    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.

          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.

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