The Election That Ruined Everything (And If It Never Happened) 

I'm gay for Beast

To quote Ben Shapiro, "Woodrow Wilson was the closest America has ever gotten to a dictator."

I prefer the longer videos more

The_Fixer Woodrow Wilson is a lib, and he just got owned. Epic style.

I like longer, more detailed videos more. Keep it up! 😄

If all Presidents had mustaches, the world would be a better place. Yes, even a hypothetical female president should have a mustache. Edit: Typo

We need more sick ass beard presidents. If the commies could have rocked beards and facial hair, surely we could do the same.

Imagine Trump with a badass mustache

The more dope the facial hair the beter the president

@@itsdakingofkings2550 well he was still of british mindset, even though he was one of those who made america into a different country, so i guess you could say the more facial hair the more indipendent from the uk?

wow you still alive

he emigrates into the U. S. and joined the KKK

And the Kaiserreich is restored

Yes

His mustache would have been a lot bigger, and he would be known forever as "Adolf Hipster"

I'm Croatian and while I'm probably supposed to be against giving Italy the coast, if it prevents fascism, take all you want. Also, since it's Wilson's idea to not give Italy the coast, I want to give the Italians the coast even more simply because fuck Wilson.

The one good thing he did, so that everyone can laugh at Mussolini's stupidity at thinking Italy could actually reunite Rome.

Why the fuck couldn't I be born into the timeline Cody proposed instead? FUCK THIS ONE! I WANT THE GOOD TIMELINE! Make with the time travel, astrophysicists, so I can correct history by offing that racist, imperialist cunt Wilson and installing Roosevelt 26 for a third term! Our rough-riding, canal-building, trust-busting hero would have given us universal healthcare and social security 100 years ago and been done with it forever! He'd have protected the environment and perhaps given us renewables earlier; look at how he stepped to Standard Oil's shit! He'd have doubled down on desegregation and brought the white racists to heel, finishing the job Lincoln started and made it STAY FINISHED! Roosevelt 26 was Bernie Sanders before Sanders was even born! I want to see Teddy immortalized on our currency for once. Alexander Hamilton was never POTUS so why's he on the $10 bill? Strike him and put Rough Ridin' Roosevelt on the bill instead.

well,there would still be most likely wars with Italy (if Mussolini still comes to power) and japan. But,the 20th century would definitely way less bloody than our own would

@@unionjacker1531 that thought would put my heart at ease. Its probably stupid to think this way but, I feel bad knowing many died, believing they would be the one to silence all if not most, and achieve something for humanity, regardless which side you're on. What a damn shame

Jason Teddy Roosevelt, the only president I would support fully.

Yeah, he suffered a wound that became infected (worsened by the fact that the bullet from his assassination attempt had never been removed), and suffered from malaria-like symptoms. It left him severely weakened for the remaining years of his life. Had he been president, that expedition almost certainly wouldn't have happened, and his lifespan would've probably been extended.

I wish we lived in the timeline where America got to vote for the BULL MOOSE party

At that point, he would have died like President Félix Faure.

@@adamantiiispencespence4012 Yeah like Cody said, there would still be wars, but less bloody. Though let's not forget about Japan.

And of course he only believed in self determination if you were white or European.

If it wasn't for Wilson, my country (Latvia) might've ended up as a neglected autonomous region of Russia, suffering from Russification (and only then due to large sacrifices by Latvian Riflemen batallions) and perhaps gaining independence only around the 1970s or so.

@@bullmoosemedia - I'm sure he had personal reasons for turning Roosevelt down, but to be fair TR was in no shape to lead a military expedition by WWI. He was not only half blind by this point due to a boxing accident during his presidency, but his body was also permanently ravaged by malaria on his expedition to the Amazon in 1913-14. He was no longer in his prime, and all that would have been accomplished by him going to fight in Europe would be achieving his "glorious death in battle" that he always wanted.

To be fair, his son was. In Germany, people started realizing that while the Kaiser's sons were safe at home, a former American President's son fought and died in WWI.

@@blank2588 only radical liberalism, H3H3 is a liberal and he isn't radical, so to blame the echo chamber on liberals is VERY ignorant.

WW2 was brought on by Allied victory, the peace of versailles and the Jewish subversion of Russia and Germany as Bolshevist USSR and Weimar Republic, which yes, Russia's decline was tragically helped along by Germany back then.

No. The argument is silly. For example: no garvilo, hence no WWI/different WWI, thus no commies thus no Nazis. The end. Same effect. Similarly; no Wilhelm, different WWI, no commies and no Nazis. Or; no plan 7, different French strategy, different WWI, no WWI no Nazis. But you don’t blame American 21st century policy on my great great great great great great great great great great grandfather via the butterfly effect.

@@veloxlupus303 The difference between Wilhelm/Wilson and Garvilo, is they actually formed the policies of the nations and would have largely have done things under similar circumstances anyway - vs someone who was mainly just a catalyst to kick off events that were largely already being prepared to happen at that point. But the difference between Wilhelm and Wilson here is that I don't really see Wilhelm having such a great ability to avoid the great war, given the circumstances of everything, just how it was carried out by the germans at the primary extent of his actions. Wilson though, he quite directly led a nation to not be able to end the war quickly. So of these three, yeah - I do think Wilson probably is the guy with the most direct action for the huge benefit of humanity.

@@veloxlupus303 The yes could be interpreted in both ways, which I assume was the joke; Surely you couldn't put the blame on one man can you? - Yes, you can't/Yes, you can. Wilson was only 1 element in the whole chain of events, take him out of it and everything after that may well not have happened. But that could apply to many elements within that chain of events. So the double contrary conclusion seems accurate. This is an alternate history channel and therefore the argument becomes more silly the further you extrapolate into the future.

@@Guzmano7 Just think, at least there are no more mean tweets lol

@@Guzmano7 Yeah, that one 5 years ago was pretty bad.

@@edwardblair4096 Yeah the democrats blaming Russia for Trump winning divided the country

"AH im into fitness digging ditches through elimas while riding down to Cuba like WHATS UP BITCHES!"

“I keep my rhymes pure, like my food and drugs. I’m an American Stud, you’re the British Elmer Fudd”

"Christ sake look at that mug atleast grow a spruce mustache and cover part of it up"

"And let's face it, you're not all that great, you tossed away lives in Saint-Mihiel like they were scraps off your plate"

"your whole miserable country is the size of one state. I could see my way through running that without donning my pince-nez"

El1teFire he passed the 16th Amendment so I can’t say he’s my favorite

WILSON!!

This does put a smile on my face

Funny you should mention that, considering Cody did an episode on the Snap. x)

Cody also put The Nostalgia Critic in the video about the C&C: Red Alert series. He was Yuri.

This made me think of when I saw Bo burnham live for the first time and the next day or even that night he checked his twitter feed and was all you guys other famous youtubers where there...

We may not be alive in that timeline, WHY WILSON YOU SONOFABICH

Me too friend. Me too.

What if Taft won?

i hope you dont mean that literally lol

I'll take Taft, thank you very much.

Nah, he first tried talking about it, and THEN once he realized you were a fucking moron/selfish bastard, he'd beat you into submission. "Speak softly but carry a big stick".

Its because the American Population didnt understand just how based Teddy truly was.

Not only that, he mocked the shooter during his speech.

Teddy was a Trump of his day He was outlandish character, with a personality the people both liked and would distance themselves from He was a player. . . Playing a game

Well, Teddy did bust up the Monoloplies of the most wealthy and powerful people of the day, and that ruffled a few feathers. It is why they made him Vice President rather than President. How would they know William McKinley would be killed and put this raging bullmoose in the seat of power? Imagine if Trump had torn apart the Cable Industry (Which is basically a Monolopy) or Amazon. Do you think the 1% would back him after that?

Nah. Could have had a Lenin rise in the US as well. I... try not to imagine that in any detail.

Um we do lol in a way not to the same extent, but the general idea still

At least we got out the Cold War without WWIII. That would be the worst timeline.

Rudy Smith I agree. I was talking about a nuclear exchange when I said WW3.
