[The Bush legacy is looking better every day](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adc3MSS5Ydc) – it was objectively bad, and corporately fascist but sweet Jesus there’s a whole generation that hated the moment, but would think back on it in a macabre nostalgia.
Some people thought both parties are the same. Lol.

Bush didn’t take us to war in 2001. AQ and the taliban did that. No half-decent Congress or president would have responded any differently to 9/11.
Still close though; Bush took us to war in 2003, so the point stands.

I remember some pretty heady days watching the Hussein statue being pulled down. That time was completely different. The country wasn’t nearly as divided on the justification, primarily because the Bush administration didn’t just rip into Iraq with virtually no notice. They built something of a political will on the part of the American people. Granted, it was all based on lies, but we, generally, all believed, or at least were giving the benefit of the doubt.
This time even many of the President’s supporters were gobsmacked by this.

This is not really humor. We’re freakin’ living this nightmare!
I remember being in college during the bush years thinking he was the worst president in 100 years. How come every republican president is successively worse!?

*2003 for the Iraq War but yeah. History has an interesting way of repeating itself. The sequel we didn’t think would happen….

Im assuming the 2001 is Afghanistan which was justified, what was really stupid was going to Iraq in 2003 which was based on a complete lie.

Days like this, I would never complain about GW after what’s happening now.
I can’t say that I was fooled again because I never voted for GW. Nor Trump.

Poor US citizens! How do these idiots keep getting elected and put in charge of a war machine that could wipe out human civilisation?

Bush was dumb; Trump is evil.
