Bush II's wars generated the largest peaceful protests of their time. They were ignored.

They weren't ignored, they were large protests but out numbered by voters who were okay with the wars. If the protests in 2003 were sufficiently large enough Bush wouldn't have been re-elected in 2004.

Protest doesn't mean you just immediately get your way if the crowd is reasonably large.

And I remember there were reports of garbage bags fill with ballots found during the 2004 election that were never investigated. Nothing that Trump and his administration is doing surprises me because we've seen smaller versions of it during Bush.

Bush the Lesser.

There were two presidents named George Bush. I'm referring to the one who used 9/11 as a pretense to invade the wrong countries and steal their oil.

I think they just wrote 2 like a lunatic. Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003).

I'm referring to the second Bush president.
