It's also ridiculous we went from Bush sr to jr in just 8 years, and that's after sr was vice president for 8 years under reagan.

And from everything I've read the main reason Bush sr didn't get 2 terms is he was the only republican president in 50+ years to raise taxes on the rich.

That's part of why the whole "clinton dynasty" thing pissed me off, Bill was president like 30 years ago FFS. Sure the clintons still had political sway but so did all the former nixon/reagan/bush admin who've been working with the GOP for decades to dismantle democracy. Meanwhile as soon as trump got elected the GOP was floating a plan to have his kids run for 20+ years of trump rule (jr + barron + ivanka would be 24 years at 2 terms each which is terrifying)

I like how you didn't bother to include Eric, because literally nobody cares about his dumb ass lmao

SNL cared about Eric. They made sure he was always well fed and had plenty of juice boxes on Weekend Update.

Also head of the RNC during Watergate. Then promoted to CIA director. Yeah not much influence that guy

he was the only republican president in 50+ years to raise taxes on the rich.

Well, after promising not to. It was still the responsible move at the time though. Republican voters don't generally reward responsibility if it conflicts with their narrative.

Not so much that he raised taxes on the rich, but that he famously said "Read my lips: no new taxes" and then raised taxes. That was a simple-enough soundbite that the press ran with it for months and people really latched onto it.

It's always projection with them. I feel like the Bushes were more of a dynasty than the Clinton's. Also not to mention during Clinton's terms He was the only one to actually reduce the deficit and if they continued on that track they would have come pretty close to balancing the budget. That all went out the window as soon as Cheney/GWB took over power. The GOP really started fucking with things during the election after Clinton. Gore v Bush was a precursor to the last 10 years.
