Ain’t people quick to forget?

I keep seeing these tweets saying that people miss the former presidents, including George W. Bush of all people. O_O What?!
Okay, I understand that because the Cheeto is currently in office, you start to miss the former president (Barack Obama), that’s fine. He was an okay president IMO. But why on earth would you say you miss Bush? Do you idiots not remember what happened during his presidency? If you don’t, I’ll be happy to remind you:
We went to war with a country that did not attack us at all, we were forced to deal with the effects of the Patriot Act, and due to the tax cuts enacted by Bush, the rich became even richer and that lead to the national catastrophe known as the Great Recession which is still going on to this day.
Just because our current “president” has done his fair share of horrific actions doesn’t mean that the horrific actions of a former president are automatically good by comparison.
I know I was only a child during Bush’s eight years in office, but I don’t think that means I can’t call him a bad president. I don’t need to grow up in the Bush years to know that he sucked at his job in the same way that I don’t need to grow up in the ‘60s to know that Kennedy was assassinated.
