    Trump 2.0 is WAY worse than any Bush.

      Without the crucial steps the W Bush admin took, there would be no Trump. It’s not that Trump isn’t worse but they are part of the same fascist movement, just further developed.

        We are talking people fleeing the USA for their lives. This is Trump phenomena as he is demonizing and literally going after dissenters.

          Bush Jr. started doing that. I recall seeing protestors who opposed the Iraq invasion being arrested for dissent. Remember Dixie Chicks? Yeah, they got cancelled for that. And, lets also not forget about the random violence against anyone remotely kinda like an Arab, to include Punjabis, Liberians, Somalians, Burmese, etc.

          I feel like waaaay too many people forgot about post 9-11 shit.

        Agree - if people were thinking it before, now they are DOING.

      Remember when we thought Bush was bad? God I’d love to have him instead
