    George W. Bush’s presidency. I don’t know what the kids are smoking when they say current republicans make him look “classy” or that Trump’s first term was worse than his. He bred a constant state of paranoia and xenophobia and used it to justify killing countless people in the middle east. The damage done to that part of the world is staggering and everyone just treats it like background noise.

    Also that decade post-SpongeBob where every kid’s cartoon was about a loud, annoying, dumb guy.

      GWB definitely had a scarier presidency than Trumps first term for sure. but this second term is unlike anything I’ve ever seen

        Absolutely, that’s why I specified the first term! Even during Biden I kept seeing people say GWB was better than Trump, when they didn’t have this current nightmare fresh affecting their judgment. The kids just really want to redeem Bush for some reason.
