He had the receipts, the vision, and the plan—Congress just brought the drama.
In this episode, Eric and Kyle finally dive into the presidency of John Quincy Adams, aka the king of "I told you so." Civil War? Called it. National highways? Pitched them. A naval academy and an astronomical observatory? Yes, please. JQA was ready to launch the country forward—unfortunately, the Jacksonians showed up with nothing but bad vibes and anti-nerd energy.
We’re spilling all the tea:
⚖️ A federal showdown with Georgia’s militia
🚧 Infrastructure dreams crushed under petty politics
📉 A legacy nearly erased—but not on our watch
