49. To imply any DUer was supportive of Bush* because they point out personality differences

Sun Apr 19, 2026, 09:43 AM

Sunday

while in the WH does NOT imply they are blinded to his likewise disgusting behavior. But we have every right to point out these psychological differences even while the new threshold is previously unimaginable--that of Trump who has the malignant narcissism and sadism dialed up to Maximal. Both Bush* and especially Cheney shared some of those same traits, but Trump has set a new level of disgust.
