I have no interest in defending GWB. But the bolded is false.
Now we're on to the lowkey identity politics complaints. Where have we heard this before? Dreams-Visions wasn't so far off the mark because these convos always veer in that direction. Don't gotta agree with the poster, but brushing it off like that is just as off putting.
this is what happens when you become so attached to a political party that any harsh criticism of it makes you go "But if they bad then am I bad?" and they instantly freak out and lash out before actually taking it with nuance. And to be somewhat fair to libs, ive seen tankies react in similar ways before.
this says so much about you
I have to brush it off because in context it's nonsense.
I've seen your posts saying that, so please don't think I was implying otherwise. Most of us remember each other lol. Just criticizing that one bit and you are free to feel that way.
some people think setting part of a continent on fire is very funny.
Yeah this is why comments by Michelle like this are dangerous, just a willful ignorance to learn from history and criticize our country's own actions.I have no interest in defending GWB. But the bolded is false.
He had a 61% approval rating as of last year, largely driven from his approval rating with Democrats jumping from 11% to 54%.
George W. Bush's favorable rating has pulled a complete 180
George W. Bush has turned his unpopularity upside downwww.cnn.com

I guess lol, my bad for implying anything.
You're right. But I can admonish what he's done, and want my black children to look up to him for what he's done domestically.
Or it'll just continue to rise for Trump after he's gone too because people can't help themselves from whitewashing some of the worst people in American history.
If you don't see a fundamental problem with the upper class rehabilitating actual war criminals that then influences other people to think "hey Bush isn't that bad cause Michelle likes him!" then idk what to tell you
I think some things can't be ignored, being a war criminal is one of them, couldn't be friends with one, not because its a difference of opinion, but because its something I can't ignore, its something vile and goes against my most basic beliefs, one of them being life is valuable. Being friends with someone like that and vouching for them is only possible if your beliefs don't clash too hard with them, at least on my eyes, not to mention it normalizes that persons actions. So Michelle being able to be friends with him and go out of her way to normalize him in peoples eyes is worthy of criticism. If they don't want people discussing their relationship then don't promote it publicly
Bush has apologized for Iraq/Afghanistan. I'm not holding a grudge over it. If you can't forgive him then that's on you. There's things that have been done to my people that I won't forgive either so I understand, you'd never hear me say stop being mad or "get over it" like they do with slavery.
You know I've seen this post format trotted out a few times by various posters, yourself included. It's a strategy of using a lot of words to say very little, all in the name of defending some status quo or centrist position.
