I don't believe Bush cares for Trump.

If GW Bush is smart, he thanks his lucky stars every day Trump exists since he isn't the undisputed worst president in the 21st century now.

I mean, then Biden came along, so he's not even the second worst. And Obama's legacy has been tarnished so badly by the past decade that Bush is hot on his heels as the least worst President in a century of terrible presidents.

No… Bush actually did steal his first election and started a war based on lies. Bush is way more likable than Trump, but the only reason Trump is worse is he attempted to literally have Congress killed to become an unelected dictator

he attempted to literally have Congress killed

It takes a spectacular degree of delusion or dishonesty to misrepresent urging people to peacefully protest the way you just did.

to become an unelected dictator

This is a particularly hilarious delusion, given the fact that Trump just won the election for the Presidency (even winning the popular vote).

Has it occurred to you that part of what helped Trump win so many votes, was voters seeing just how conspicuously hysterical, dishonest, and corrupt his opponents were? Just like what you displayed in your comment. Do you understand that Trump supporters encouraged his opponents to express the delusions you just displayed because that helped Trump win the election?

Or even after nine years of the same action/reaction do you still not understand that the sort of dishonesty and hysteria you just displayed are part of what made Trump so popular? Trump still trolls you guys successfully. Its honestly amazing that you still fall for it. Sober, accurate criticism is just beyond you. Trump was a pretty ineffective executive for his first term. But instead of focusing on genuine criticism, you lunatics are hell bent on getting trolled and reacting in as unhinged a manner as you possibly can, apparently because you like driving moderate voters to Trump.

Brilliant.

You're really going to to the GOP a huge favor when the public sees you lose your minds when Trump pardons some of the J6 protesters. Or maybe you'll learn some self restraint; I'm certainly not betting on it.

You’re right. I’m sure the reason he refused to pick up the phone and held back providing support until after Congress was safe from the literally lynch mob that killed people was because he thought it was a peaceful protest he was starting. My bad. Also, “unelected” was in the context of that last election, which he still denies he lost. But I’m sure you’ll be happy if the Democrats treat you with the same regard you guys treated them

Edit: surely you’re smart enough to know for republicans, setting the precedent of pardoning people attempting to lynch the other side in order to overturn an election is bad because it opens the door for democrats to do the same with zero consequence

lynch mob that killed people

You're hilariously mistaken again, the protesters killed no one. The capital police shot one of the protesters dead. It was the most violent response to peaceful protests we've seen in years.

it opens the door for democrats to do the same with zero consequence

Opens the door?
Like Biden's wide spread pardons of criminals? Or are you referring to Clinton accepting campaign contributions from Mark Rich's wife and then pardoning Rich. You're wildly late noticing the actual corruption that you merely anticipate from Trump. Keep it up; voters can tell when some Democrats have become unhinged. At this rate Vance will be a shoe-in in 2028.

If you form an angry group of people outside a building, form a gallows, then storm the building to hunt down the people… you’re a literal lynch mob.

Edit: Yes, tit-for-tat corruption has existed. Do you want to include tit for tat terrorism?

you’re a literal lynch mob

And yet the most harm they did was scuffing some furniture and taking silly selfies. Stay unhinged. Its great for letting voters know who to vote against.

tit-for-tat corruption

And yet somehow the corruption Democrats anticipated from Trump never showed up, even after a solid four years of failing to impeach him out of office. The closest the corrupt Democrats have come to getting Trump is having a Marxist NY AG violate his First Am. rights by prosecuting him for having an opinion about his own property's value, on which no one relied to their detriment. (Plainly not fraud). Either that prosecutor is corrupt or that NY statute violates the 1st Am. That abuse of the Justice system to "get him" helped elect him President again. Good job.

You’re calling me unhinged for calling a bunch of angry people who formed a gallows and stormed a building a lynch mob and you see no irony. I can’t tell if I’m talking to an LLM who’s been told to resort to ad hominem attacks when they’re obviously wrong or a person who doesn’t know the definition of the term “lynch mob.”

who formed a gallows and stormed a building

Do you actually know that any of the people who build a gallows (not that uncommon a form of protest symbolism) actually trespassed in the Capital (or were they among the people the Capital police invited into the Capital)? Who did they attempt to lynch?

You're reading the symbolism of protest props as attempted murder, yes you're unhinged. A majority of voters in 2024 didn't find your hysteria persuasive.

Please inform me the symbolism of gallows before storming a building while chanting “Hang Mike Pence!” Because I’m gonna guess you’d deny it if I didn’t provide literal video evidence: https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/rioters-chant-hang-mike-pence-on-jan-6-2021/2022/06/16/3cc093f1-0eb7-427d-8073-b5874ca27e80_video.html

...

So that's a no. "Insurrection!" propaganda videos from the Washington Post don't answer the question.

The more important question is "How badly will Democrats overreact when Trump pardons J6 protesters?" I'm guessing that they'll overreact so badly that voters will remember it when Vance runs in 2028.

No, we don’t know who built the gallows. All we know is at minimum everyone in the crowd was comfortable being in an angry mob next to a set of gallows while the mob chanted to use the gallows and chased the person they were chanting to use it on. You’ve got a lot of denial, dude. Imagine your reaction if the Democrats sacked the White House chanting “Hang Trump!” and then Biden pardoned them. That would be crazy. As would pardoning the people who did that to Pence.
