2000-2006 politics in both parties was some scary open christian white nationalist shit. Which is why the collective erasure of Bush's presidency from the discourse is yet another brutal disappointment in a long line of disappointments in the ability of anyone on even the mild left to bring back reality. And without it, it seems no one can draw the timeline from the dawn of the millennium to today's rising fascism and Trump, obviously. But hey, I'm a :tank: , so its not like its surprising to me 🤷‍♂️
