Man, I loathed Bush as a president, personally.I agree the right-wing has extremists that they need to condemn (which Trump has done on multiple occasions).
My post was more that the left absolutely hated George W. Bush, 2% approval rating amongst liberal democrats. The only person I could think of a lower approval rating would probably be Hitler. So would they trot out Hitler the same way they trot out another person they absolutely despised with a 2% approval rating, as long as he opposed Trump?
I cant speak for others, but when we look back, as bad as he was, he was great compared to trump.
Simple things like upholding American values, basic civility, the constitution and decency are lost with trump
I would imagine (and I cant speak for others) when people present Bush, Pence, Rumsfeild etc. theyre not saying, "Look how good they were."
They are saying, "Look how terrible republican leadership has become."
There is another thread about the free press, Bush sounds like a total scholar and the anti-thesis of where we are now. He's not talking about trump, he's talking simply about free press which to some will be antogonistic to trump-
