Well, certainly the Bush/neo-con government has changed the US in unforeseen and alarming ways. Being an endlessly curious person, I visit all kinds of odd corners of the internet, including some of the forums where even a year or two ago Bush was regarded as a great man, almost hero-worshipped. Now even his most rabid supporters have turned against him. There are fanatically fundamentalist Christian sites who really, truly think that Barack Obama is the prophesied Anti-Christ, harbinger of the Rapture, and even they can't find anything good to say about Bush.
