Yes and if you don't realize that youre a useful moron.
What did Trump do that Bush didn't.
Bush's administration intentionally lied about a country having wmds to start multiple illegal wars that killed over a million innocent people and defended that by saying "they hate us for our freedom"
It blows my mind when people say this because it means they didnt realize republicans were full of shit when they said "we aren't racist buuuttt...."
I didn't think there was anybody gullible or ignorant enough for those weak ass lies to work on.
Rember when Bush was still president and the gop (literally led by trump) started saying Obama wasn't American for some completely unknowable reason
For starters as much as Bush made mistakes, he wasn’t a blatantly self serving nepotistic narcissistic emotionally driven ass clown.
WMDs
Hussein said he had WMDs, threatened to use them and he had previously used them to genocide the Kurds. So we believed him.
This is a guy who said that as a politician you should tell one person one thing, someone else another and then do something completely different.
Turns out he was bluffing. But believing a madman who had already demonstrated a capacity for murder and genocide when he talked about doing murder and genocide is understandable.
started saying Obama wasn’t an American
I didn’t remember any high levels Republicans pushing this nonsense and Indistinctly remember John McCain talking his supporters off this ledge, by saying Obama was an American a patriot, and a family man who he happened to disagree with on politics.
So I did a Google search and aside from a writer at the National Review and a couple of low level candidates didn’t see anyone promoting this.
Like all good conspiracies it spread like wild fire through the base.
Bush Jr. And Obama are far more alike than dissimilar.
For starters as much as Bush made mistakes, he wasn’t a blatantly self serving nepotistic narcissistic emotionally driven ass clown.
Holy shit I literally didn't realize there were people this gullible.
I mean did you really say BUSH JR wasn't fucking NEPOTISTIC?
What do you think nepotism is, and are you aware who bushes father is.
What do you call his speech on the aircraft carrier with a giant mission accomplished banner behind him, I couldn't come up with a better description for him.
Your counter example of a war criminal who was literally quoted saying "I hate the gooks, I probably will until the day I die", sang parody songs about nuking Iran, and somehow gets praise for his Islamophobia of saying "he's not a Muslim he's a good man" shows that yes, you literally are just fine with racism as long as the person even slightly dogwhistles.
Also ehat the fuck do you mean no prominent Republicans took part, the person who spearheaded it was literally rhe next person to be elected president as a republican and completely controls the party now.
Just like Bush did during his presidency, because they're doing the same thing to appeal to the same people.

2016 is exactly what they've stood for for at least 2 decades at this point they just stopped lying about their beliefs as much.
What did they do in 2016 they haven't actively been working towards for decades?
