He hasn't grown. The media is just changing their presentation of him.

To all those saying "OMGZ WAR CRIMINAL!!!!!111" If you're going to ignore his stellar legacy in Africa, you might as well ignore his horrible disaster in Iraq as well. At least a million lives were saved by his PEPFAR initiative.

@CAL-jj4om I was also in High School during Bush's Presidency and the black-hearted hatred the left had for him would have made Satan himself uncomfortable. Although I use the term "the left" somewhat loosely because his Presidency caused an unholy alliance between what we today call the "alt-right" and "regressive left".

No. The older he gets the more the media stops hating him. He hasn't changed, the media's portrayal of him has.

Leftists 2008: George Bush is worse than Hitler. Leftists 2021: Bush is an angel.

Don't talk about Iraq if you're not also willing to talk about PEPFAR.

And back then you were burning American flags, not putting them on your PFP.

He also saved the life of over 1.2 million Africans via PEPFAR.

Cosmos Wonder Dog He was the same person, it's the media's agenda that has change.d

That's because the media you watch has gotten to like him so much more now that he's left office, simply because they see him as a tool against Trump.

No, the media has just changed their agenda.

George Bush was the man who united the regressive left and alt-right against him. Now they are tearing each other's throats out of Confederate statues.

If people can forget about the 1.2+ million have saved through PEPFAR, and clearly they have, they should be able to forget about all the people killed in Iraq.

Who's really lost their way? I remember when everyone crying "9/11 is an inside job!" and "ZIONIST!!!!!111" was a Democrat. It's the Republican Party that has changed, not Bush.

@bh1935 African children ask "Why not?"

@mrsj1417 Seeing as we have a volunteer army and Bush's support amongst the military was about 80% during the 2004 election, they probably do.

@gsgs3528 Everyone was calling Afghanistan "the good war" when he was in office.

Stop playing dumb. Everyone was calling the Afghan War "the good war" when he was in office.

Then the left can start hating him again.

@fullmetaljacket1379 At least 85% of civilians in Iraq were killed by the "freedom fighters" you were rooting for and wanted Bush to appease and hand Iraq over to, no doubt in large part because they knew people like you would blame their Western enemies for their atrocities. That's only the thing that could explain senseless violence like the July Soccer Bombings which seemed to target no specific sect and were just done to spill blood.

One of which you called "the good war" when he was in office.

@ZoraRyze If we don't care that he saved over a million Africans from AIDS in Africa, why should we care about the people who died from his decisions?
1
What are you talking about? Bush's post-9/11 rhetoric brought anti-Muslim sentiment way down in the country. People who said they had "favorable views of Muslim Americans" went from 45% to 59% from March 2001 to November 2001, and unfavorable views dropped from 24% to 17%.

Even as a Republican I think Bush was too idealistic for the job.

@derek1017 The overwhelming (upwards of 85%) of civilians in Iraq were killed by the "freedom fighters" you were rooting for an wanted Bush to hand Iraq over to, no doubt in large part because they knew you'd blame their Western enemies for their carnage. How else do you explain things like the July Soccer Bombings that targeted no particular sect or ethnicity?

@judykinsman3258 This is coming from the people who want to deny aid to impoverished families in Oakland CA on the basis of being white.

George Bus was always unusually "opened borders", that's literally one of the defining characteristics of a neo-con according to Pat Buchannan.

Everyone was calling the Afghan War "the good war" when he was in office.

It's the media that's changed, not Bush. When he was in office they hated him with a black hearted fury that would make Satan weak in the knees. Now they see him as a tool against Trump and the modern Republicans. Bush was the man who popularized the term "neocon" which Pat Buchannan described as "a globalist, interventionist, open borders ideology" in 2003. He was always very pro-immigration.

@Avishek Chowdhury This "real villain" saved over a million lives from AIDS through PEPFAR. Yet you hate him because he overthrew the most brutal dictator of the 21st century so people could elect their own government.
