The majority of Democrats have a more favorable view of George W. Bush, once he trashed Trump. But during his Presidency, they hated him. He was illegitimate, and a war monger because he did Iraq exactly as the Democrats demanded, and so on.
BDS - Bush Derangement syndrome was the forerunner of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), and the descendent of RDS (Reagan Derangement Syndrome). Democrats and their media can't stand conservatives, can't argue the facts without losing, so resort to imagining in their opposition as the anti-Christ and seeing everything they do from that lens.

Fahrenheit 911 (2004) - This was a Michael Moore hit piece based loosely on some true events, taken out of context and editing that would make Joseph Goebbels proud. There are websites dedicated to debunking Moore's disinformation. This was released right before the 2004 election to sabotage GWB. It didn't work, he won by more in re-election than the first time.
Valerie Plame/Saddam and yellowcake - Saddam tried to get yellowcake (Uranium) from Niger. Joe Wilson wrote articles for NYT about that: but his spin was that since Saddam failed, it proved Bush was wrong to think Saddam had WMD's. The CIA's position was that it proved he had an active program. But these articles got reporters looking into Joe Wilson's wife (Valerie Plame).
