    At the time, everyone I knew thought him every bit the dangerous buffoon Trump is considered now.

    I had immigrant parents, who didn’t talk much English at home or US politics much. In elementary school I’d pass as white until you realize I have heavy accident 1/5 the vocab as everyone else. Bush was the the middle school and high school era for me. What I personally witnessed felt like Bush seemed to do bad things 24 like a cartoon villain but every fucking adult loved him because he was a Christian man and was going to end satanism and abortion or something. I moved way up north before Obama, and when he won the election everyone rejoiced like it was going to change everything.
