Isn't that Grant from ACW? Not american, but how does that work with a union general and MAGA?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Grant, who put in more effort than any other president would for the next 70 years to create a more racially equal government, appointing numerous minorities into government positions and advocating for a purely secular school system, free of Christianity or any other religion.

He'd be decried as a woke DEI liberal globalist if conservatives actually knew anything about the past.

They're convinced the party flip never happened and their race based white Christian nationalist bullshit is "patriotic".

Well you see, in order to throw America away for a traitor felon, you have to brain damaged enough to believe the union busters lies about helping unions.

Wrong use of union there but good spirit

Union in the context of their comment means "The North" during the Civil War, its the United States (Union) of America vs Confederate States (Confederates) of America

They were pointing out how contradicting it is to have a Yank general (specifically Unconditional Surrender Grant, a PRESIDENT who fought for the North) is their PCP while being a MAGAt (usually pro-confederates)

Fun fact Grant allowed himself to be thrown into a drunk cell when he was caught drunk riding.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Speeding, if memory serves, twice in two days (the first time he was let off with a warning), and the cop who caught him both times was a Black veteran. Grant just admitted he earned his ticketing and paid the fine, lmao.

My bad, my brain mustve decided that riding under the influence was funnier.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Grant has a reputation as a heavy drinker, which might have influenced it. Mostly his drinking days were pre-Civil War, though.

Oh I gotcha, I totally misread that, thanks.
