The Abram Accords is the peace deal that Trump created to keep peace between Israel, Iran, Palestine, and other middle Eastern countries during his last term, then Biden brought war during his term. And we DO reward people for wars avoided, it's called the nobel peace prize, just not for Trump, because people hate him for literally no good discernable reason.

Personally, I think it's that public schooling handles it incredibly dryly and saps the life out of it for most people. You either need to be already interested or get lucky enough to have incredibly talented teachers. That's how it was for me. In grade school I didn't care one way or the other about history, but I had one good teacher that got me interested temporarily. Then it went back to being dull when I had other teachers. It wasn't until years after grade school that I realized I actually find history incredibly fascinating when I get to look into it at my own pace and interest, not be forced to do homework alongside a bunch of other subjects.

Yeah, Washington and JQ Adams are not at all morally equivalent on this issue and I think it's a bit misleading to group them together like in this video. Although Washington did free his slaves upon his death (or more accurately, upon his wife's death), he was also unique among many slaveowners in that he didn't have any children who could inherit his slaves. In my opinion, that one act does not make him anything like JQ Adams, who vehemently opposed slavery his entire career.

I assume you're saying that because of fear of a third Trump term? Funny thing is, I'm not sure that'll wind up mattering much, given his age. The bigger impacts were on 2000 and 2016, where I think both Clinton and Obama would have won reelection, instead of GWB and Trump. So if you're saying this as a lefty, I think it's actually been net harmful to your side in recent decades. The Republicans term limited out were GWB (who wouldn't have run in 2008 anyway due to unpopularity), Reagan (who would likely have won, but may not have run due to age/wanting to retire), and Eisenhower (ditto).

@@Alsadius I think that's true, and I tend to be skeptical of term limits in general. But Trump is not a normal Republican--he is a special case, given his known pattern of refusing to accept unfavorable election results and being willing to accept political violence to further that. But I'm not sure the term-limit amendment would be any more of an impediment to him than losing an election. He's openly stated in rallies that he doesn't think it applies to him, for reasons that are hard to parse. He could be hoping for a Supreme Court ruling nullifying it.

I think Grant gets a lot of crap for his lack of success when it came to reconstruction. Which to an extent I get, but with the way Johnson, the Democrats, and the South stacked the deck against any kind of meaningful or progressive reconstruction, it's kind of a wonder he was able to do anything at all. Basically, complaining that Grant couldn't complete the project of reconstruction is like pitting a AA rookie against an All Star pitcher then complaining when they only hit a single

On the basis of what? What makes her qualified? Because she knows history? So do 20yo history majors in college. Not everyone who can speak coherently needs to be aiming for the Presidency, and suggesting it sounds so ignorant. Besides, about a third of Americans looked at an intelligent, coherent American woman in November and said "nope" in favor of an increasingly senile old man who can never seem to complete a full sentence. "They sound smart" is clearly not what people are looking for in a president these days.

But Britain also have a FPTP system, even though they have a more fleshed out parliament. It's a rather bad example when it comes to parties having to co-operate, since that rarely happens in the UK. Despite the parliament having more parties than two, most often you have one party which manages to win a majority of the seats, despite not necessarily having a majority of the votes, quite like in the US. For exaple Labour in 2024 won 411 out of 650 seats, despite only getting 33,7% of the popular vote.

Yeah, I was thinking that we are notably a bad choice to point to for highlighting coalition governments as they are, historically, pretty rare, especially post-WWII. Germany might be a better example, as they have *only* had coalition governments since WWII. This being said, I reckon GE2029 will produce a coalition government, but at this point I don't know which way it will go. Either Con/RefUK or Lab/Lib seem most likely. I would say it's also possible that RefUK could be the second biggest party at the next election.

At 16:40, describing a tariff: it is an import tax. The entity importing (usually a business) is taxed. That increases their cost so usually that gets put into the price sold to consumers.

Exactly. A tariff on, say, Canadian goods won't cause any Canadian dollars to be paid across the border into the US. What it will do is make Canadian goods less competitive in US markets - it's a fairly crude thumb on the scale to warp market conditions, and invites the other country to retaliate with tariffs on US goods. Then, international trade becomes more expensive, and both economies take a hit.
