    This is cope, in a way. Libs can't handle the idea that this whole American project thing is in a steep, rapid decline. They think "putting former leaders on trial is what societies in decline do!". They're scared as shit to acknowledge we are a slowly collapsing empire.

      Even though not putting awful leaders on trial is exactly the problem.

      Nixon should have been put on trial, at the very least.

        It’s not because they’re cucks, and they think about this stuff a whole lot. Don’t underestimate your enemies.

        They’re doing this because they’re nationalists and true believers in the American civil religion. They don’t want to rock the boat because they have a firm belief that they and the Republicans are on the same team and need to work together to ensure America’s continual global dominance, which they are convinced is truly the best thing for the entire world.

        They’re less like cucks and more like a battered wife who enables her abusive husband and defends him from outsiders and from her own abused children.

    Sometime next year, the rehabilitation of Trump will begin. It didn't take long for the whole 'miss Bush yet?' stuff to get started when Obama was proving to be a massive disappointment.

    When the Dems under Biden push their COVID relief bill as tax credits and at the expense of gutting medicaid, you'll be hearing "I got a stimulus check from Trump" sometime next year.

      Wasn't that miss Bush? stuff started by salty conservatives and not liberals. at least during Obama's time?

        No, the conservatives basically abandoned Bush the minute he was out of office. They didn't speak fondly of him and still don't. Liberals began whitewashing him almost immediately after he left office when Obama began continuing his policies. Obama normalized everything that Bush did.

        Obama was widely unpopular by 2011. His approval ratings weren't in the gutter like Trump's, but that didn't mean he was well liked. There was a popular meme that circulated the internet around that time, that had Obama and Bush's face merged together. Pretty much the only reason he won his re-election was because he could still give good speeches, and the Republicans ran Mitt Romney who was doing OK until the whole 47% thing, and on top of that, this was the height of the Tea Party. Had they run someone like Trump back then who is a loud mouth and would've been attacking Obama left and right, the GOP probably gets the white house in 2012. They still went on to blowout Dems in the 2014 midterms.

        Libs have built a cult of personality around Obama, but outside of them, he was never that well liked. Normal people see him as a massive disappointment and some outright hate him. His image is kinda whitewashed in the past few years due to his presidency being in the middle between Bush and Trump, but even that don't change much. People will still bring up how he was president for 8 years and didn't accomplish jack shit but give us a shitty healthcare platform that was more or less a bailout to insurance companies.

    Unless "history" is the name of a guillotine then I'm not on board.

    Pelosi's daughter accidentally gave away the whole game with her, "we might have the cancel some of our favorites" comment. The only follow up is that of course we'll never "cancel" them so no one will face any judgement for any of it.

      Bill Maher and other lib favorites are proof that 'cancelling' is bullshit anyway.

    What does it say about the state of libs that even Keith "the Russians are coming!!!" Olbermann over ten years ago argued "quite eloquently" exactly what would happen if we didn't prosecute bush, has been completely vindicated (at least in this respect) and still they have learned absolutely fucking nothing.
