So can we please stop framing him as some sweet little harmless old dude now?
George W. Bush helped shape the conservative “anti-abortion” movement as a political movement with teeth. He denied funding to health organizations that performed abortions or even that handed out condoms or other forms of birth control. I am not surprised in the least that he is throwing his weight behind anti-abortion Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh would have been exactly the Supreme Court nominee he would have chosen to help smooth the path after losing the popular vote to Al Gore but getting the electoral college and to help support him in starting an illegal war.
A lot of millennials were just children when George Bush was president. Many of us began truly paying attention to politics during the Obama Administration.
In turn, many of us don’t remember that George W. Bush was literally so evil and was the literal figure head and one of the fathers who pushed America’s current state of social ignorance. Islamophobia, Homophobia, Welfare discrimination, anti choice rhetoric, and imprisonment rates of Black Americans and Latinos. He was a vehement liar and a vomit inducing scoundrel. He catapulted this country into a useless war over oil and resources. Which has lead to the death and displacement of millions of innocent Middle Easterners/South Asians and built a strong base for Islamophobia. Literally, his administration set the base for the hundreds of thousands of current refugees.
Read up and get educated on why he isn’t just some “old man who likes to paint in his free time now that he’s not president”.
