After the Biden vs Trump debate, a video from the Lincoln movie popped up in my feed, and it got me thinking.
A new full episode of the Secret Scholars Podcast with Warren Smith.

This is the true perfect use of youtube. Philosophical commentary about the moments and items in culture and history. Well done
"We'll never know, but we can learn from history."
-Warren Smith
Commentary from a village idiot is still commentary, I suppose.
Noob.
@@rapid13 You're adding so much to the conversation
Agreed, and we shouldn’t be made to use ridiculous euphemisms to state truths .
I miss watching the kids bounce their ideas off of you and be guided to a more open minded logical view of the world.
I already know everything; thus if you agree with me we are brothers, if you disagree you are wrong and a Nazi.
Lincoln would speak for four hours and people had the stamina to listen.
Mr Lincoln didn't have the
C I A to contend with.
We're not even in the same playing field anymore.
If you're on a favorable side of the CIA and running for office rest assured your more likely to get it!
We're in the exact same playing field. Don't be fooled to think history was any different. That's why it keeps repeating itself. With respect, a little research and you will find Lincoln was surrounded by enemies. Many within Free Masonry.
Biden comes from pride and arrogance.people behind the scenes take advantage because they see an opportunity for themselves.
Trump is a felon, sex offender, insurrectionist, compulsive serial liar and fragile narcissist all from unchecked egomania. Biden and Trump are not the same.
Bravo, Warren. A lovely video essay and examination of equality under the Law.
The challange of politics is to think about what is good for our nation first, and what is good for ourselves last.
This guy is soo chill, literally chill.
I wish I had a teacher like this man when I was coming up in the world.
I had a few. But then, I just turned 60 this year.
I had a bunch, but that was in the 1990s and most of them were old school teachers and retired after I graduated. Same with college professors.
you do NOW. we aren't dead yet. learning is lifelong. some of our teachers are from this young generation. i am humbled.
@@dagnolia6004Learning from the young who have in themselves a heart for learning. Power to these wise men and women spreading their edifying experiences. The human experience is just too profound to be the domain of a handful few. The generations are coming together to share!
A Shout-out to Mr. Mancuso English teacher at Park View Jr. High school in the 1970's. Changed my life in many ways.
Mostly through interpretation of the written and spoken word.
Equality under the law is the best true north. Everything else is never equal.
However, if the distribution of law is manipulated or judgement corrupted then nothing is equal, and justice impossible.
Lincoln’s wisdom, if this is historically accurate, is sound even today.
Cruelty in justice is never tolerated, even if it is supported by the law, or correct in its jurisdiction.
In all things justice must be metered out with temperance and mercy.
Churchill is one of my favorite historical figures. I agree. He saw things in its entirety and understood before most what was necessary to not just survive but win. His clear message in every speech articulated not only to England but to the world what was necessary, but also the way through.
Always wondered how equality of outcome activists would go into a forest or such and enforce equity for all animals?

It is a worse crime to let the corrupt go unpunished to continue their corruption unabated.
Well done. Thank you, sir.
Warren, Lincoln did not say, "-- 'Democracy' by the people..."
Democracy was never used back then to describe our form of government.
Actual quote: "That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that "government" of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." -- We are a Constitutional Republic, period. In fact, Democracy has been pushed on us only in the last 100 years.🤔😁
Thank you for the clarification
Yes! We are a republic.
@@charitymeyer9903 "we" are not a constitutional republic. We are each free individuals with inalienable rights. The government is supposed to be a constitutional republic. To mistake the government for the people is a common error, but it is not true. Just because the constitution (a document created from a conspiracy) says "We the people", does not mean that the people consented to it, or that the people even matter.
Many of the founding fathers ('76) didn't support the power centralization that came over a decade later in the Constitution. and for good reason- it did not respect many of the principles of liberty we find in the Declaration of Independence.
Maybe the best use of nine minutes I've spent all week. Great clip
Total waste of time, mind, thought within absolute nonsense, falsehood, pretense, LIES, distortions, false claims, portrayals, narratives, drama, inDOCtrination, Propaganda, emotions !! 😲
Lincoln IS being met with criticism today.
Truth
maybe it's because he jailed reporters, suspended habeus corpus, and instituted the draft. and it wasn't to free slaves, it was about conquering the confederacy. according to lincolns letter to horace greeley.
so.. fair criticisn I'd say.
@@CrudelyMade Only Communists deal in absolutes
To be fair, I don't think he should be immune to criticism, though I believe he was indeed a great man. When we as a free people cannot analyze and critique the actions of any leader, past or present, we are in fact not free at all. The only exception I can think of is perhaps for religious leaders, but even then you should be able to question them legally--but it may mean not being part or their congregation, or cult, or compound, or societal institutions, or whatever. Criticism has consequences, but as long as it's based in fact it should still be given as a legal and moral option.
Lincoln has always been met with criticism, most people never bothered to learn more about him. He did what he did, not to free the slaves, but to free/save the country, which means no mater what side you are on, he is going to disappoint you. Back in the late 70s, all sides of this were still being taught. I have no idea what is being taught now, but it definitely sounds like only the side of the teacher is currently being taught. Teachers are people, and they need to be questioned just like everyone else. Critical thinking...
Lincoln's pardon is also the strongest legal precedence for the recent immunity ruling by the Supreme Court. He pardoned everyone who had previously supported the confederate Army, and would even return land, which was seized by the government, so long as that person swore an oath to the United States.
This ruling was challenged by congress, who did not want to return the land, and the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the President's power because the power to pardon is a core power granted by the constitution.
To apply this more broadly - if congress could simply pass a law that would take away power from the president, then you no longer have balance of power in the government. This is why SCOTUS recently ruled that in order to prosecute a president for official acts, you have to justify why those official acts would not diminish the power of the executive branch.
SCOTUS did not grant the president complete immunity; they laid out a groundwork for the hurtle that would have to be overcome to prevent the legislative branch from getting more power than was laid out in the constitution. Congress already has the option to impeach. If they can't impeach and convict, then this doesn't mean they can pass new laws or try to re-interpret laws to take power.
If the people prosecuting Trump can put together an argument under these terms, then they can continue their case. Maybe if they wouldn't have waited until an election year to bring this case or if they would have considered the balance of powers when prosecuting Trump, then they would be in a better position in their case against him. (Or maybe they expected this outcome. Now they can not only criminalize Trump, but they've also given themselves ammunition to use against the conservative judges in the Supreme Court).
well put. Trump refused to indict hilary, presuming we needed unity instead of the division it could lead to, even as HER campaign fund use of collusion to investigate him to illegal degrees. And it led to the left INCREASING the investigations and indictments of dissent. Now we are told to fear trump in case he decides to hold them accountable? Too much else to do to bother with much past ensuring the agencies are no longer able to be weaponized against either side
Well said. The court recognized their role as an equal branch of government and they preserved another branch just as the founders intended. The court could have ruled the executive into a figure head. But they didn't. Every President will be able to continue their role as they were meant to.
However, President can rally a small group of supporters that will go on to put an end to opposition in Congress.
The dead cant speak and remnants would be too terrified to do anything against.
Mandate to rule from the public can be given through total and utter bloodshed on the streets by the hands of militarised police.
Silence is complience, after all.
Now President can do whatever he pleases.
This is called a monarchy.
SCOTUS did not specify what is and what is not an official document- now it would take years upon years for lower courts to find all possible solutions to this dilemma.
Right now presidency is going to be a playground for the wealthy and corporations- any and all official acts, however insane and destructive, will be passed to down to be fullfilled.
Their expected outcome was to not only criminalize Trump, but to silence him. How many times have we heard the media say a version of Trump being a felon 34 times? The reason they cannot put together a true argument is because there is no legal one.
LIES !!
I was lucky enough to have teachers like you when I was growing up in 60s and 70s Australia. In public schools mind you!
Reports of Lincoln describe a high-voice with a blend of an Indiana and Kentucky accent, but one thing was certain: his tone, style, and delivery was unusual. Author Harold Holzer, a leading Lincoln scholar, poured through reports to find a consistent audience report as he researched his book, Lincoln at Cooper Union. Holzer says "Lincoln's accent was a blend of Indiana and Kentucky & it is hard to know whether it was more Hoosier or blue grass.” The way he spelled words, such as “inaugural” as “inaugerel,” gives some clue as to how he pronounced them. Despite his twang, Lincoln was “no country bumpkin,” Holzer clarifies.
Hillsdale hire this young man !
Thank you. It's a time for reflection and no one is doing it.
Oh, if Lincoln had lived, what a difference it might have made. What he left behind was valuable enough, but four more years...
Weather the storm when those around you disagree. Those are hard words to live by but absolutely worthy of driving for. I would be a better person if I remembered this when those times arise. I appreciate the way you express yourself.
Your words help me stay focused and not lose hope for our country. I was born in 1943 and have seen so many wonderful things, so many tragedies, and now so much confusion ….. we need to live with hope … perhaps we will see the good ‘end’.
Logic and common sense are sorely lacking in certain political circles.
Unfortunately they are lacking in all modern political circles. Money has corrupted beyond recognition the political system of this country. I watched two octogenarians argue about golf scores while our country is bled dry. If you think that one party is solely to blame for that I fear you are mistaken my friend. A caper of this magnitude could only have been orchestrated with the will of both parties. All of the social problems and madness that is pushed is merely a distraction so people don’t feel their wallets being picked from their pockets.
and facts. facts are lacking. Lincoln jailed reporters, suspended habeus corpus, and instituted a draft. these aren't "good" things, they are not lawful, and it wasn't done to free slaves, according got lincolns own words.
Very true. Sadly, the purposeful trend has been less reasoning and more emotionaling.
well, the problem also is that „common sense“ is used for a lot of things and to justify the gut feeling - not logic. Common sense is quite a useless and deceiving term/concept bcoz anyone could (and does) define it different.
Logic and Empathy is what yo think necessary. Empathy creates connection and understanding - that’s what’s missing, and logic (to me) is on the other side of that spectrum - where people make truly objective observations and don’t try to sell their interpretations or prejudices as facts.
@@mustang607 emotions are important though. The problem is when people mix these things up.
Even your statement here is quite emotional although your wording disguises that: „Sadly,…“ and „purposeful trend“ - these are not rational observations but rather reflect your assessment of something you witness.
No offence! What I think wud helpful is to clearly distinguish between observations/facts and interpretations/assessments/emotions.
American educational culture must change! Happy 4th, everyone.
By now, Lincoln might have dementia & start talking about when he and George chopped down a pear tree in Delaware.
Lincoln would get an army together and fight the vampires in charge today.
I found great comfort in listening to your thoughts because it comes from good faith and shalom.
I agree your channel has elevated CZcams along with cat and bunny videos.😊
Equality under the law is the best we can do, because god knows, we are not all equal, we are all individuals from different cultures and different walks of life with different physiology, different experiences and different mental capacities.
We must hold on to principles, not ideologies. Holding on to a principle is like holding on to your destination, doing what you can to get there. Holding on to an ideology is like holding on to a direction. The destination doesn't matter, the obstacles don't matter, just plough on ahead. We must hold onto the principle of equality in front of the law, of allowing the law to determine who is guilty and who isn't. Not to the idea of using the law as a tool to punish our ideological rivals, having determined they're guilty by fiat.
So look around you at the people you're talking with. Do they hold to principles? Or do their principles sway in the wind of ideology?
What's the difference between an ideology and a set of principles? The left has *defined* white people as racist, and the only ones who *can* be racist. Is that a principle or part of an ideology?
What a strangely tortured connection this seems to be.
Lincoln’s 2nd Inaugural, arguably his greatest speech, said it best… with malice towards none!!
Too many have much too much malice, how did it get there…??
If sense was common you wouldn't have to use the word 'common' to point it out.
Which is why calling it common sense makes no sense. Just call it sense. People lack sense. This is due to a few factors. Firstly, humans are not an intelligent species. Most are barely conscious of anything beyond their own loop that is their life. Secondly, the top 1% have done a very good job of eroding the masses ability to critical think and be aware of anything.
Going to start using "good sense" instead now lol
You sir are a real teacher, you deserve an audience far wider than any single school can provide. I truly hope that youtube and its masters do not censor you in the coming days.
So glad to be introduced to you by Dad Saves America.
Good luck young man. You don't know me yet I am glad to know of you
My opinion is that Mr. Smith's logic based, debate format videos are great. Honest, genuine and informative content.

You exemplify the truth that a commitment to rational, logical, reasoned thought is more valuable to a society and a people than pure, unbridled, unreasoned passion.
I really liked this video format mate. It absolutely works for your style and has re-engaged me with your content.
Thoughtful commentary much appreciated here.
Excellent analysis.
Dang. Well said :)
it is true that Lincoln was divisive in bringing about the war to preserve the Union, but, as you have demonstrated, he could also be conciliatory and magnanimous in victory.
Lincoln shit on the Constitution and was a tyrant that un-Constitutionally forced the South back into the union. It was NOT a civil war, but the 2nd American revolution.
The entire set of claims, drama, portrayals, narratives by every "Hollywood" production is completely False, Falsehood, Prestense, Distortions, LIES, Nonsense full of drama, emotions for the intended, purposes within inDOCtraination, Propaganda, Agenda !!
The core of the conflict between North & South was Federal Authority, Control; The Southern States determined the Northern States that were controlling refused to allow the States' Rights per 10A. The Northern, Authoritarian refused, The Southern declared Independence, Succession. The Northern States initiated the war. The "Elite" supported, backed the Northern States within their newly established Republican Party - with Abraham Lincoln and the US Congress.
it was nothing about "slavery" or "equality" - complete distortion, LIES, Propaganda !! 😲
Thus, finally post "Northern" victory [SAD😞ly] of the Authoritarians [contrast to those which Declared Independence from Authoritarian GB=King George in 1776, thus King's Army force, was finally repelled, defeated, surrendered 🙂 Thus defeat of the "Elite" - later infiltrated, established, instituted their political parties to control, as they did within their replacement, establishment of their Authoritarian Parliamentary Socialist/ISM Governance with 'multi-parties"] !! 😲
It help to know actual facts, reality, events, not falsely claimed ideas, concepts, misconceptions, inDOCtrination, Propaganda
Thanks for the video, I hope you are doing well
Warren I have just discovered your channel and subscribed. Excellent points being made here at many levels. Thank you for doing the work to keep serious dialogue alive.
Keep on sharing your wisdom in the chaotic time.
I am of British descent, living in Canada. I have decided that if I am ever asked about "reparations", my answer will be "I am in favour of reparations. If the modern descendants of slaves want to pay me for the cost in blood and treasure that my British ancestors had to bear to end the Atlantic slave trade, I will graciously accept it." I wonder how that statement will be received? I predict it will be stunned amazement. LOL.
wow!!! just wow!!!!
Thoughtful observations
So a movie that is not all true and wording to “thriller” a movie !!! The government always does this
Warren, have you considered applying for a teaching position with Hillsdale College? Your classical approach to logic is well aligned with their vision/mission statement.
Nice to see you bro.
Great content, man. Great humility in thought, pacing--giving oneself time to process and enunciate. You should feel confident to plow onward. Got my sub!
I love this video and the movie you showed clips from. Sometimes, at times like these, I re-watch this film, because it inspires and calms me.
Just because reality isn't equal it doesn't mean the law must reflect it.
It's bad enough that my entire public school education never covered anything after the civil war, but even what it did "teach" about that war was devoid of most facts entirely.
Where did you go to school and when?
Lets be honest, we learn facts about it before we are old enough to recognize significance.. a hundred years ago there was only reading and writing and basic maths, and the expectations and results were vastly different than today..
Good sources of learning about the war are Shelby Foote's book series and Dr. Guelzo's course available from Great Courses.
@@TheSwauzz Pretty much any public school in present day.
Where did you go to school that did not study the Civil War. I teach in Alabama and I guarantee we teach the Civil War. The tenth grade has at least three chapters on it.
Exactly my problem with both camps, they are both being divisive.
How is the Republicans be divisive?
@@radradR0bot Not enough republicans try to win over those with left wing ideology, but rather take on this smug "were gunna red wave" attitude. Polarization is occurring. Now granted the leftists are more batshit crazy and will be aggressive if you even present an opposing viewpoint, the right wing folk need to understand that extreme leftism as we are seeing it is brain washing and we should be trying to deprogram them, not just crush them in debates and elections.
But mainly my issue with republicans is the politicians themselves, a lot are just grifters who are RINOs and they benefit from the culture war drama to elevate their position.
Are they both being equally divisive or is one side worse than the other? Would you say that Rev. Martin Luther King was equally wrong for his civil disobedience as the police that turned fire hoses and dogs on him and his followers........would you say 'they are both wrong', 'they are both being divisive', how even handed of you, how open minded your example.
The Republicans are not even remotely divisive unless your definition of divisive is calling out the BS from the left.
As a registered republican I would say, in general, the Republican Party sucks. They’re mainly a bunch or boring cowards.
However Trump has transcended the Republican Party and offers an interesting path.
I respect Democrats for being progressive, but they’ve let the looneys take the leftist agenda too far.
I agree that divisiveness isn’t really the answer though.
I enjoy hearing what you have to say. Best wishes on future travels
very thought worthy... good stuff!
Keep preaching the truth…
All of this IS complete fictional, fabrication, nonsense, distortions, LIES, contrived, devised falsehood, pretense, false portrayals, narratives, drama, inDOCtrination, Propaganda !! 😲
There is not any truth. Period.
We need more of this from Warren.
There are a LOT of great people who we should be learning from. Lincoln, Churchill, etc - not many of the shallow, self-centered grifters that are currently being celebrated.
Deep dives, like this short example could do a lot for our children, but instead, they are getting high level, quick summaries - more of a timeline of their lives rather than an understanding of their compassion, commitment, thinking and LOGIC. Learn that they weren't perfect either, but people from commoner backgrounds who still positively impacted the world in lasting ways.
A quick search yielded: Martin Luther King, Malala, Mandela, Ghandi, Mother Teresa --- so many more great examples.
Lincoln-Douglas was real debate.
Such an excellent movie.
And the historical events of mercy post-civil war, is an act that has not been forgotten, but chained up and hidden away in the dungeon of politics.
These political parties don't want reconciliation and moving damn onwards, they just want the fight.
They just want to "beat the other guy" and the compass be damned.
In the words of a GTA4 character:
"You can't shake no hands when ya fist be clenched."
SO happy to have found out about you! I subscribed to your X account as well! PLEASE keep up the good fight!
Churchill was able to see the big picture of the course of the 1939-45 war and the growing threat in SE Asia from Communist China, which ultimately came true. The UK troops just wanted to go home after Japan surrendered and not be kept on in uniform and it was this factor that swung the General Election of 1945 away from Churchill's Tory Party to Atlee's Labour Party. This was seen in the USA as an act of betrayal and a move to Socialism which in American eyes equated to communism and prevented an immediate post war loan that was so vital to the UK economy. Fascinating period in both time frames.
Nonense
Churchill knew Stalin and Communism were the big threat but couldn't get FDR to see it because FDR was basically a Socialist and sympathetic to Stalin.
I love the left calling Trump a wannabe king. As if they don't love and worship FDR.
Absolutely true - my dad was in the 2nd world war and he confirmed this
how does this compare? in any case britain won the wider war against communism in malaya and nothing happened to hk beyond the 100 yr treaty
@@buglepong how does 'this' compare to what, exactly?
A compass does NOT point to “true” north. It points to “magnetic” north. There’s a big difference.
In too many ways, you may have found not only your home, but also how you can do the most for others. Yes, making the right choices is not easy. It takes guidance to see that we need to take into account many factors, and not just do what feels right in the moment. Revenge does not bring lasting peace.
This was great; thanks for your insights.
Nice work.
A surveyor would know a compass doesn't point true north.
Compelling clip. Politics often has its own nuances. Sometimes pure emotion has to be tempered with logic, and decisions don't have always universal agreement. Excellent video.
As some wise person said, "Those that don't learn from the past will be condemned to repeat it".
Thats the word right there.. fairness and to all not some which is why we are a constitutional Republic.
It's good that we didn't follow Thaddeus Stevens' type of reconstruction. However, as a Radical Republican, he is a good character who actually believed in the equality of races. For which he suffered.
Equality not equity
Incremental well thought out steps isn't necessarily the quickest way, but it's usually the surest way.
The presented thought process seems good, but based in complete Falsehood, Pretense, Distortions, LIES, False, misleading, misdirecting claims, ideas, concepts, portrayals, narratives, drama, emotions, emotions, etc. => typical "Hollywood" inDOCtrination, Propaganda !! 😲
This is very worrying, consider the closely held beliefs of 1861 and transpose them to some of the ideas and ideals of the present day are we facing similarly divisive situations? In 1861 it was the morality of slavery really just that single issue today we are being torn apart by "Environmentalism", "Woke Sexuality", "Antisemitism", slavish adoption of the D.E.I. discrimination, C.R.T. righteousness and the wealth destruction of E.S.G. rules all to attain a level of virtuosity that only a small but noisy and influential Elites really care about, this goes across all of the Western Democracies and a pendulum swing is in the offing but will those who are invested in these ideologies allow that swing to take place without resorting to a violent backlash?
So glad o found your channel!! Please start a critical thinking site.
We can learn, but we never seem to.
Logic is only valuable to and within a learned individual, one who keeps steady pace and is slow to judge, and who assumes they have incomplete information, making decisions with inherent flexibilities.
well stated
I thought Lincoln planned to deport the former slaves over the Mexican border to avoid the obvious problems of incorporating them into a democracy, one likely to become split over cultural and historical differences... Frankly, I think their descendants would be ultimately better off if that had been the case! :(
While I cannot agree with everything you said I did like the way you said it...
As one wise man to another stick with your conviction and you will find true freedom of spirit mind and body
I’d love to see a “man on the street” video by you.
What great gifts you have. Thank you.
Here from apogee!!
I’ve said the same thing. The media & govt have lied and convinced their audience that he is fit for duty. They now are proving that false to show them why they are about to replace him.
They will lie about anything, blatantly. So, why are they saying, in unison; he lost the debate and maybe he should go “a different path?”
They are preparing their people so they don’t lose their support.

Our government is no longer "of the people or by the people". Don't believe me? Will there be a vote to determine the democratic candidate or will our leaders simply be selected for us?
Your last line was the most important. People do not learn from history, especially politicians. Most politicians don't even know their history. History never repeats but it often rhymes. And no, this time it will NOT be different.
2:50 A compass DOES NOT tell you true North -rather it tells you magnetic North. The use of the term "true North" is a literary element that works because most people have not experience in the use of a compass (orienteering).
The compass analogy is a great instrument of explaining a principle, when applied to correct issue. But it's important to remember that if you try using it as an argument, it can be a defence of the most awfull things done "for greater good".
Lincoln would probably burn down a newspaper and start a war, given his track record
My question is, if Lincoln was doing everything "the people" wanted, then why stage his demise (pun intended since it was at a play). Why is it that when you give the common folk they want, that's not the right answer? (Probably a stupid question.)
That's good schooling for students and for most adults should have learned .We must navigate thru this untamed technology that many regardless of stupidity or purposes of enemies distortion and perception to make history.policial destruction is at a great cost for collateral damage of human life ..sad but necessary that war will be inevitable again if the present day don't take a lesson from past history...
The real lesson we should learn is from the Civil War reunions like the ones held at Gettysberg, where formal foes hailed each others bravery and embraced each other as brothers.
But only after Lincoln gutted States' rights, didn't actually free slaves (the emancipation proclamation freed ONLY the southern rebels' slave to cause a slave revolt, and didn't free northern slaves), and killed hundreds of thousands in a war that wasn't necessary.
Buying the slaves from the banks and plantation owners had already worked bloodlessly in other countries.
But what if you instead would have seen a clip from the movie from the same year and about the same man but in the role of a hunter?
I was so intimidated to switch from an Arizona high school to a Southern California school in 1989. I was made to feel less than at my AZ school, as school was hard and demanding, my CA school was created to coddle us. But in the CA classes, I was more educated on the civil war. I had to teach my whole class that what they were learning had marinated in emotions and was wrong, I actually remember saying with anger “does everyone really want to live in a society where being a victim is more than being free?” I was right…..my gen’s kids are freaking emotional basket cases and sadly they don’t even know.
if your kids are weak that is on you, little bowl of vanilla pudding crying because your parents were as pathetic at parenting as you. Wah wah wah blame the schools.
The only thing that separates democracy from simple majority rule (by which might makes right) is appeasement. You take away the *feeling* of fairness and the minority who continues to lose - no matter who that is - simply become resentful

@@silviavoss6411 Yes, exactly
Here is the root problem of the video age. Using a script written for a movie as philosophy.
That's the genetic fallacy. The medium matters less than the message.
Sorry, I don't get it. What is your point? How does reflecting on this historical situation relate to Trump/Biden debate?
It doesn't. The debate was a failure on both sides and realistically swayed no one.
Unless you thing there is a grand conspiracy between the elites of both parties or the dems wanted to suddenly switch Biden with another and needed an excuse to do it even through I doubt anyone would have been against it.
The point was... think of a jumble of things to say about trending event that either camp can enterpret as support, and thus capitalize on event for maximal views.
@@Steinmetal4 think smoke + idealism + a dramatic flair wrapped up in a cloak of intellectualism. The stuff of youth.
Biden had a tough time with the debate, most people thought he lost and should step down as the Democrat Presidential Nominee. He's equating the difficult times of the civil war to Biden's struggles. Trump did what Trump does, there weren't any surprises or disappointments with his performance. People that liked Trump will still vote for Trump, People that hate Trump are questioning who is really running the country because it obviously isn't Joe Biden.
