People are prone to forget how batshit religious Dubya was. It seems to me that Cheney wanted war and he wanted to grift. But Dubya was a believer and he probably thought he talked to God once in a while.

When I was dumb teenager - Jimmy Carter used a phrase like "pray on it" and I didn't know if he meant that seriously. I asked my mom about it and I was taken aback to learn he actually meant it literally. His religiosity surprised me and my mom too.
People have utterly formatted their mental hard drives in regards to George W. Bush. So much of Gen-X and below generation was shaped by W. In the same way Regan is the devil and reason everything sucks, W is also the devil and reason everything sucks.

Remember early on when they fucked up and called it a crusade against terror?
That's one of the top 100 uniquely evil moments under Bush. Katz need to remember how dreadful and awful the eight years of Bush were. Obama cleaned up the memory, and Trump sort of overshadowed the memory by being particularly vulgar and garish. Trumps novelty and Obama's civility really did a bang-up job covering up Bush's christofashism.
