Bushists! I had wondered what word history would use....
and now we know.

<snip>"Bushist."
That's an adjective that may soon enter our political lexicon. It points to a radical political philosophy -- best expounded by President George W. Bush -- that describes both an aggressive military agenda and the surrendering of government to the world's most exploitive and anti-environmental corporations.

In a cultural context, Bushist may also come to describe a person who continues to insist the world is flat, even in the face of overwhelming and damning evidence. Here are several other meanings:

Meaning three: a person who remains completely oblivious to reality, even as Rome is ablaze. Meaning four: someone who initiates war, while claiming to be divinely inspired, doing the peaceful work of The Father. Meaning five: one who questions the loyalty and patriotism of those with divergent viewpoints. Meaning six: one who continuously flip-flops as a result of extreme political pressure (as opposed to one who flip-flops without political pressure).
