I remember that Bush wanted to place state National Guard militias under direct Federal control and not under that of the repsective state governors - a clear repudiation of the Second Amendment - and nobody saw an existential threat to our democracy there.
Of course they didn’t. Bush was a Real American™— white, male, straight, Christian, and Republican.
If Obama tried that, the same people who defended Bush for that would go on shooting sprees.
