(46,804 posts)my daughter would chat with people from other countries while playing games online and they pretty much understood that GW didn't reflect most Americans. Though I don't suppose they thought we would or could do even worse.

I learned to not believe that things couldn't be worse. Who one earth could have imagined such a vulgar, immoral man in the White House? Apparently there is no bottom, which is a terrifying thought.

(28,969 posts)During the Bush administration I flew to Europe wearing a T shirt that read:
"I'm sorry my president is an idiot -- I didn't vote for him" in four languages.
I'm going to Europe again, and though I've been looking for that shirt, haven't found it...I guess I threw it out, not thinking I'd ever need it again.

(46,804 posts)that we would do worse, much worse than Bush and in such a short span of time?
Bush was a terrible, incompetent president, but at least he came across as somewhat human. Now we have an absolute monster in the White House, who has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I'm afraid to even think we couldn't do worse, as that was what I thought during the Bush years.

You express it well.
