I was a teenager during the W. years and I just remember it as the bleakest time. Not the best time in my life and just terrible politically. Very similar to the Biden years (W. and Biden are almost the same guy in so many ways), except imagine that no one is fighting back (except some pretty desperate people in Iraq and Afghanistan I guess) and all you know about Marxism comes from the cow poster on the wall of the English teacher’s classroom. Don’t get me wrong, things are still very bad now…but back then, they were possibly worse.
