Remember disliking Bush a lot for it, thought it couldn't get worse....

I would say, once America as a whole decided it was going to forgive and rehabilitate the evil of the Bush admin, getting worse was inevitable.

Nah, nah man you gotta get into the 1990s. Gulf War I. Gee Atche Dubz. No bullshit WMD fear mongering, no fake testimony from Colin Powell just good ol’ steamrolling all media outlets and marching on in there because oil.

Oh it was great, you had one side going “No blood for oil!” and the other side going “USA! USA!” and all kinds of predictable pre-social-media-hellscape bullshit.

Of course the new war smell wore off quickly and Bush the First didn’t even get a second term out of it.
