📎 AI Summary:
The thread centers on a conservative poster’s change of heart after watching a linked video about the post–9/11 actions of George W. Bush, arguing that while he initially supported the response to 9/11, he now sees those actions as wrong and “not a good politician” is ultimately an oxymoron. The main question is essentially whether those actions can be morally or politically justified, and the post frames the conclusion as independent of left/right labels. Overall sentiment is skeptical and disillusioned, with the author acknowledging the video may be viewed as politically biased but saying it no longer matters to him.

That has changed. I still consider myself a conservative, but not of the kind that was in power at that time. I never liked Bush senior, but I gave junior the benefit of the doubt. That was a mistake. I was reluctant to post this video, because it only gives credence to the left-wing, but at this point, I'm beginning to think it doesn't matter whether a person is left or right winged, because a "good" politician is an oxymoron.
