57. I despised Reagan, and Bush largely because of Cheney

Apr 2019

Reagan was the most dangerous type of Republican because he could pretend he actually cared about everyday Americans, and they were stupid enough to believe it. At that point I thought we might have a string of Republicans out of the same mold, and gobbling up 55% of the presidential vote.

Trump actually had the same potential but he was too stupid and evil to realize it, or care. He's got the same type of celebrity teflon as Reagan.

My hatred of Bush obviously increased based on how he got into office, and then everything to do with Iraq and every word/facial expression from Dick Cheney.

Prior to Trump I hated Cheney more than any politician of my lifetime.

I came close with Bush*, (even closer with VP Cheney), but no, I don't think I've hated a President hlthe2b Apr 2019 #1
