Bush whines about modern GOP

Why does anyone give a shit what the worst so-called President in the country's history thinks?

This morning, NBC's Today took a break from shaming people for crooked teeth by conducting a rare interview with the despicable George W. Bush. I guess that's fitting because today is Hitler's birthday.

Bush complained that today's Republican Party is "isolationist, protectionist, and to a certain extent nativist." Back in 2000, Bush received an endorsement from an Alabama-based Ku Klux Klan chapter, so he has no business accusing anyone else of being nativist.

And if the GOP is protectionist and isolationist, isn't that an improvement over supporting unfair trade policies and pointless wars like Bush did?

Trump was bad, but even he wasn't the GOP's nadir. Bush and the Tea Party were. Yet Today and other media sources are implying Bush was some sort of moderating force. This is the man who gave us the Patriot Act, the Iraq War, Real ID, a recession, climate crisis denial, corporate mergers, mass incarceration, and terrorism, and he's being painted as a "get things done" moderate.

I'm just waiting for someone in the "Greater Cincinnati Politics" group on Facebook to say I'm not a good Democrat because I dared to speak ill of poor Bush.
