Nithin Srivatsa This comment is funny, but the fact that universal healthcare, a minimum wage, and lessened wealth inequality are considered “socialist” is pretty depressing.
@Based Eagle Its actually untrue that Sweden has no minimum wage. Cost of living differs depending on where you live hence the living wage differs throughout the country. Therefore, local minimum wages are negotiated by unions as opposed to a centralised minimum wage which would be inadequate for those in the most expensive areas of the country
@@hackermattt2552 Adams, Reagan and Ford were all older than Hoover. In fact, John Adams was the longest living president in history from 1803 when he surpassed Washington (duh) to 2001 when Reagan surpassed his age. It took almost 200 years to beat him 😮 Then Ford surpassed Reagan in 2006, Bush Sr. surpassed Ford in 2017, and then Carter surpassed Bush Sr. in 2019. Really shows how people live longer these days.
It is amazing that Hoover earned 58 percent in his first round but only 39 percent in his second round. That is a 19 point swing against him. In 1992, Bush had 37 percent as opposed to 53 percent, so a 16 point swing. In 1980, Carter won 41 percent compared to 50 percent in 1976, so 'only' a 9 point swing. I won't count 1976 since Ford wasn't the incumbent in 1972. 1912 was technically a 28 point swing against Taft but that is only because of the infamous split (although I do think Wilson would have won even without the split). In 1892 Harrison suffered a 5 point swing against him. So Hoover faced the worst case of voter abandonment out of any incumbent in a two way race in the history of this country. That is wild
Even if it technically wasn't a loss of re-election, I would say Hubert Humphrey had a large swing against him in 1968 versus was Lyndon B. Johnson got in 1964.
@William Brynn I really think Joe Biden can win. As much as I hate the electoral college, Barack Obama won 365 electoral votes in 2008, and Bill Clinton had won 370 and 379 in 1992 and 1996, respectively.
@William Brynn Congress doesn't elect a president, though. And you didn't really touch upon why Obama defeated McCain so handily in 2008. I would not say Joe Biden's platform is about hating Trump. In fact, I think "hate" is an extreme word to use.

Thank you for giving effort to highlight the US's history with socialism. Whether you are a socialist or not, I feel like it does the movement lot of good for regular folks to see that for quite a long time socialism wasn't exactly taboo as it is today. In fact, without US socialist movements, a LOT of the seemingly self-evident programs we have wouldn't be around.
Well, the U.S. and especially Democrats have long been supporters of socialist programs as safeguards within a properly regulated capitalist economy (which is a good thing as long as you don't go too far with it and don't overburden the country with debt over it). However, capitalism is still the core of the U.S. economy. While a fully socialist economy has never been popular in the U.S., there was significant support for it back then only because most Americans hadn't yet realized how terrible things had turned out in the Soviet Union where their socialist revolution had turned into Communism with a a fully-state controlled economy and leaders with absolute power to keep everything in control. Even if a dictatorship could somehow be avoided, a fully socialist economy just has far too many flaws to ever work well on such a large scale as the economy of an entire country.
@@Compucles I still don't understand why Democrats get angry when we call them leftists.They literally want an economic system similar to that of centre-left social democratic Nordic countries.I guess about one half of their voterbase are still moderates but that won't last long as the party gets more and more radical with fresh progressives joining them every year.More that happens, more moderate Democrats will shift towards either becoming an independent or a Republican.America was good the way it was during the second half of the 20th century.We don't need any further reforms other than maybe universal healthcare.

My grandpa said he voted against Roosevelt all four times. He was still upset at the Democrats for World War I, he was the son of German immigrants and his older brother died in the War. He ended up losing his house and having to move back in with his parents but he refused to vote for a Democrat ever again. My other grandfather only had one chance to vote for Roosevelt in 1944 and he didn’t because he thought nobody should be president for four terms.
"A chameleon in plaid" - Hoover of Roosevelt. "A fat capon" - Roosevelt of Hoover. We just don't have insults like that today. But we do have candidates calling each other 'socialists'.
If they could have voted in the Solid South. After World War II, nearly half had left the South and could vote, forcing a contest between the two parties. Hubert Humphrey warned the Dixicrats in 1948, long before Emmett Till became an issue in 1955.
The bit about Hoover's public work projects is a little misleading. Hoover believed that public work projects should always take place at the state or local level. He did *not* support large public work projects orchestrated directly by the *federal* government. That was one of the major differences between Hoover and FDR.
Signing that tariff bill was a real blunder, I will always have a high respect for President Hoover, he was a good and decent and honest man. R.I.P Sir.
He wanted to veto the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, however he was talked out of it by business leaders, the GOP congressional delegation, and his entire Cabinet (who had threatened to resign otherwise).
Herbert Hoover went to the ends of the Earth to deliver food to war ravaged soldiers behind enemy lines to feed the soldiers but would not consent to helping the American people get out of a terrible depression. Buy hey, you have to have priorities, right?
That's not fair that Hoover's presidency be associated with the Great Depression when in fact he's done some commendable things away from the oval office.
He let the roaring 20’s get to his head, in reality he knew that the economy wasn’t healthy by the time he took office but to get Elected, he had to ride the wave And his Presidency died on that wave
I like Franklin Delano Roosevelt because he guide the USA through the roughest economic depression and also through the toughest world conflict ever exactly historically fought, The Great Depression and later World War 2. He had his New Deal polices that fixed the economic issues like homelessness, poverty, food & beverages, and family issues with organizations with the revolutionary abbreviations and some important stuff like FDIC. FHA, farm and rural programs, and also Social Security.
@@jdizzlle6197 , well the only aspects I disliked about the Franklin Delano Roosevelt are him imprisoning Japanese Americans into the internment camps and him repeatedly failing to admit Jewish people into the country fleeing from Europe during the Holocaust during World War 2.
Believe it or not, no he wasn't. I had planned it anyway. However, he was an inspiration to start my UA-cam channel. He is a pioneer and great at what he does!!
I really don't think its fair that hoover did a lot with his power for the 4 years he had and economist say doing so hurt the economy when FDR did so for 12 years and though he didn't end the depression, he's given credit as if he did
Imagine FDR being elected in 1920, 1924 rebuilding the country after WW1 and prevent a WW2, 1928 the New Deal will begin early and b1936 will retire from politics. His Successor would be Fiorello La Guardia or John Nance Garner with Wallace being the VP Pick.
It was unlikely. The voters wanted "normalcy" after World War I, and Democrats were in the minority, confined to the Solid South. Besides, FDR ran as the Veep at age 38. Polio put him out of action during Republican dominance. It was then that the corporations took over again, which worked as long as there had been mass consumption with mass production. Since World War II ended, they've been at it again, now on the verge of a fascist takeover.

While maybe calling for stronger labor laws didn't help the great depression I have a hard time seeing that as a negative. However, I am not well educated on the Great Depression and its catalysts and might take a more detailed look at a later time.

It wasn't Herbert Hoover who caused a Great depression it was the policies of Calvin Coolidge that ultimately led to the stock market crash and the actions of Franklin Roosevelt actually made the Great depression worse and dragged it out much longer than what it normally would have

That figures that an incumbent president (Hoover) would lose an election during the Great Depression.
This all sounds very familiar.
John Nance Garner became the longest-living vice president, and he's from my home state of Texas
McDonalds customers in 1932 be like “John Nance Garner sent me”
Al Capone did more for the people than President Hoover during the depression
4:32 did you mean 1860?
Jeremy Clarkson No the canidates were from an alternate future in 1960, where America was still dirt poor and Nazis dominated europe. They went to the 30's to run for president to prevent horrible future events from happening
Listen again. He said 1916.
The amount of comments is triple six, i was obliged to write this message
cool video!
Is it me or did you re-record your sign off? Triggered my OCD ha - in all seriousness though this is a fantastic series, will be sad when it's done
LOL thank you so much. I'm glad you've been here for the trip. Are you talking about when I say, "I'll see you for the next election, buddy?" If so, you may be surprised to find out I do a brand new recording for that each time.
Yeah that's what I'm talking about. Wow! OK I had no idea - I thought it was the same piece of audio every time, I will now have to dip back and listen at high volume for the subtle differences!
I also swore it was the exact same. I think I want a montage of every time Br. Beat says it now.
1:46 Oops..
4:02 if only people could see the tension between both sides today
Prohibition was repealed under Hoover...of all the things to blame on him why that?
4:29 Since 1860*
he said 1916 it just sounded like sixty
"Happy Days are Here Again" is Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1932 campaign song.
While maybe calling for stronger labor laws didn't help the great depression I have a hard time seeing that as a negative. However, I am not well educated on the Great Depression and its catalysts and might take a more detailed look at a later time.
That license plate on the wooden wagon.
Beat, i think you made an opps.
I think you meant Wilson getting the Democratic nomination in 1912 or you did mean Kennedy in 1960. The sentence just sounds odd to me, shoot maybe I'm wrong. Anyways keep it up bro!
The only reason I remember Hoover is because he was mentioned in Home Alone 2.
Another President was in that movie. :)
I only remember him because of the Hoovervilles
4:30 I believe those dates in red might be the states who didn’t have the Great Depression happen on him
States my f autotune
4:26 Since 1960???
1916*
Interesting fact: This was the only time that a campaign song has been used in one of these videos. as of, 2024
It wasn't Herbert Hoover who caused a Great depression it was the policies of Calvin Coolidge that ultimately led to the stock market crash and the actions of Franklin Roosevelt actually made the Great depression worse and dragged it out much longer than what it normally would have
Bro is the ultimate CENTRIST
Has there ever been a President from Kansas?
Dwight D. Eisenhower (although he was born in Texas, he was raised in Abilene, Kansas)
Mr. Beat now that I know he was the only President from the state, were Alfred Landon and Dwight Eisenhower the only two Presidential candidates from the state
Nipun Sharma Bob dole
@@rockstarsharma53 You forgot Robert Dole in 1996.
FDR FDR!!! We need another new deal!
1:34 Yeah, I've heard of the Hoover Dam. It's a dam in central Ohio, and its name has absolutely nothing to do with any President. No, seriously. It was named after the brothers Charles P. Hoover and Clarence B. Hoover.
He meant the other hoover dam… the one that people actually care about
@@PossessedPotatoBird Yes, I know.
This Roosevelt guy seems interesting. I sure hope he doesn't run for more than 2 terms.
Despite his nationwide loss, Hoover is the last Republican to win Philadelphia.
It's worth noting that my boy William z foster ran for president in this election
hoover didnt cause the depression but he didn't do so hot of the job trying to fix it, maybe even made it worse. In my opinion
at 4:27 you made a mistake. You said the first win since 1960 when 1960 had not even occurred yet.
Listen again. He said 1916.
Plenty of Hoovervilles these days.
Thanks to failure of Democrat urban policies
4:50 Travis Scott moment
fdr was the only president to serve more than 2 terms
jb14998 and friends No duh
jb14998 and friends yes
America needs social democracy now more than ever, not chumpism!
Only in your dreams 😂
if you could go back in time and become a president the president that I will choose would be Herbert Hoover
What would you do differently?
What do you think of FDR?
Hoover should’ve called it a one and done
Do one about Trinidad and Tobago vs Jamaica
4:27 the first win since 1960? In 1932?
He said 1916
@@Flamingbro69 what about 1912 ?
When Woodrow Wilson won!
@@Xhelo98Wilson was re-elected in 1916
Were where you when I needed you in school I love u.s president history
