Re: George H. W. Bush

It's definitely frustrating. It wouldn't bother me so much if it wasn't part of the larger American pattern of refusing to ever acknowledge or engage with our history, particularly the bad aspects of it. We're so committed to amnesia - we don't want to understand or remember the things that Bush did, or any of our past political leaders did, or that we as a society did, even though the present is built on those things. From McCarthyism to the Iraq War and the Global Economic Meltdown. There are never any consequences or long term repercussions. We just make a prestige movie about it and assume that the problem is fixed. But it doesn't go away. The people who did these things don't disappear, nor do the impulses that led them to do it, unless we think about them and engage with them. And it makes us feel bad and so we don't. 80% of America prefers to live in a fantastical dream and it's killing us.

Continued Reagan's HIV policy, pretty much gave the game to the Conservative Christianity, and lived through fear that Desert Storm would turn into another Vietnam with a draft. Not times I remember fondly.

But it seems like most people just don't want to remember it. It's a bummer. So they just act like it didn't happen.
