I have to admit, my corner of tumblr seems remarkably passive about this past week. No freaking out, no mad panic, no "it's the end of the world"
Just "meh" and "so lets move on and do what we need to do"

Bush was terrible but wasn't embracing fascism. He never had a project 2025 plan to kill democracy.
This isn't your daddy's nightmare here, this situation is much, much worse and I think this poster is very much understimating that here.
The only differences there are between Bush and Trump are that Bush succeeded in stealing an election and was smart enough to try to hide his evil shit and soften it with Orwellian language instead of crowing about it from the rooftops.
The danger is more that the systems that resisted Bush's fascism have been weakened, namely the Supreme Court.
