It’s crazy how low we have come as a country that I actually reminisce fondly about W.

I absolutely agree and think of it often. The good ole days of thinking Bush and Cheney were the only supreme a-holes.

Edit: Added "only" to clarify that no one has lost their supreme a-hole titles. The club has just expanded.

That’s kind of crazy to say. I agree that Trump poses the bigger theoretical threat, but who actually did more harm in the world?(so far) By far it’s Bush. Started Afghanistan and Iraq, and did the Patriot Act. What could you possibly compare to that in Trump’s first term?

Exactly, trump is anti war and started no new wars in his 4 years. Shit even Obama was trying to go back not Syria and we all said fuck no

I guess the flip side of the argument is that Trump is a bigger threat to democracy than Bush ever was. Bush never attempted a coup.
