Dead Presidents

Neither a good man nor a good President

This is George H.W. Bush's legacy:  racism, a continuation of the republican war on the working class and the poor and giveaways to the wealthy and corporations, war crimes, obstruction of justice, and sexual harassment.  He also set the stage for his son's Presidency, which, amazingly, was much worse than his.  Just because he wasn't as much of a repulsive cretin as Donald Trump does not mean he was not an asshole, too.

And while we Liberals had to suffer this week yet again as a former President's ugly and utterly mediocre legacy is whitewashed after his death (see also, Ford, Gerald, and especially Reagan, Ronald), I couldn't help but wonder who was more pissed off--us, or Donald Trump's base, having to watch a man they most assuredly consider a sniveling wimp (like the rest of the Bush family) be glorified while so many continue to call out their hero for being an unqualified, boorish, and grotesque twit.

Fuck Donald Trump,
