Democratic Republicans) and Alexander Hamilton (Federalists). Washington sided with the Federalists and learned to actively despise Jefferson and his ilk.
It sucks not being able to express my right wing political opinion in middle school. There's more conservatives in the younger generations than the media likes to put out.

It's only in modern times people started hating on Reagan hardcore.
Yes. Just picture that during the times of the Civil War, it was the democrats who opposed the freeing of slaves, and the Republicans who finally freed them.
Keep in mind the ideological shift between the Republican party in those 100+ years though. The Republican party of Lincoln would be unrecognizable to the Republican party of today. Lincoln was in favor of a larger federal government and increased federal control over states. Fast forward to post-1964. The Civil Rights act passed, and the Republican party recruits members of the Democratic party who were angry over the deal, and helps siphon off support from the south. That, along with other recruiting efforts is known as Nixon's Southern Strategy, which gives you the solid red state south you see today.
@@patricioramosnegrete1192 Very misleading, both parties changed their policies over time and have since effectively swapped places. If you took a democrat from the civil war and brought them to modern times they would be a republican.
Why Trump when there were a ton more actual landslides? Trump won not because of the other regular red states, he won because of Florida and Pennsylvania. They are both 50/50 states, and each of the candidates have to fight for both more than anything else. That is what wins elections. The other states vote the same all elections. Florida has since drew towards the democrat side after Trump got inaugurated, so there is a big chance he will lose in 2020.
Trump was winning in the popular vote before California was factored in. It was due to the polarization of certain states that the popular vote was so different in this election.
Gregory Powell The founders made it a electoral college on purpose you have to remember the united states is technically 50 small countrys coming together as one.

@@tomatop6754 Oh yay finally someone willing to debate the electoral college. No. No it isn't. It's just as much "50 countries" as Canada is "13 countries" or England is "48 countries". There's a national military, a national currency, a national citizenship, a national vote, national welfare programs, national security, national commerce, and national taxation. At one point you could make the argument that it is a country of countries, but since federalization politics has swept the role of the government, it is not anymore. If you can point to a significant enough difference between United States state government and provincial governments of other nations, I congratulate you.
@@tomatop6754 Also Cali wouldn't control politics if there was a direct vote. It is 12% of the population, and you would be hard pressed to get all of them to agree on anything anyhow.

Lets also not forget that the OP is correct, there are different issues varying by state and county. One problem may not exist in another place.
Because McGovern was retarded... many forget that. People always autistic screech about the "southern strategy", but fail to mention that Nixon made huge gains in Democratic areas. Many lay Democrats at the time voted for Nixon, not because they loved him, but because they were pissed at the dipshit hippies and McGovern just sucking. Nixon actually won the NYC borough of Queens to give you some perspective. Then going on to win nearly 59% of NY. Additionally, he won countless other Democrat enclaves, such as Fulton County (Atlanta), which haven't been won ever again by a Republican, including in Reagan's 84' landslide.
“However political parties may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.” -George Washington We have failed not only him, but ourselves.
@@daltonmiller5590 the problem that Washington and some of the others Fathers saw, was that large government prompted the creation of parties to navigate the murky waters. When the government sought to grow bigger, the parties became stronger and more and more of our power was relinquished.
@theubergamer67 The reason Washington didn't want these parties is evident with John Adams. With his Judiciary Act right before Jefferson's inaguration, the Supreme Court could not cooperate as how Jefferson wanted it to be, all based on political parties.
Ok for all those here in the comments struggling to grasp the change of American political landscape let me explain: The Democratic Party was founded in 1828 as a successor to the Democratic-Republican Party and emphasised small government, states' rights and opposed industrialisation and national banks. It also came to support slavery. The Republican Party on the other hand was founded in 1854 in opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act and slavery. After the end of the Civil War and Reconstruction Democrats implemented racial segregation in southern states and promoted racist and white supremacy views, the Republican's focus meanwhile shifted away from racial issues towards the economy, trade and foreign policy. The political shift started slowly in the late 1800s when Democrats nominated William Jennings Bryan as their presidential candidate in 1896. Under his three runs for president the Democrats remained conservative on social issues but shifted to the left on economic one's. This trend continued under the presidency of Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) who was a staunch segregationist but embraced more liberal views on economic issues, for example abolishing child labour and introducing 8 hour work days. The Republicans on the other hand grew increasingly conservative regarding the economy and had with William Howard Taft, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover four, early 20th century presidents that supported laissez-faire capitalism. With the presidencies of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman we had twenty years of Democratic control of the white house and both of them supported economic regulation and social welfare while despising racial segregation, seen for example when Truman desegregated the military in 1948. The south, reliably Democratic since the 19th century, therefore started showing major cracks in its support for the party when southern Democrats launched their own, independent campaigns in 1948, 1960 and 1968. Republicans sought to capitalise on white southerners' frustration by appealing to conservatives in the elections of 1964 and 1968. This had the effect that the South started trending towards the GOP and the northeast towards the Democrats in national elections. This realignment process also took place on a state level but it took much longer to evolve because liberal Republicans like Thomas Dewey and Nelson Rockefeller dominated state politics in the north until the mid 1970s and conservative Democrats like Harry F. Byrd and George Wallace the south until the late 80s, early 90s.
The Big Switch is a lie, that never happened. The democratic party is against rural areas' interests, especially private owned lands, that's why they vote republican.
Truman wasn't though (he ended military segregation) and it's worth noting that the democrats did become more and more in favour of civil rights as time went on.
@@PowerPAOK that's true dude. I hate two-party systems. You can barely call it a democracy. It's more of a pseudo bi-oligarchy.

xochi hell yes. People only remember Nixon for the watergate now, but he was hands down one of the best presidents we’ve had, and was incredibly popular during his presidency. If you look at his election he beat the other guy in the biggest landslide up there. He did one stupid thing and that’s all anyone think of now, but if you look at his presidency, he is easily one of the best we have ever had. Kennedy is the reverse. He and his family were probably the most corrupt people in US history right alongside the Clintons. Hell, they were involved in the mafia, JFK’s dad was a bootlegger for the mob during prohibition, and was involved in all sorts of scummy stuff. They also had a daughter, JFK’s sister, who had some sort of disability and was socially impaired, so the family (heard it was mainly the dad but don’t know who all was in on it) had her forcibly lobotomized (illegal procedure involving cutting parts of the brain) which caused her to be a vegetable and put in an institution. They did this because they were embarrassed by her or something along those lines. It was for their image. His presidency in all honesty was in general a disappointment. He really was nothing but some dumb rich kid born into a scumbag family that stepped on others to get there way. His policy sucked, his handling of the war was a mess, all he did was cheat on his wife with sluts, and do extremely underhanded and corrupt stuff. Hell, he made his brother the Attorney General, which is you know, the guy who is supposed to be keeping the president accountable to the law.When people talk about people like the Clinton’s, the Epstein pedo ring, the wealthy, soulless, people, who step on the real America, the ones who actually hold this country up through hard, honest, work, they are talking about people like the Kennedy’s.

I'm generally not a fan of conservative ideas and with that guy, people are either pro-trump or anti-trump. That's how divided society is today and I hope we will become less divided like that in the future.

And for good reason,the rest of us are tired of big city folk telling the rest of the country how to live,what to pay etc etc We need an electoral college protection for the counties. IE/: Ca. Ny. Wa. All run by the know it all idiots in the cities.
In many of those old election the maps were much lighter shades of either color, people were more moderate and open to new ideas 30-40 years ago making almost all states competitive. Nowadays politics are too divided and most Americans settle prominently into one of two camps, it’s sad really.
I noticed that too. The country would flip radically in almost every election. Now it barely changes at all. I think it must have something to do with the rise of cable and the internet. Everyone thinks they’re experts on everything now, so God forbid they listen to someone with a different opinion.
Both parties were rather similar (right-leaning) up until the civil rights movement. There wasn't much debate about the current issues, and the common enemy was communism.
Patricio Ramos Negrete the Democrat party had been pretty left-leaning as far back as FDR when he centralized and expanded the federal government tremendously. He had a Democrat majority in Congress and reigned for 12 years as executive, and the only branch that was placing boundaries on his New Deal government expansion was the Supreme Court so he tried to stack the Supreme Court to seal his power like the Democrats are doing today, but his own party in congress stopped him. After that and WW2, the conservative movement began because the Republican Party was following him to the far left, and conservatives began to press the Republican Party to move to the right and limited government which didn’t happen until Reagan. So I think the polarization of our politics began with the Great Depression as Democrats saw that as their opportunity to take control and move to the left.
It's not necessarily that people's opinions have changed radically, rather it has more to do with the increasing acceptance of the Republicans in the South and a lot of Democrats moving to the cities in the north as work dried up in the countryside. There's also the matter of some minor third parties in the North like the Progressives joining up with the Dems, and the Republicans' decision to withdraw their support for abortion, which made them popular with rural evangelicals.
The same map but with the actual voter proportions would be awesome. I mean just look at the most recent Trump vs Hillary map. Nearly anything is red, but Blue has more votes.
"Land doesn't vote, people do" We have a huge majority of Democrats and left-of-center independents in the US which is why the GOP won't allow us to get rid of the electoral college. That's their only path to victory.
@@IronMaidenDoD Yes based on voter counts both are, or were, nearly equal. But on the map it looks like red has much more voters, despite the fact that they have less. That's why i said it would be nice to see a map were voting districts have a size based on how many people actually live there.

It's like the Ben garrison comic: *gets kicked by democrat* I'll vote Republican next time! *gets kicked by republican* I'll vote democrat now! Hope Trump reforms the 2 party system. America is really a sick man of politics, the founding fathers would have never allowed this.
He only won because RFK was assassinated to be real. And before that he won because a third party formed in opposition to the civil rights act. He got really lucky twice in a row.
Since 2000 there is a constant division between rural and urban areas, coastal states and landlocked states, rich and poor , blue states and red states. Also it's obvious that the greatest economic damage is within the midwestern states which brings them more and more close to the Republicans (and Trump Republicanism).
There's been a subtle switch of the parties because of Trump mainly. You're seeing the GOP catering more to the working class while the Democrats are winning over the Country Club/Coastal elites more now than ever. Used to be the opposite. Compare Bill Clinton's campaign in '92 compared to Democrats running currently. A lot of things Clinton said mirror some of the things Trump has said.

On the contrary, electoral college helps in these situations, in my opinion. If the popular vote would've been the only one, Democrats would've been in power most of the time now simply because they are popular in densely populated cities. Basically, without electoral college, the residents of rural areas get fucked over.
I like how there's that large conglomerate of counties in Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina who have been voting very strongly Republican the entire time since the party's existence.
In the 1864 election Tennessee is grayed out on the right because they’re part of the confederacy, but the map on the left has Lincoln winning that state... Louisiana too. Why is that?
This is really cool and I enjoyed it and appreciate it.. would like to see it in actual electoral college results bc it looks like here it’s showing the districts, which I think is cool too.
@@thesilliestgoose5990 true. However, when a president lets the economy fail and barely tries to do anything about it, the people are going to want to elect someone from a different party.

It's because Reagan was highly popular in Texas. Contrary to what many think, Texas is easily the most purple state in the South after Florida, with huge urban populations and a large hispanic population from the very beginning. Ironically, Reagan himself paved the way for Texas' likely flipping back to blue, by giving amnesty to millions of illegals and making immigration from Mexico easier. The hope was this would sell the GOP to the Hispanic community, but it turned out that loyalty only lasted as long as Reagan himself. Ever since Bush Sr. the Republican hold in Texas has been slowly weakening, largely thanks to Hispanic defections to the Dems. I find it fascinating, it will be interesting to see if it flips blue in 2024, the expected flip election.

Washington was a Federalist in everything but name, his "abstaining" from political parties was to appear as a neutral and clear minded party, and his PR has worked to the present day.
The rest of the America: Every state gets a say in presidential elections!
Ohio: *Who decided that?*
Except they all do. It's astounding how idiotic some Americans and foreigners are. All states DO matter because you have to get to that magic number 270 somehow and you need every single state you can get. This is what makes me laugh when people say the Electoral college isn't competitive. It literally forces candidates to campaign in states they otherwise wouldn't be incentivized to in a national popular vote. So Ohio doesn't determine elections, neither do swing states. Rather it's that every other state and its people make up their minds pretty early and these "swing" states like Ohio take a lot longer to decide. There's social, economical, political, and financial reasons for that, but that is a different discussion.
People get a warped perspective that these states are the "real" states that determine elections when in reality they are just the last states/populations to make up their minds. For example you could throw an apple on the Democratic ticket and California would 9.99999/10 vote for whoever the Democrat for president was. Same thing for Republicans and Texas.
So if anything your problem is with states that never change their minds or adapt their beliefs if they are presented a more logical or ethical solution to a problem. California would never support a Republican offering increases to medicare. Why? Because he has an (R) next to his name. Your problem is with ideologically hardened echo chambers. States like Ohio are proof that there are people in this country still open to hearing ALL sides out and using reasoning and logic to the best of their ability to decide which solution sounds the best for the country and for their individual lives. So just the reiterate, your problem is with states like California or Texas that never and virtually will never listen to an opposing political view. States like Ohio aren't the problem, they are proof that California and New York and Texas are too attached to party loyalty rather than who can provide the best argument for why their solutions and their policies will benefit the country more.

Nixon was quite popular among Democrats too due to his environmentalist, gun control, pro-diplomacy policy. His popularity only plunged after Watergate.
His opponent, George McGovern famously removed his first VP pick, Thomas Eagleton, due to mental health issues. This caused his popularity to plummet. There were other issues, but that was the big one.

I think this actually highlights one of the United States' greatest problems: the two-party system. There's little to no diversity in the elections. Red vs blue, black vs white. Even when Washington was elected in, he was essentially elected in as a dictator typically is: no competition. Was Washington a dictator? No. Did he deserve the position? Yes. But it absolutely highlights the biggest problem with American politics.
It is going to take generations to change that. America didn't just chose a two-party system. The two-party system is the result of First Past the Post voting system. Hopefully it does get changed within our lifetime though.
I'd say partially yes, but also no. There are issues with the two party system, however you're mistaken to look at our political system as "Red vs blue" or "the donkey vs the elephant." Our two parties have evolved to essentially become catch-all umbrellas that allow for changing and evolving what they believe in. And generally speaking most people, even independents, tend to lean towards one line of thought over the other. Maybe they're more libertarian, more conservative, more religious, more individualistic, more democratic, etc. When it really boils down to it, people realize they find more they agree with in one party over another.
I do agree though that there should be more room between the middle and the Right or the middle and the Left.
There’s only two ways to fix it; ranked choice voting, or a switch to a proportional parliamentary democracy.
Both would be incredibly difficult to implement, and one requires multiple constitutional amendments.

Hence Urban Areas vs. Rural Areas
Yes. Just picture that during the times of the Civil War, it was the democrats who opposed the freeing of slaves, and the Republicans who finally freed them.
Keep in mind the ideological shift between the Republican party in those 100+ years though. The Republican party of Lincoln would be unrecognizable to the Republican party of today. Lincoln was in favor of a larger federal government and increased federal control over states.
Fast forward to post-1964. The Civil Rights act passed, and the Republican party recruits members of the Democratic party who were angry over the deal, and helps siphon off support from the south. That, along with other recruiting efforts is known as Nixon's Southern Strategy, which gives you the solid red state south you see today.

Because McGovern was retarded... many forget that. People always autistic screech about the "southern strategy", but fail to mention that Nixon made huge gains in Democratic areas. Many lay Democrats at the time voted for Nixon, not because they loved him, but because they were pissed at the dipshit hippies and McGovern just sucking. Nixon actually won the NYC borough of Queens to give you some perspective. Then going on to win nearly 59% of NY. Additionally, he won countless other Democrat enclaves, such as Fulton County (Atlanta), which haven't been won ever again by a Republican, including in Reagan's 84' landslide.

@@daltonmiller5590 He even said it in his farewell address that political parties would divide the nation. It's sad how it turned out
@@daltonmiller5590 the problem that Washington and some of the others Fathers saw, was that large government prompted the creation of parties to navigate the murky waters. When the government sought to grow bigger, the parties became stronger and more and more of our power was relinquished.
@theubergamer67 The reason Washington didn't want these parties is evident with John Adams. With his Judiciary Act right before Jefferson's inaguration, the Supreme Court could not cooperate as how Jefferson wanted it to be, all based on political parties.
@@daltonmiller5590 Washington was a smart man
Ok for all those here in the comments struggling to grasp the change of American political landscape let me explain:
The Democratic Party was founded in 1828 as a successor to the Democratic-Republican Party and emphasised small government, states' rights and opposed industrialisation and national banks. It also came to support slavery.
The Republican Party on the other hand was founded in 1854 in opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act and slavery.
After the end of the Civil War and Reconstruction Democrats implemented racial segregation in southern states and promoted racist and white supremacy views, the Republican's focus meanwhile shifted away from racial issues towards the economy, trade and foreign policy.
The political shift started slowly in the late 1800s when Democrats nominated William Jennings Bryan as their presidential candidate in 1896. Under his three runs for president the Democrats remained conservative on social issues but shifted to the left on economic one's. This trend continued under the presidency of Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) who was a staunch segregationist but embraced more liberal views on economic issues, for example abolishing child labour and introducing 8 hour work days.
The Republicans on the other hand grew increasingly conservative regarding the economy and had with William Howard Taft, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover four, early 20th century presidents that supported laissez-faire capitalism.
With the presidencies of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman we had twenty years of Democratic control of the white house and both of them supported economic regulation and social welfare while despising racial segregation, seen for example when Truman desegregated the military in 1948. The south, reliably Democratic since the 19th century, therefore started showing major cracks in its support for the party when southern Democrats launched their own, independent campaigns in 1948, 1960 and 1968. Republicans sought to capitalise on white southerners' frustration by appealing to conservatives in the elections of 1964 and 1968.
This had the effect that the South started trending towards the GOP and the northeast towards the Democrats in national elections.
This realignment process also took place on a state level but it took much longer to evolve because liberal Republicans like Thomas Dewey and Nelson Rockefeller dominated state politics in the north until the mid 1970s and conservative Democrats like Harry F. Byrd and George Wallace the south until the late 80s, early 90s.
Their was never a switch. Stop spreading myths
The Big Switch is a lie, that never happened. The democratic party is against rural areas' interests, especially private owned lands, that's why they vote republican.
pretty spot on
Truman wasn't though (he ended military segregation) and it's worth noting that the democrats did become more and more in favour of civil rights as time went on.
So, democrats who disagreed with the current direction of the party switched to a party that might be more hospitable to their racist views?

Zachary Buckley would you rather have Nixon?
xochi hell yes. People only remember Nixon for the watergate now, but he was hands down one of the best presidents we’ve had, and was incredibly popular during his presidency. If you look at his election he beat the other guy in the biggest landslide up there. He did one stupid thing and that’s all anyone think of now, but if you look at his presidency, he is easily one of the best we have ever had. Kennedy is the reverse. He and his family were probably the most corrupt people in US history right alongside the Clintons. Hell, they were involved in the mafia, JFK’s dad was a bootlegger for the mob during prohibition, and was involved in all sorts of scummy stuff. They also had a daughter, JFK’s sister, who had some sort of disability and was socially impaired, so the family (heard it was mainly the dad but don’t know who all was in on it) had her forcibly lobotomized (illegal procedure involving cutting parts of the brain) which caused her to be a vegetable and put in an institution. They did this because they were embarrassed by her or something along those lines. It was for their image. His presidency in all honesty was in general a disappointment. He really was nothing but some dumb rich kid born into a scumbag family that stepped on others to get there way. His policy sucked, his handling of the war was a mess, all he did was cheat on his wife with sluts, and do extremely underhanded and corrupt stuff. Hell, he made his brother the Attorney General, which is you know, the guy who is supposed to be keeping the president accountable to the law.When people talk about people like the Clinton’s, the Epstein pedo ring, the wealthy, soulless, people, who step on the real America, the ones who actually hold this country up through hard, honest, work, they are talking about people like the Kennedy’s.

In many of those old election the maps were much lighter shades of either color, people were more moderate and open to new ideas 30-40 years ago making almost all states competitive. Nowadays politics are too divided and most Americans settle prominently into one of two camps, it’s sad really.
I noticed that too. The country would flip radically in almost every election. Now it barely changes at all. I think it must have something to do with the rise of cable and the internet. Everyone thinks they’re experts on everything now, so God forbid they listen to someone with a different opinion.
agreed
Both parties were rather similar (right-leaning) up until the civil rights movement. There wasn't much debate about the current issues, and the common enemy was communism.
Patricio Ramos Negrete the Democrat party had been pretty left-leaning as far back as FDR when he centralized and expanded the federal government tremendously. He had a Democrat majority in Congress and reigned for 12 years as executive, and the only branch that was placing boundaries on his New Deal government expansion was the Supreme Court so he tried to stack the Supreme Court to seal his power like the Democrats are doing today, but his own party in congress stopped him. After that and WW2, the conservative movement began because the Republican Party was following him to the far left, and conservatives began to press the Republican Party to move to the right and limited government which didn’t happen until Reagan. So I think the polarization of our politics began with the Great Depression as Democrats saw that as their opportunity to take control and move to the left.
It's not necessarily that people's opinions have changed radically, rather it has more to do with the increasing acceptance of the Republicans in the South and a lot of Democrats moving to the cities in the north as work dried up in the countryside. There's also the matter of some minor third parties in the North like the Progressives joining up with the Dems, and the Republicans' decision to withdraw their support for abortion, which made them popular with rural evangelicals.
The same map but with the actual voter proportions would be awesome.
I mean just look at the most recent Trump vs Hillary map. Nearly anything is red, but Blue has more votes.
"Land doesn't vote, people do"
We have a huge majority of Democrats and left-of-center independents in the US which is why the GOP won't allow us to get rid of the electoral college. That's their only path to victory.
@@ghostkid252 exactly. It works in Germany too with actual voter proportions.
Theres not much of a difference between the red and blue team.
@@IronMaidenDoD Yes based on voter counts both are, or were, nearly equal. But on the map it looks like red has much more voters, despite the fact that they have less. That's why i said it would be nice to see a map were voting districts have a size based on how many people actually live there.

Since 2000 there is a constant division between rural and urban areas, coastal states and landlocked states, rich and poor , blue states and red states. Also it's obvious that the greatest economic damage is within the midwestern states which brings them more and more close to the Republicans (and Trump Republicanism).
There's been a subtle switch of the parties because of Trump mainly. You're seeing the GOP catering more to the working class while the Democrats are winning over the Country Club/Coastal elites more now than ever. Used to be the opposite. Compare Bill Clinton's campaign in '92 compared to Democrats running currently. A lot of things Clinton said mirror some of the things Trump has said.
@@bull864 idk about that,Clinton was way more of a globalist than trump,Clinton's Trade deals arent looked at positively either which was a major campaign goal for trump which he kind of fixed with a new Canada and Mexico trade deal
@@UrMom-jb7vl Yeah, Clinton was for sure, but when he campaigned in '92, it was as a Trump type candidate economy wise. Of course he ended up being a globalist and really screwed us.
crazy how all the near 50/50 splits look mostly red, just goes to show how the electoral college skews perspective
On the contrary, electoral college helps in these situations, in my opinion. If the popular vote would've been the only one, Democrats would've been in power most of the time now simply because they are popular in densely populated cities.
Basically, without electoral college, the residents of rural areas get fucked over.
I like how there's that large conglomerate of counties in Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina who have been voting very strongly Republican the entire time since the party's existence.
These people are true patriots, not the woke liberal clowns in New England/West Coast or some neo Confederates that still live in South.

That was mainly because of the Great Depression and how Hoover had decided not to do anything to help the economy back onto it's feet.
Silas Schiera Hoover did try, it’s just his plans to fix the depression weren’t very effective and deployed too late.
@@thesilliestgoose5990 true. However, when a president lets the economy fail and barely tries to do anything about it, the people are going to want to elect someone from a different party.
4:00 how do you loose an election this badly? To Nixon of all people.
You're looking at history with revisionist glasses. Watergate HAD NOT happened yet. Nixon was wildly popular in both parties because he supported gun control, believed in some forms of climate change legislation, etc.

Guys, we can all agree that George Washington was the best U.S president ever...

No, Lincoln is best. He see a country together.
Lincoln was a great president and did unite the country, but George Washington led the revolution for the INDEPENDENCE of the United States of America.
But that was when he was General, not president.

Maps like these always look so good for Republicans because in the rural/urban divide Republicans are more spread out while Democrats are really packed into urban areas.

Damn. Texas only stayed Red after 1984. They were like 90% blue in every election before that.
Party switch
Brandon Banks Don’t say that word. You might trigger... them.
It's because Reagan was highly popular in Texas. Contrary to what many think, Texas is easily the most purple state in the South after Florida, with huge urban populations and a large hispanic population from the very beginning. Ironically, Reagan himself paved the way for Texas' likely flipping back to blue, by giving amnesty to millions of illegals and making immigration from Mexico easier. The hope was this would sell the GOP to the Hispanic community, but it turned out that loyalty only lasted as long as Reagan himself. Ever since Bush Sr. the Republican hold in Texas has been slowly weakening, largely thanks to Hispanic defections to the Dems. I find it fascinating, it will be interesting to see if it flips blue in 2024, the expected flip election.
