Anything... the revolutionary war? The founding of America? The Roman Era? Persian Empire? The 1600's? The bronze age? Postclassical Era ?

Theres almost 10k years of History to choose from.

You guys may have hijacked TV , hollywood, radio ...etc but we have the whitehouse, senate, and the house.

They have become the very things they hate.
No?

Insisting that a TV channel not note actual history because it illustrates a particular point of view is the very definition of requiring a safe space.
The OP clearly wants to be "safe" from actual history that makes him uncomfortable and/or depicts the U.S. as something other than he wants it to be.

A little self-reflection might be in order.

I don’t know about you but I noticed a stark difference in the videos .. yeah they were upset but nothing like the 2016 election. Those were just still photos . I mean the videos I’ve seen recently were riots, destruction of property, death threats , people wanting to kill themselves , etc .. the list goes on .. everyone was over the romney election in one week . It’s been over a year and libs are still crying 😭

The riots and destruction were the cause of a very...VERY small % of americans. They do not represent democrats.

But hey, if you want to paint an entire group of americans based on the actions of a very small minority, go right ahead.


But, if you do....own it when people paint all trump supporters as KKK, nazis and white supremicist.

I am not insisting. I am stating a FACT that the History channel has a political biased narrative behind it. Sure, not every single show on there has it but a lot of it does. I get it. People like you fail to discern that Hollywood, 95% of the news, Television , and other forms of mass media have all been hijacked and spew out constant liberal propaganda. I pity the blind sheeps that stand by and allow it to happen. I guess they have just gotten use to it ..... I won't...

ˌpräpəˈɡandə/Submit
noun
1.derogatory information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

I see a big difference tho... at least the neo nazis are protesting peacefully LOL... they're not burning starbucks stores, flipping cars, and attacking people for disagreeing with them...

Bid difference there.

Ahh yes! Because 99% of Human history was in the 20th century...

Why not just rename the channel to 20th century television network? That would suite them better. Let another channel take over for the other 9,900 years of human history...
