Non-American here.

I guess Bush is one example, what about other examples before him?

It's a patriot thing. They vote to show their support for troops by making things less complicated.

Even without the War, Trump was going to win though.

The Alt Left has everyone including the Left terrified of them. So will be a easy win for Trump. Especially with the Alt Left already proclaiming victory again and screaming REEEEEEE at anyone with a different opinion than them.

But at least in 2024 we will have our first female President (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez). I expect awesome things from her.

At the very least, even Republicans who didn't support the president (for Bush, not being extreme enough, for Trump, being a jerk to everyone even churches), they'll support the president during a war. So expect them all to vote for him in the election.

It wholly depends on the situation and the president, but yes, it often corresponds to a big uptick due to people feeling more patriotic.

History has show more often than not that the incumbent usually wins. Not always, though.

This is accepted as truth, but there aren't all that many examples to go off of that can't be explained by other factors. I'm not sure you can analogize Bush 04 to Trump 2020, and beyond that you're basically going back to FDR

Prior to Bush and the Iraq War, the last war was Desert Storm... and that one took place during the entirety of George H.W. Bushs one term as president from 1988-1992.

Going back even further would be the Vietnam War, from 1955-1975. Here are the presidents during that stretch:

Dwight Eisenhower, 1953-1961 (re-elected in 1956)
John F Kennedy, 1961-1963 (assassinated)
Lyndon Johnson, 1963-1969 (succeeded Kennedy in 1963, was re-elected in 1964)
Richard Nixon, 1969-1974 (re-elected in 1972, resigned in 1974)
Gerald Ford, 1974-1977 (succeeded Nixon in 1974)

So during that timeframe, no incumbents lost an election.

We didn't have ground troops in Vietnam until 65, and withdrew under Nixon.

Jesus, and I was even staring at Hubert Humphreys face as I was double checking my facts. Thanks, I updated my post accordingly.
