For those that were following politics 20 years ago: If the crazy negative bias in the media (news, late night shows, Hollywood, etc) against Trump is a 97 out of 100... then what number would you give the treatment George W Bush received at the time?
I remember a lot of George W Bush jokes and hatred during the early part of this century, but I literally did not follow politics AT ALL until the day after the 2016 election when I started to look into it. ONE of the things that I found strange right off the bat was the over the top, nonsensical and hysterical hatred for our new president. It made me intuit, even before Q or anything else, that something weird was going on. But, some argue that Bush was treated the same way by the media (the legal system is another story). For those that paid attention, how different is this?
When Bush was getting criticized it was like “now that we’ve all gone along with his war based on false pretexts, let’s buy some spiky bracelets and be “punk / counterculture just a bit to blow off some steam”
It wasn’t like they were obstructing GWB at all.
They also sort of played into the excuses like “he’s just a dumb country boy and Cheney is the real mastermind anyways”
