Biden subordinates religion's role in the founding of America -- with the direct implication that the United States is not strictly a "Christian nation" as many claim.
Then your memory is lacking, sorry to say. Bush is the patriot act, Iraq war, border fence, torture program, PRISM, secret courts, worst economic crisis since the great depression, too big to fail, surplus-to-deficit, rich tax cuts, axis of evil, no child left behind (deceptively-named act that burdened public schools), global embarrassment guy. He is actually worse than trump, and unlike trump’s fumbling ass, bush was well-connected enough to successfully steal the election in 2000 with help from the supreme court. Don’t help republicans shift the overton window by rehabilitating that war criminal’s image and treating him as some sort of moderate.
Feel free to list them. As for COVID, Biden was just as eager to open things up, he was just lucky that the vaccine became a thing as he entered office, so he could fast-track that (Trump tried to sabotage the rollout on his way out because he’s a sore loser). Lockdowns weren’t popular among the capitalist class because of the impact to business, and you can see they weren’t taken seriously with a number of politicians flouting lockdown rules (including democrats). As a reminder, Bush was warned about a potential terrorist attack happening and then let 9/11 happen on his watch, then used that as an excuse to launch two wars and install a vast surveillance apparatus, secret courts, and a torture program.
We’re doing a comparison. Me pointing out that Bush was just as bad in this regard is not a “handwave” it’s part of the comparison. Your “many worse things” list turned out to be a damp squib.

Do you know how many worse things I could list about Trump? Shall we start with how he let a million Americans die with his COVID policy?

Okay, let’s start with all the “great” things Trump did for queer people. (I’m guessing you will handwave all of this away.)

Do you think bush was some sort of champion of LGBT rights? He also attacked them as a distraction. It’s a common republican tactic.
I never said he was. I did predict you would handwave that away though. Thanks for proving me right.

You pointed out that he was just as bad. You didn’t provide any evidence to that effect.
