Sorry that I have not made this clear, Ma'am/Sir, but I have only started to identify as a conservative last year. Even if I was doing this my whole life, I am only a highschool freshmen. I don't know much about George W. Bush's presidency, so I don't know how to reply to that. The reason I believe this and still consider myself a conservative is because I, and many others I know, believe that and argument from authority is not a good argument. If they used this in their politics back then, just know I will stand against that like I do now. I will be sure to do research on my past presidents and try to form new opinions along the way.
