Can't believe I am saying it, but Cauli is spot on. He is graded on such a curve. I just saw the TYT guy tweet that if Trump doesn't start a war he is officially a better president than GWB. Was that necessary? Why go out of your way to praise this dude for not being a war criminal? Is the bar really set this low?
Both can be true. I think we forgot at how a) horrible the Bush years were in terms of real worth gains for younger generations, b) how that administration laid the seeds to the current social ills we're facing (higher higher ed tuition, housing crisis in major cities, and c) the failure of the supposed 'adults' that both served in the Bush and Trump administration showing that somehow they are both waste of spaces and incapable of improving the situation. If anything, they're more incompetent than the Trumpists they replaced.
Let me put it this way, there's nobody as outright evil and villainous as Dick Cheney serving in this administration.
