If we are to have another contest in the near future for our nations existence. I predict that division will not be the Mason Dixons line. Patriotism and intelligence on the one side , and on the other side superstitions ambition and ignorance on the other.
I quoted Grant at work last night to a fellow vet who is Union teamster as I yet. He is all in on Qanon election fraud trumpig supporter.
He replied to me yea Grant was a alcoholic , I said yup he may have liked the booze and so did I at once shit I probably still like it. If it wasnt for campral and yes Grant was booted from army over it. Yet he re-engaged to deliver us the nation we have today.
I smiled as I turned off one American news network taking lunch. I said surely today Im on the side of patriotism and intelligence no propaganda while I eat , its a hobby of mine bouncing the Qanon tribe.

(58,634 posts)When told he should dismiss Grant for his drinking, Lincoln said, "I can't spare him. He fights."
It is also said that Lincoln offered to send a case of Grant's favorite whiskey to other generals in the Union army.
