I remember they said that one big reason W was elected was because he seemed like a guy that you could sit down and have a beer with. (That's an objectively terrible criteria for choosing a president, by the way.)
And of course, that's exactly the opposite impression you get from Trump, who thinks he's better than you and wouldn't talk to you in a million years if he didn't think it would greatly benefit himself.
I don't know where I was going with that. Just remembering how things were, and comparing two bottom-of-the-barrel presidents who unnecessarily got us into wars.
It's like everyone after Clinton was bad, not saying Clinton was good but I guess he was mostly lucky with the economy he got
Bush was a disaster
Obama bailed out the banks which mid term fucked everyone up big time and did nothing to end US wars from my impression
Trump 1 was absolute garbage and I'm kind of grateful that COVID might have cost him the first chance at his second term
Biden was uninspired and didn't have the guts to fix long-standing issues and just put band-aid on stuff, though I actually think he was the least bad out of the bunch
Trump 2 is just a whole different league of catastrophe
