Just watched the Boy Boy video on George Bush’s Masterclass, and they made me think about which U.S. President was actually worse.

    Also not American. People who were anti-bush had at least some kind of greater belief about capitalism, politics, etc. Literally everyone knew trump was a buffoon.

      As an American, Bush is so much less bad than Trump to me that I find this question confusing. It’s so obvious that Trump is the worst thing that’s ever happened to the US. He literally attempted to overthrow an election to stay in power.

      No other president has come close to that. It’s an absolute joke that Bush is considered in the same breadth.

      Another Trump term could very likely be the last presidential election we have or it could result in another attempted coup. How fucking scary is that?

          There’s at least a veneer of legitimacy over the Florida supreme court deciding to award the state’s votes to Bush in 2000. Does it suck and should it be fixed? Yes. Was it illegal and dangerous to democracy? No, or at least not as bad as Jan 6 and the other crimes Trump and friends committed to try to steal the 2020 election.

            Found another liberal who thinks decorum is the most important part of the political system. The veneer of legitimacy is MUCH worse then the obvious flailing of someone who lost.

        Found the liberal. Sorry the worst thing to have ever happened to you was trump being mean on the internet. I’m sure Millions of Iraqis understand your pain.
