Give it another 10-15 years and Liberals will rehabilitate Trump like they did with Bush and Cheney. I swear they have the memory of a goldfish when it comes to their supposed political enemies.

Canada has maybe an even better example, with the liberals here making Harper and BoJo's favourite banker their great leader

I'm still fucking mad about everything from that era. Granted, I was a teenager at the time, so it was the first time politics was really visible to me, but I think it's warranted. Al Gore sucked, but we'd still be in a far better place had Bush v. Gore gone the other way.

I don’t think Dems are rehabilitating bush or cheney. It’s more a sense of how trimp is so awful that he makes previous set of villains look normal.

Liz voted for Trump’s agenda more than 90 percent. She only started being against Trump when it personally affected her. Endorsing Kamela isn’t courage, especially for a literal war criminal like Dick Cheney

Bush got out of the spotlight and just lives on his farm and does bad paintings. He doesn't make the rounds endorsing new R's, he doesn't comment, he's just silent and easy to forget and ignore. If he was still a public figure he'd be more widely criticized still.

You’re literally proving my point. You should look up what Bush did in his 8 years in office: Creating ICE, The Patriot Act, over a million Middle Eastern people dead due to US invasions, turbocharging the surveillance state, etc. Bush is a war criminal and that should never been forgotten

I mean, Bush didn't create ICE out of thin air.

No, he shouldn't be. But you can't hold that to just Bush. Basically every single US President in history is a war criminal or did horrible things. Even the ones you like. Yes, even that one. Also, Bush had *overwhelming* bipartisan support after 9/11. Both parties screwed up there.

I doubt that very much, and Bush and Cheney aren't being rehabilitated by liberals in general so much as they're getting the "a broken clock is right twice a day" treatment. They largely right in their criticisms of Trump.

They won't, because wearing dumpy suits and too much spray tanner is a worse crime than killing a million Iraqis in their book. Trump is never getting rehabilitated.

I say supposed because no reasonable person would try to rehabilitate Bush or Cheney. In a just world they both would have gotten the Mussolini special.
