Some republican made that first video thinking they did something… Calling FDR a communist is painfully stupid. Side note, if you’re reading this and liked this video, you should visit Monticello in Virginia!!! Its such a beautiful place and a wonderful place to experience presidential history involving enslaved people.

The Democrats are still the slavers. They just changed tactics. Now it’s welfare and empty promises. They don’t allow their members to think for themselves. Tow the party line or we will literally kill you. But lucky for them a lot of folks are idiots still watching shadows dancing on the wall.
@Spearca

There’s far more internal dissent and ideological diversity among Democrats than Republicans. It’s Republicans that get run out of office for mildly criticizing their president a few times, while voting with his program 99%.

solid use of AI. heres why:
1. its COMPLETELY CLEAR that the AI video is fake. no subterfuge.
2. a human historian is verifying its output and calling out all its problems.
this is the future of the current generation of AI. great video. alot of us dont wanna hear that. but the proof is in the pudding. this is it. LLMs are nothing but an algorithm on top of a database.

Evidence of the historical shift between the Democratic and Republican parties is clearly visible today in geographic voting patterns, racial and demographic support bases, and views on the role of the federal government. The fact that the Democratic party was the overwhelming majority party of the south in the 1860’s but is now heavily Republican is clearly and obviously evidence and proof of the party shift

These A. I. videos out there spreading misinformation or half truths are the very definition of “The dumbing down” of America. It seems A.I. has become the modern, lazy, version of Cliffs Notes. We weren’t allowed to use Cliffs Notes in school and you automatically received a failing score for taking a short cut to learning. At least CN had the shorten notation on the actual story. While Cliffs-notes can have some value like A.I., it should never replace actual learning. And A.I. should not be used as the be all, end all final word on anything.

Good point on how old these guys are depicted as. Even without AI, people are not often given the tools to contextualize the ages of historical figures.
