      All the mainstream coverage of HW Bush is glowing and adulatory, but having watched an unhealthy amount of cable news in the past 36 hours, the *most* effusive seems to be MSNBC

      Anti-Trumpism is primarily expressed through intensifying appeals to über-patriotism, American Exceptionalism, a whitewashing of pre-Trump evils, and reverence for all factions within domestic authoritarian institutions that oppose him. This, therefore, is wholly unsurprising.

      HW Bush was the embodiment of all the "institutions" that everyone claims to love so much now (intelligence services, party insider apparatuses) and which Trump supposedly seeks to destroy (even though in practice Trump has done little to tangibly undermine them)

          There are so many amazing parts to the discourse of the last 24 hours, but the most amazing is we've heard for 18 months that nothing will kill US democracy more severely than Trump using pardon power for friends to shut down investigation into himself - exactly what Bush 41 did.pic.twitter.com/NaBsAuagky

          In terms of subverting the rule of law to shield political cronies from accountability, HW Bush is far worse than Trump. But you would have zero notion of that watching the coverage.

          Indirectly, and sometimes directly (increased military budget), he boosts them.

          Adulation of figures like Bush is an exercise in the disappearance and dehumanization of his victims - very useful to our oligarchy.
