I do remember Bushisms, yes.
lol But still, those tended to be things that the man actually said that were pretty wtf, rather than using a derogatory catchphrase to denounce his policies altogether. I don't remember Reagonomics so much (and I wondered if part of that was a generation gap or something lol) but was that actually used during his presidency? And even with those, it's not nearly as much as the name-squishing that's occurred during this administration; we're not even two years in, and I can come up with four off the top of my head, and there are probably lots more. We've still got two (or more, hopefully) years to go.
That's the other thing that gets me as well, is just the disrespect toward the office of President, no matter who is serving. Back when Bush was president, my mother got on my case if I didn't use his proper address, but now that a "liberal" is in office, screw that. Seems like just more conservative hypocrisy.
