Bush was correct with his statement (below). Populists don’t know well enough to hold on to one house of Congress to save their freedoms or lives for future elections. They don’t know to keep every inch that they can hang on to. All that we needed was that Perdue victory. He’d already received more votes than Ossoff on November 3rd.

George W. Bush on Capitol insurrection: “I was sick to my stomach”

“Former President George W. Bush said in a new interview...’History and the United States has shown these populist movements begin to fritter over time,...’”

Are you seriously singing the praises of George W. Bush and going along with the BS that losing Georgia was the fault of President Trump and all of us who support him? The GOPe over two elections—2018 and 2020—threw away both houses of Congress, not President Trump, not populists.

In 2018, Paul Ryan and the GOPe did nothing when those 40-some members up and retired including meekly watching the RATS steal nine or ten additional seats after the election in a foreshadowing of 2020 while Mitch McConnell and the GOPe put out too many weak candidates and lost three or four winnable races. In 2020, it was Trump-fueled candidates not the GOPe who narrowed the gap in the House while McConnell finished what he started in 2018 and lost the Senate with more weak candidates like Kelly Loeffler and two-time loser Martha McSally.

Further, this disgrace I voted for twice, George W. Bush, is no one to be quoting or looking to for guidance and wisdom. In that same article you refer to comes his stunning assessment of Biden's first two months in office.

Bush said he has spoken with Biden and is so far pleased with his first two months in office.
"He's an experienced guy, and you know, I had a good conversation with him," Bush said. "I said, 'Anything I can do to help, if I feel comfortable with it, let me know.'"
"He's off to a good start it looks like," Bush added. "Hopefully, this anger will work its way out of the system."

Off to a good start? A supposed Texas oilman thinks a good start is killing a vital pipeline and throwing away energy independence on day one? That alone disqualifies Bush from any credibility let alone the other things he approves of from Biden so far like going back to the Paris Agreement and, of course, the disaster at the southern border. I don't want to hear a thing from George W. Bush ever again.
