Donald Trump skipped her funeral, and I approve! She was a rotten, terrible human being. She was the mother of a war criminal and the wife of a former CIA head and insecure, war-mongering Vice President and President. I acknowledge quite a lot of things about her. I acknowledge that she had a hard life as a young woman. I acknowledge that she had a traumatic miscarriage. And I appreciate that she consistently supported reproductive rights (mostly privately, but sometimes publicly).

However, even after acknowledging all that, I refuse to forget all the terrible things about Barbara Bush. Somehow, we're supposed to forget that Bush was a racist, and had zero empathy or sympathy for the poor. She also had no desire to acknowledge the cost of our wars. At least Nancy Reagan was evil and had some polish (albeit creepy). Barbara was evil and gave zero fucks. She was a most inelegant person, like her husband. And no amount of being good early in life makes up for her being evil in the second half of her life. Some people need to be forgotten from history. Barbara Bush is one of them.

And I won't criticize her or George Sr. on their move from Connecticut to Texas. We Americans have the right to move to any state we want. But to anyone who made the argument that Barbara Bush was great Texan woman, I just have two words: Ann Fucking Richards.
