"The American way of life is not negotiable" -- Liberal hero "normal President" George W Bush.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Liberal hero. Many people hated Bush at the time. It’s funny how over time he has somehow been normalized as “the not so bad Republican.” Like that’s all it takes, to literally not be Hitler, to be considered an ok Republican.

As a guy who spent the first day of the Iraq war trapped in a police kettle, yes I know.

When W's rehabilitation began during Trump 1 the libs were saying "Cheney was the real bad guy". Then along came Kamala.

Cheney was the real bad guy, pulling the strings. But that doesn’t excuse bush for being a puppet and going along with everything.
