The thing that is so weird, in retrospect, is that the Dems hated and persecuted Bush as much as they did Trump. Remember Bush=Hitler, Bush being hanged in effigy, their massive disruption of the first months of his presidencies, their refusal to accept the elections, etc?
Bush is really a first class RINO, always “reaching across the aisle,” as he put it. At which point they would bite his hand off. But he never learned. RINOs never do.
Bush comes from a group that considers itself “elite” and will look down on the working classes except at Election time. He is not “elite” in any sense of the true word - he is of mediocre intellect, couldn’t accomplish much of anything without the family money and influence, never served in combat, is a lousy speaker, has no particular talents for much of anything. But he considers his background - expensive private school, Yale at the behest of his old man - elite, and I guarantee he looks down on you and I while considering the leftists to aspire for. Example - if you work with Ivy Leaguers and go to a group dinner, oftentimes they will make a joke which has no basis in humor. They will do it to see if you laugh uproariously, along with them. The “joke” is really that they have got you to laugh at something which is not funny in the slightest and they are really laughing at You for being the idiot. The Bush family is like this - a gathering of total mediocrities laughing at us based on family wealth and privilege.
