I have to admit, my corner of tumblr seems remarkably passive about this past week. No freaking out, no mad panic, no "it's the end of the world"
Just "meh" and "so lets move on and do what we need to do"

I too am old enough to remember Bush, and honestly... I think this person is seriously underestimating how much more dangerous the Republicans have gotten in the intervening time.
Bush had nothing remotely close to the project 2025 agenda, and Bush didn't have a supreme court willing to tell him that he was literally above the law.
Bush was terrible, no doubt about it, and the people who've been trying to rehabilitate him can fuck off forever. But Trump, and the version of the Republican party behind him, are so much worse.
Bush was also before the Tea Party split. Those are the crazies that left the Republicans and came up with people like Ted Cruz. Then they rejoined the Republican party and threw them much further right, as we've seen with the Maga movement.
You are correct. Honestly fuck every person who downplays trump. People downplayed him into the Whitehouse twice now and everything you pointed out proves them wrong as fuck.
Bush at least had respect for the institution of the President and the Constitution. This fool respects nothing and no one.
Guantanamo Bay is still open.
There are still prisoners there, held for nearly a quarter of a century without trial.
Please -- Tell me again how he respects The Constitution, democracy and isn't a fascist.
Or are you only scared because they are coming after white folks now?
