    Ya know…as much as I hated Bush in his day, he was never a nazi. I called him a LOT of things over the years…but I never remember calling him a nazi.

    How the fuck are we living in a timeline where a president who used a terrorist attack as justification for invading countries that never had anything to do with it, is now looked at as “he wasn’t so bad…”

      Bush is a war criminal, lied to the American people, and contributed to the pathway that created trumpism.

      He’s not a Nazi. But he’s not a good guy either.

        His grandpa was though.

        https://www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/how-bushs-grandfather-helped-hitlers-rise-to-power

        https://militaryhistorynow.com/2013/02/25/the-business-plot-did-american-billionaires-plan-a-fascist-coup/

        And his dad HW ran the CIA for a while.

        Pardoned a good number of Iran Contra CIA people when he was President.

        … And seems to have been working for or with the CIA for many years before he became director.

        https://www.salon.com/2019/01/25/the-real-reason-the-cia-loved-george-h-w-bush_partner/

        Zapata Oil was run by HW Bush… and very much seems to have been a CIA front company, assisting with many ‘kinetic’ operations in Cuba and Latin America.

        … And if you really want to go down the rabbit hole, a whole bunch of people connected to Watergate, the Bay of Pigs… and JFK’s assasination… are also linked to Zapata Oil…

        … and HW himself was noted by J Edgar Hoover as working for the CIA, in 1963, way before HW ever admitted he worked for/with the CIA, in an official FBI memo investigating the assasination.

        Yeah, the preceding years laundering his reputation and presidency has been maddening. His war crimes, foreign policy on essentially everything, domestic policy on education, carceral systems, tax reform, and the border should have him in solitary at The Hague for the rest of his life. The man is truly a monster, and walks among the nazis today. He’s still a republican, so whether or not he’s a nazi is perhaps an academic debate only.

      He was a fascist. He was always a fascist and his “War on Terror” laid the ground work for our current situation.

      His presidency is when I first saw the Signs of Fascism.

        Yup, it’s when patriots and flags on cars took a nasty turn. Let’s not forget about Dock Cheney either. O matter what his daughter has tried to do to change that name, Bush and Dick belong in the Hauge.

        Trump belongs in an orange jumpsuit and Musk belongs in South Africa, locked in a compound hiding from the world.

      Let’s be real, the best part of Bush Junior was Sam Rockwell playing him in Vice.

      So you just aren’t aware of the “PATRIOT [sic] Act” at all, huh?

      Bush signing that into law was the moment I knew Bin Laden had won.

      Bush lied about WMDs to kill millions of people and steal their oil. He is not Hitler but he is not far. It will take more than a sieg to surpass Bush.
