Trump is more hated than Bush BY far.
Someone mentioned The Young Turks, but even Cenk said 2004 doesn't even compare to 2016. A lot of Democrats I know said they felt 100 times worse on November 9, 2016 than November 3, 2004.
One thing about 2004 is that it had a HUGE explosion in the popular vote. Very important election.
Most liberals I know do not think of Trump as merely a Republican/political opponent - but pure evil. The Devil in human form. Hitler reincarnated.
In fact Bush is entering the rehabilitation phase.
I disagree. Bush was hated too, and plenty of people portrayed him as an evil war criminal.
As somebody who lived through the GWB administration, I find the left's recent acceptance of him to be sickening. All of a sudden he is an honest, decent man with bipartisan appeal just because of Trump. That sentiment would've held a lot more weight if he hadn't been used as the voodoo doll of the 2008 election.
