Is it actually common in America to see TDS randomly kick in like that also irl?

Bush 2 was clearly part of the plan for the "powers that be." He was supposed to be the final Republican president by making Republican/Conservative a dirty word you were ashamed to be associated with. That's why such a milquetoast and boring man was treated like the Devil himself.
And it worked. Literally no one under 70 will openly call themselves that. It took Trump's sheer force of personality to uncuck the right wing from its little hole of self loathing and shame, and even still those specific terms/party affiliation is hard for most.
Bush 2 was supposed to be an education president, and generally the country was focused on domestic issues. Don't forget the dotcom crash. Neoconservatism snuck in the backdoor. 9/11 was way too convenient. Bush is a simpleton, but the people behind him were/are the devil.
I always figured the powers that be had multiple factions and they looked at elections like a game. Bush's faction ("the hillbillies") wanted GW in there but at the end of the day no matter who got in would be controlled.
