I’m old enough to have heard all of this exact same shit about GW Bush.

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Bush never incited a coup attempt, nor spoke about being a dictator, nor praised authoritarian dictators for their displays of power, nor was there a cult of personality around him that saw him as a sole source of truth.

Not that I'm defending Bush as a good president, but Trump is absolutely different and significantly more dangerous, and the cultists who follow him are as well.

Having witnessed and survived an actual coup attempt, I’d humbly ask you not to rob those words of all meaning.

Bush started actual wars.
