That's a funny way of spelling George W Bush
Bush was only there for eight years. The rest of the time Jon went after the Republican establishment for being on the wrong side of the "Gay Civil Rights Movement," or being obstructionists in Congress via the Tea Party movement, or anything to do with Sarah Palin, or in general opposing Obama implementing progressive policies.

Bush was only there for eight years.
At the end of the day the most powerful influence on the average person's views is the simple "are you better off" test. From the Millenial perspective, you (or your family) was almost certainly worse off in 2009 than in 2001. And from 2009 to 2017 you've had the spectacle of Republicans constantly trying to draw equivalencies with Bush (I think there were something like twelve "Obama's Katrinas") when the actual record of the Obama admin has been, if not static, at least a far shallower decline.
