We also can't forget that Bush lost and the Dems rolled over and let that happen. I honestly don't see how Bush was any less bad for us than Trump but for some reason everyone is just cool with it.

Agreed. It's recency bias. Reagan caused horrible damage as well. I don't remember much specific about Bush Srs fckery.

9/11 was coopted into some seriously bad actions and policy. If it weren't for the attack Bush 2 may have been a 1 term president.
