60. Not to pick nits...

Shrub's cult became the original MAGA - "The TEA party"... they were in the Bush Administration and GOP circles, asshats like the Brooks Brothers Rioters all came through from the Florida recount in 2000 to the Bush Admin to the TEA Party to the MAGA crowd...

And Cheney was the real power in that admin with Bush serving as figurehead and poser. There was just as much hate and vitriol from them minus the autocratic tendencies of Two Scoops.
