      1. I understand that opponents of Trump are looking for all the allies they can find but the rehabilitation of George W. Bush is absurd.

      2. It's not just that Bush's terrible presidency should be remembered as such but also that it Bush was a major precursor to Trump.

      3. The unilateralism, the anti-intellectualism, the stoking of culture wars to cover for a plutocratic agenda: a straight line from B to T.

      4. Containing and getting rid of Trump is one thing as a short term agenda, but the larger fight is with the causes of Trumpism.

          Reminds me of the liberal love affair with Mitt Romney last summer. He gave a speech bad mouthing trump during campaign... but wouldn't say he wouldn't endorse him, wouldn't acknowledge that he was part of the problem, and then humiliated himself trying to get an appointment.

          A few tv pundits applauding W for rebuking Trump won't alter history and doesn't mean Ds embracing neocons. This is GG logic

          Contra: Bush, while harboring dark elements and complexity, had moments where he unified, inspired, comforted, cooperated.

          I felt angry at many of his policies, but thought of him as misguided and wrong, not actually malevolent.

          You're a piece of shit, Jeet. Guys like you is why I'd never call myself a liberal even if I voted for liberal policies.

          Thanks, Jeet! I think it's important for us to keep connecting the dots between George W. Bush and Donald Trump.

          They are there, as are the dots from Bill Clinton to George Bush to President Obama.
