It's barely even close. Everything that was horrible about Trump was presaged by Bush. He unleashed far more harm on the world than Trump did.

There was a significant amount of anti-war movement and Bush hate during his years. Do agree with you though that he has been whitewashed now, but when I grew John Stewart and Steve Colbert built their careers around Bush hate. The GOP floated Comedy Central through the oughts the same way Donald Trump floats every late night host now.
True, but the libs didn't turn against it until a year or two after it became clear it wasn't going to be a quick and painless little invasion. I was involved in anti-war protests in early 2003 and I can tell you, most libs were totally on board with it.
from my POV then the libs I surrounded myself were all against it but would just sigh and go 'blue no matter who' and generally stick their heads in the sand when it came to their team being imperialist warmongers too, and that definitely hasn't changed
and even in the street it was probably occupy-tier libs and not folks concerned with organizing as much as activizing (especially in stark contrast with 99 WTO), curious if that was what you saw first-hand
