The “W” example goes to how he was calling out any resistance against The War On Terror™ which was bought into by people of both parties and , well, everyone. No one was allowed to be against the war. Bad time. Talk about Nationalism.

Yeah. It’s a fair point but I still don’t think with that exception Bush saw his critics as the enemy. And tbh I meant his personal enemies. I never felt that Bush thought the critics of the war were as bad as Al Queda. The Reagan example though was Reagan joking and OA you know how I feel about Reagan so me defending this makes me feel icky but I can’t compare Reagan’s post shooting joke to Trump repeatedly treating his critics like enemies.
