George W. Bush was, at the time, the most incompetent oaf to ever win the U.S. presidency, DESPITE losing the popular vote. He was a laughingstock, riddled with scandal, made other countries hate us. His VP was openly homophobic. He harmed environmental policy, health care, and education, violated human rights, fed racism and xenophobia and everybody you can think of stood against him.
And he won a second term by 11 million more votes than the first one.
