It’s more an alarm that given time and distance the American centrist egregore will probably also look backwards seeking to humanize & rehabilitate Trump. It’s the dark side of “perspective.” Bush’s post-Presidency popularity has spiked in part because he clears a new low hurdle.

We’re a very easily distracted people. Bush looks better in retrospect almost entirely because he’s not obviously psychologically unhinged to the degree Trump is and could put on a halfway decent facade of wanting to appear as presidential.
