Extremely Anti-Gay
Extremely Anti-Marijuana legalization
Arguably a top 5 military hawk among all U.S. Presidents
Against the vast majority of government spending that wasn’t directly tied to murdering Middle-Easterners
A Bible-Thumper who uses the Good Book to justify murdering the brown people in Iraq, along with his attempts at constitutionally banning gay-rights.
Virtually no mainstream politicians supported SSM and marijuana legalization during Bush's time in office, so it doesn't make any sense to use that as a measuring stick to compare Bush and Trump. If you watch the 2008 VP debate, the moderator notes that opposition to SSM seems to be the only thing Palin and Biden can agree on. If a member of the extended Bush family married someone of the same sex, I cannot see Bush, in 2021, not congratulating them and accepting them as a member of the family. Bush spent big domestically, too, including Medicare Part D, which costs more than the entire State Department.
His administration manufacturing the Iraq War was an obvious disgrace, but it was the result of a deeply misguided ideology having way too much influence in the White House. Bush didn't view the Presidency primarily as something to be exploited for his own personal gain. The Trump administration, on the other hand, has never had any objectives other than the enrichment and aggrandizement of Trump.
