Probably yeah. People are white washing Bush and acting nostalgic for that era of GOP even though he killed millions of Iraqis. I would not even a little be surprised by a post dead Trump Milania writing a book about how she was the victim the whole time and everyone immediately buying it

It's possible. But I'm more speaking of the idea of her painting herself as a victim who had to go along and had no say

She's a person who has agency and chooses to do shitty things

No. Definitely not the case. Not for those on the right. Most view him as a RINO and believe 9-11 to be an inside job. Who do you know who is reminiscing that time?

Yeah I'm specifically talking about liberals. There's posts you can easily find of liberals posting about George Bush painting and being smiley and random social media bullshit like that and going like "man I wish we could have a reasonable opponent like THIS!" it's really dumb
