The origin of America's ugly politics
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2022
- Historian Jon Grinspan, a curator at the Smithsonian Institution, has studied how intense partisanship in the 19th century was driven by people feeling isolated, their lives unstable, feeding an aggressive, even violent political discourse - sound familiar? He talks with CBS News' John Dickerson about his new book, "The Age of Acrimony: How Americans Fought to Fix Their Democracy, 1865-1915," and how our nation's ugly trends in politics have returned, from partisan media to the white supremacists' march in Charlottesville and the January 6 insurrection.

It's not too suprising since it doesn't help how we still hadn't control our egos. Which is why we keep repeating history.
The best thing to do is to let go of our egos.
"A house divided against itself cannot stand". It's a good phrase then and it's a good phrase now.
True then, true now.
Matthew 12 . Lincoln repeated Bible passage
@@jeffkey5335 I know, but it's still good nonetheless.
It's sad that we're more divided than ever 😔
By design, by our real rulers.
I wish that before a campaign speech before the news media or a group of people, a politician should swear under oath that what he's uttering is the truth under the penalty of perjury. Why do we allow our politicians to tell lies ? Perhaps it's not the politicians' problem but the citizen voters. Just remember that these politicians have the power over our lives, they can send our sons and daughters to war, etc.
Do you honestly think that trump or any of his minions wouldn’t lie anyway?
@@SgtD1981 This proposal is providing the adverse effect of lying by politicians being charged with perjury.
politicians have change lying to "misinformation"
@@jc5247 If I have to select somebody to rule over my life in the form of taxes and law, send my sons and daughters to war, invade other nations, I should be given the correct and honest information on the character of this man or woman.
@@SgtD1981 oh I'm sure.....kind of giving tax credits for going electric and calling it the "inflation reduction act" 🤣 lmao
I can agree to disagree with anyone. I just want more people to vote. Only 40% of Hawaii's population voted in our last primary election.
THEY HAD A KING....SOVEREIGN...VOTED To KEEp COUNTRY... STILL.STOLE...Y VOTE???
You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink.
That's awesome turnout for a primary, if you got the numbers right.
If you don't know what's going on, please DON'T vote.
So do you want people to vote regardless of their intellectual capacity or to be honest their interest in what’s going on seriously?? People that don’t vote usually do it for a reason either they just don’t care, their sheep and just go along with the main stream CNN lies or they’re just so fed up knowing that it’s so corrupt that it just doesn’t matter
The American Civil War definitely cooled the passions of at least one side -- the defeated South -- in the 19th century. Hope we don't go that way as a country again.
I do think this republic is in its worst peril since 1860.
Started W A Y before Lincoln. Look @ what Jefferson & Adam's did to each other.
How odd. They were kind of good friends especially in their later years. But politics WAS just as dirty back then as it's ever been so fighting to win for your views meant having to get down in the mud.
@@tinaperez7393 As soon as Adam's ran for president Jefferson started in, Adam's recipricated.
It was really more Hamilton and Jefferson. Adams was unwillingly drug into it, and that eventually brought him and Jefferson into conflict....even though he couldn’t stand Hamilton. I feel bad for Adams in that point of time.
@@BillyBob-ec5ox totally agree with you. But I'm not talking about Washington administration. Adams & Jefferson totally agreed hated Hamilton.
The illusion of change persists .
Lies again? AIA Money USD SGD
Even the republicans realize they are more closed minded that’s too funny
When we was at school we were told our criminals were shipped abroad to Australia but this is not the true destination, most of our criminals (ime British by the way) were sent to the 13 colonies or now known as the United States of America 🇺🇸.
The nation that rebuilt Europe after WW2 with the Marshall Plan, put a man on the Moon, has the longest continuous democracy in the world, is a melting pot made up of peopel from every corner of the world, has the most top universities, most Nobel Prize winners, dominates tech, music, tv, film, has the largest economy, strongest military in the world, and provides the firepower for liberal democracies the United States of America 🇺🇸.
But in that era, the criminals being transported were poachers, or people who stole very paltry amounts (the people who stole more, or raped/murdered/committed arson etc were hanged).
@@stanbrown32 So basically our laws have become so sift you actually get rewarded now for committing crimes, if that were the case our governments would be like gangsters & get handy back handers & or even get xtra bonuses or massive payouts for doing terrible jobs or injustice against the general public, naa our system is not corrupt & protects Joe Bloggs civilian 🤔. But yeh you could've found yourself 1000s of miles away from home abroad somewhere for stealing tomatoes from a market stall.
Right now we have the illusion of choice, the left and right hand of the devil. See through it.
As always, expect Evil when the tax exemot parasite rich get involved. And they always get involved.
Rich...poor... not issue...
@Oliver Lopez it’s the biggest issue by far.
People who have bullied were all Republicans. Ergo, I avoid them.
Only four minutes?

POLITICIANS & INTEGRITY - $$$$
Most of the time as a politician stands up
Along with the truth, their brain sits down.
Promising anything and everything to anyone
While posing to the public, to be on common ground.
The higher the office the greater the corruption
As candidates compete for those dead presidents of green.
While we're taxed to death to fund their pork
Our cost for everything has become obscene.
Thank God there are some better than most
Not squeaky clean, but more honest than others.
Regardless of party, they deserve our vote
For they share our thoughts like sisters and brothers.
Politicians who wish to be revered by history
Must earn their fame by living the truth.
Any who continue to mislead and deceive
Must be shunned by the voter at the booth.
Sometimes we must go against the flow
Questioning what our shepherd’s may say.
For they are not God, only human
And for their integrity, we pray.

I love how they only focus on the modern turmoil caused by the right. The press behaving like this is exactly why we are so divided.
Check out the podcast ‘Rachel Maddow presents: Ultra’.
So scary, and yet…
We beat it back before. We can beat it again.
Beautiful History
One could argue that the indigenous people were true Americans.
There was lots of fighting in the US the 1950s, 60s and 70s as well as the 1890s
Whole civilizations have been rising and falling since before the Babylonian Empire.
Muricans
By indigenous, you mean native Siberians who migrated across the Bering Strait?
Lmao, ur always trying to trick indigenous. Judgment days alrdy here pretty much; ur all devils.
INDIGENOUS LAND WOOT, these guys will - always - be trickster devils. Enternity
The indigenous are the true Americans. No debate about it.
What kills me now is Americans, by our very nature, are optimistic. We take a lick or two but tend to stand back up and continue moving forward, always trying to make the best of the situation. This fighting will eventually pass, I have no doubt.
Like civil war...KILLING blacks N CHURCH. MARKET B UYING GROCERIES... LYNCHINGS
.
YEAH U DREAM
They are showing it hidden in plain sight. Look at those Roman Masonic symbols they use. Mithra worship, sun worship.
think of some had not be good and bad ones for a long time both side is sill fools thinking of mad had uesd now ,
A Fair and impartial piece lol.
Explain, then…
a more appropriate name is simply america or the states. there has never been anything united about the states of america
Forcibly uniting doesn't seem like a good idea anymore. We'd be better off if the states were countries like Europe.
@@lchaney lol and you ignore the fact that we’d just make an easier way of causing a genocide???
Why give life to a cynical viewpoint?
History always repeats itself because people don’t change. Today, thanks to NATO’s involvement in Ukraine NATO made Ukraine our Cuba.
This is a pretty wild take--Cuba was a repressive/corrupt Batista regime overthrown by a revolution ultimately co-opted by Communists; the nationalism of that revolution was anti-US imperialism. Ukraine, on the other hand, has had a revolution for open, liberal democracy, which is repugnant to the Putin regime.
@@stanbrown32 you mean like NATO building bio-research facilities and building up Ukraine's military isn't anything like the former Soviet Union did in Cuba? Ukraine is NATO'S Cuba.
@@barryhahn6419 This is Russian propaganda, without any basis in fact.
@@stanbrown32 The rah-rah, lets-enrich-Zelenskyy approach is the real propaganda. He's the biggest winner in this entire charade, and the Ukrainian people are the losers. The country is just a proxy for the West's continued beef with Russia.
@@americandirt7834 What evidence do you have that any of this enriches Zelensky?There was a time Americans took pride in supporting fights for freedom against tyranny. Putin is waging a genocidal terror against an unoffending neighbor---it is the responsibility of any great power to resist that kind of injustice.
If ignorance is bliss why aren't the MAGA cultists happier?
Ignorance might be bliss, but willful blindness and stupidity make one miserable. MAGAts are the latter.
Hahaha.... Good question! They certainly are ignorant.
They are. The tech Giants know better than anyone else, with all their data, that anger I mean "engagement" is addictive.
And humans are addicted to mental thought and behavioral patterns they repeat over and over again.
So in a sense addiction can be both miserable and destructive and trick people into liking it at the same time.
In other words, being angry and furious and upset is what makes them happy. Like feelings of victimization and injustice and wanting to own the libs, and us vs them, and feeling right and justified and validated in their anger and outrage and sense of injustice, and on and on.
Because the woke cultists are 1000X angrier, more violent, and have complete institutional support.
It ironic that cbs won’t accept their responsibility in this mess due to their own bias and lack of integrity
Que?
There's not a country nor ancient civilizations that hasn't had some sort of corruption or bad politics, dirty tricks, ruthless behavior or whatever WHO CARES it's unfortunate but at the same time we have it pretty good here overall compared to other places I love it here and proud to be an American so if we've had to make many mistakes to get here so be it we for the most part seem to learn from them we will continue to make mistakes or bad choices as long as we learn from em
Hate artificial love natural.white flour Mac and cheese.listeria found in cheesees
Ya that’s the big key though if we learn from them only as of now there is no indication that this division has peaked we will have a good idea next election the part that really pisses me off is the Republican Party could easily end this mayhem by propping up a new less divisive front runner but they won’t because they are greedy coward traitors
So give up? No
How about it goes back to the 3/5ths compromise and the Compromise of 1877, the MIssouri Compromise and the Lincoln Douglas debates? Not to mention the politics of the Democratic party being that of the South and the Confederates.
True..I 👍agree.. but look at repugnicans now: 200+ TIMES country voted ANTI LYNCHING. Texas (BIBLE BELT,? KY GA VOTED to maintain their RIGHT TO GET A ROPE FIND TREE.... 2 DIXIECRAT DEMS DIDN'T RESTRIXT REPUGS FROM;ASSISTING N LYNCHINGS BIPARTISAN

“Ugly” politics finds its roots and origins in America? LOL ..
That's funny?
🎭
- no, not origins of ugly politics in America. But America's roots and origins of ugly politics...
@@susansantana4454 absolutely.. **Unless you’ve never cracked open even a beginning-reader book on human history.. LOL **I won’t make it too hard to study for you and tell you not to go back 100s to thousands and thousands of years of politics with Asher Nadin Apli, Hippparchus, xerxes, etc etc..Or anything like that, but guys named Julius Caesar, King John, Henry viii, Louis xvi ring some bells? LOL
@@ebybeehoney Are you buying at some point it was never there? LOL It’s in humanity’s DNA.. that’s why the founders tried to establish a LIMITED form of government (and killed each other in duels attempting,. LOL).. So, this lame news vid trying to conclude its point to make you think “pssssssst - Donald Trump”... so, those who want to ABOLISH “America’s” constitutional-representative republic and limited government, use “Donald trump” as the boogeyman.. And anyone who tries to preserve our founding, or promote energy independence, sovereignty on our borders, foreign war entanglement, limited taxes and regulations that don’t run jobs out, and checks and balances on political spending.. , safe cities and law enforcement, these grifters living off YOUR tax dollars, paint as Trumps hobgoblin army.. (and I do t even care for him) .. Any challenges?
I think it´s time for a conversation about Race in this country.

@@oHaiKuu two wings of the same dying bird
The maga KKKARENs crying daily makes it hard
Still beating that horse? We were much better off in the 90s and much closer to moving past racism than we are now. It's been reignited by those who choose identity politics over politics that help us all. It helps both political parties to stir this up.
U think!?!?!?!?!?...JUS VOTED ON LYNCHING... Texas (BIBLE BELT?) KY GA VOTED TP PRESERVE THEIR GOD GIVEJ RIGHT TO GET A ROPE find a TREE.... HILLAARRRIIOOOUIUSSSSS!
Nice work, you managed to sew division into a story about division.
It’s what Teddy Koppel does best!
WHOO, YEAH!
It's the legacy media, what do you expect. They're continuing to fail and, rather than reform themselves, they just double down. Let them keep laying off journalists.
Dislike.
Great collection. This is why Woke politics with wiping out past offensive artifacts really makes our understanding of political and historical cycles impossible.
Define woke.
Glorifying The Perpetrators Is NOT A Way To Discourage Crime.
Omg. Many of those artifacts aren't being wiped from history, they're being put in museums instead of public squares.
@@tinaperez7393 Next To Guillotines And Iron Maidens . Safer That Way.

just remember BLM.... 80million dollars ... and where did it go?
Too late for something dangerous
