No child left behind leading to a nation without critical thinking. Guantanamo bay. Imprison who the fuck you want without consequence. Making it law to invade the ICC if any American soldier is ever held to accountability. Crashing the entire global economy by relaxing laws on banks and investors. I mean Bush was pretty awful. Trump is just dumb as bricks walking in the same path set by Bush.

I think W Bush painted the world black and white when there is nuance. You're either with us against us. Started two very unpopular wars and dragged Nato members in. Caused mass immigration to Europe from leading to the raise of people like Bannon, Trump and Farage. The entire far right really. For me, Bush was the catalyst that led us to where we are right now and is the worse president. But even I think I am wrong cause my memory doesn't go back much further.

And worse of all. Bush didn't even win. Roger Stone literally stormed the recount, Bushes brother shut the count down and the supreme court went cool, cool, cool. Been hating ever since the shocking lack of democracy in America. And the fact that some anti abortion Gun nut in some swing state determines how many of my friends will die in wars, how much petrol will cost and how much food will cost due to sheer greed of the owner class in America.

So for me. Bush 2. Trump just let the world see the corruption in day light where the others kept it in the dark.

I read the other day that laws are being passed by people with chauffeurs for people who drive cars and I cant get that out of my mind.

Hitler did literally look at Border Patrol in the US and went neat. I can use these policies for my regime. Thats the comparison. These policies, when followed through to their natural conclusion, end up where Germany went. It's quite literally the canary in coal mine situation. People are saying, this is a warning.

Once asked a girl what the orange ribbon on her jacket signified. She said domestic violence. I asked for or against? Sometimes I should just not be allowed to speak.

That's a very sweeping opinion with no substance whatsoever. Feel better for sharing it with the class?
