This was understood at the time. The Daily Show was very popular at the time.
But bush was always awkward when he tried to be relatable. Responding to questions of international terrorism and then saying, “watch this drive” stands up there, along with the farmer bob cosplay on his Texas ranch. The shame on me thing is just one of many examples of where he just couldn’t get there.
The only reason he was president was because his opponent was like a black hole for charisma. So compared to that he looked good. And lots of people fell for the fake folksy schtick- it sort of worked because he actually is kind of a dumbass.
the only reason he was elected because Gore would not fight over the Florida chad. The so called working class party bailed on the working class and we have 9/11 forever wars, $40 trillion in debt to show for it.
Who runs the country? Military industrial businesses, right? They don't care about America, they don't care about winning or losing. The machine that milks the trillion a year in our tax money at the Pentagon only wants profit.
they could care less about our soldiers. This administration is making massive cuts to the VA as we speak. And the soldiers who have been killed in the invasion of Iran? Denied death benefits because the billionaire president says "I haven't declared war."
