I feel like a lot of HW did tends to be attributed to Reagan and Clinton. It was HW that gave us Lee Atwater and Clarence Thomas, two people who likely contributed to today's polarization, HW making a tax pledge, breaking it, and then getting primaried, facing a third-party opponent, and getting defeated may have also contributed to today's polarization, HW was likely heavily involved in Reagan's negoatiations with Gorbachav, the Kuwait War made Americans forget Vietnam, set the stage for the Iraq War, and may have provoked Al-Qaeda, and HW signed the Gun-Free School Zones Act and a national smoking age act.
