I mean, his first election can be called an honest mistake, but how can
a nation continue to follow such an insane leader with such dangerous
ideas?

By comparison with some previous Presidents, Bush is a genius and the
epitome of sanity. Look up accounts of some of the pre-WWII presidents,
back to the 19th century.

Give me some backup please. After Nixon that is a really strong assertion
to make.

Nixon was a twit. He was solely responsible for 5000 MORE deaths in
Vietnam than were needed, due to his disdain for "losing face".

He also devalued the gold standard, a move that will have economic
repercussions for the next century.

His most famous remark for me was:

"Don't confuse me with the facts."
