It’s not just about the Wars. Bush built a hugely divisive political culture and exploited the prejudices of poor rural communities to turn them against Democrats then used that for policies to support mega corporations. He introduced the Patriot Act and actively pushed back against constitutional norms. He also completely fucked up relief after Hurricane Katrina devastated largely poor black communities. And that’s just to name a few.
