The oligarchy will whitewash him for public consumption

Yes, but the guy used bush as an example, because the guy was dumb. He isn’t trying to say bush was smart.
There’s absolutely a strain of liberal discourse that has decided actually Bush wasn’t that bad, and chose to ignore that much of what Bush did was lay the legal groundwork for what Trump is now running rampant with.
That is true, but that’s not happening in this specific comment.
