2016 really showed how dumb a lot of Americans are, politically, and how little people pay attention to things. From Trump supporters to people expecting magic ponies from Bernie Sanders, a lot of people came out the woodwork with weird views. It's not surprising a lot of these people have no recollection of the 00s or Bush. This is also why I don't buy the idea that we'll never have another election where people fall for the okie doke again, don't vote, do the "both sides are the same" etc. Lot of people lived through the 2000 election fiasco/Bush/Iraq and STILL fell for Trump...
Trump is terrible. But until he starts an illegal war based on fabricated evidence, he is NOT worse than Bush. Period. I mean if there are any positives about Bush...he was at least qualified to be president unlike Trump, he was mentally stable, not guilty of (alleged) high crimes before the election, etc.

Trump was the best thing to ever happen to Bush.

I'll never forget watching Shock and Awe Iraq invasion live. They had cameras set up and everything. Remember reading an article stating how shook the Chinese were to see such precise strikes.

People forget how bloodthirsty America was after 9/11. The whole media was behind Bush, including the NYT and WaPost.
Anyone who dared criticizing the Iraq war buildup was called unpatriotic. More than 70% of the public approved the invasion and it was only in 2005 that the majority disapproved it.
Bush could’ve decided to invade Argentina and the public would’ve supported it.
The public tuned out Bush on Katrina (his approval dropped below 40% and he never recovered).

Poll: Majority of Dems has favorable view of George W. Bush

A slim majority of Democrats in the United States holds a favorable view of former President George W. Bush, according to a new poll.
Fifty-one percent of Democrats in the Economist-YouGov survey say they have a somewhat or very favorable view of the 43rd president, while 42 percent hold a somewhat or very unfavorable view of Bush.
The results come just under one week after Bush delivered a blistering rebuke of President Trump’s policies. While Bush did not mention Trump by name during the speech, he criticized foreign polices that do not combat security threats head-on and domestic policies that rebuff immigrants.
“We’ve seen nationalism distorted into nativism, forgotten the dynamism that immigration has always brought to America. We see a fading confidence in the value of free markets and international trade, forgetting that conflict, instability and poverty follow in the wake of protectionism,” Bush told a crowd at a security forum in New York.
The new online poll was conducted from Oct. 22 to 24, after Bush’s speech. The survey of 1,500 adults, 1,312 of whom are registered voters, has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
A Gallup poll in June found that Bush’s favorability rating had climbed since 2016. Forty-one percent of Democrats in that survey held a favorable view of the former president.
