but it was the policies and conditions of the preceding years that gave Trump such futile ground! The continuing occupation in the middle east with clear goals or exit, bailing out the banks and not the people who lost their homes, almost all the economic recovery and growth after '08 being concentrated to the top 10% of owners!

What good is nostalgia for a past, when it is what evolved into the present we so bemoan?

Both Bush and his son preceeded him. Even from a radlib perspective, this is revisionist.

Oh wait, you guys like Bush and even fucking Cheyney now cause they said orange man bad. Also it's not "yelling about brown people" if you say terrorists instead of DEI/woke I guess

You miss when America had the ability to plausibly deny its latent bigotry and aggression?

I'm glad it's out in the open now.
