Bush never incited a coup attempt, nor spoke about being a dictator, nor praised authoritarian dictators for their displays of power, nor was there a cult of personality around him that saw him as a sole source of truth.
Not that I’m defending Bush as a good president, but Trump is absolutely different and significantly more dangerous, and the cultists who follow him are as well.
