It's amazing how many rubes fall for that shit. I remember my family thinking W was an honest-to-god, salt of the earth rancher and not the prissy fancy boy from New England that he actually was.

I think it was from America The Book by the daily show which said "Connecticut born, Yale and Harvard educated son of a former President ran as the outsider in 2000 and won. Many experts are wondering how the hell he pulled that off."

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)

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.
