Yep I remember feeling somewhat that way about GWB but that was also because the patriot act happened and it made more sense to be like woah woah woah this is an insane escalation even over the shitty Clinton years. I now know I was not entirely right in GWB being uniquely evil but like, now? After all that has happened under both parties for the last 25 years? Seriously?
Anyone that still ascribes to this great man theory bullshit is a lost cause as far as I am concerned. I still try with them sometimes but I don’t have high hopes for them.
I have no idea how anyone lived through Vietnam, Civil Rights, and the Reagan years yet remained a liberal. The only explanation is they choose to be ignorant or ideological.
