So many young people have no clue how fucking terrifying it was, and Bush's image has been somewhat rehabilitated as well. People are afraid of Trump bringing about a fascist revolution, but he's a clown compared to the Bush crowd. A lot of the shit we're dealing with today got started or really accelerated under Bush. Reagan is in a similar position.

Very respectable and dedicated man, professional public servant who's hollow in the inside and only wishes for the blood of the innocent. Classic "banality of evil".

Yep, never forget it was the elder Bush's regime that brought us the Sonic Youth song "Youth Against Fascism" 30 fucking years ago

They've been at this shit a loooooong time

They're doing for Bush what they did for Reagan
