Yep.But at least the Union had the structure that allowed Grant to finally get command. I was just thinking we have the same sort of thing today and am watching who will be the ‘Grant’ of our time. I think there are several good choices. Because this war will not be over with the election of 2024. We need to root this enemies out, hammer and tongs.

And along those lines, it’s going to play out exactly the same way: Hindsight will say, “Why didn’t we elect X sooner?” Well, because like General Grant, whoever X will be is unknown to us now, or maybe little-known is a better way to put it. Someone who is quietly putting in the work, making the sausage, and when we finally put them in charge, will shine brightly in the post-Trump chaos that will surround the final collapse of the fascist right.
