According to Snopes this is a correct quote. Seems eerily prophetic.

I’m sure Grant never imagined how “patriotism and intelligence” could get so bastardized into the conflation of patriotism and superstition (religion)

Did he really say that? Smart man.

Whoa!...Ulysses certainly called it; didn't he⁉️

He really was a lot smarter than a lot of people realize

Red States haven't progressed in over 150 years.

Respectfully I disagree. The reds took over our Fed gov’t and are dismantling America. See military in DC going to every blue state to usurp power of black mayors, mask wearing paramilitary kidnapping citizens off the streets because of the color of their skin, DOGE, Fox personnel in charge of us.

Prescient

Grant wanted to save the Union. Just watched a great documentary on him. He knew he had to defeat the enemy for Union to survive. He said, "The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on."

His strategy is still the fundamental strategy of the US Marine Corps to "find, fix and destroy the enemy with fire and maneuver" but he is not given credit for it. Instead, back in my day, we studied Lee and his tactical "genius".

Wise words.

Did he nail it or what

This entire speech is something to behold...a prediction of what today's republicans would become, and a warning. We are exactly where he warned us not to be. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/re...

Oh ... to have intelligent people in positions of power again.

This is so spot on that it’s hard to believe it’s not one of those made up quotes, but also, the rich white guys who wrote to Constitution had lived through the tyranny of a monarchy, so they knew from Day 1 what we would someday face. Too bad they were so optimistic to think institutions would hold

Holy cats! Nailed iT!💯👍😎✌️

The ignorance is by design. It’s shameful

the crazy has been handed down generation to generation.

Water. It will be over water. Texas will likely start it when the Ogallala runs out.

Punishing the confederate traitors would have been the correct move. Not doing so allowed the ideology to survive and fester.

Guess he saw this era coming. Very prescient.

Very Nostradamus-esque.

Spot on

Yes but yet physically it still follows the Mason-Dixon lines …

A'Mericans do know that the vast majority of them won't see the judaic heaven they spend their whole existences seeking, don't they? A'Merica needs to concentrate on giving up their lives and land to Israeli settlers. It's their god and their whole planet, never forget that

How profound these words are now as we seem to be exactly here at this moment in time.

That is something that is proving to be more Prophecy than opinion.

Just about there

Uh oh.

Only, the dumb fucking MAGA Nazis think they're on the intelligent and patriotic side, which only furthers the truth in this meme. They are a threat to democracy.

Grant was right all those years ago.

The electoral college supports white supremacy. We will never have fair presidential elections until the personcwith the most votes wins.

This time we don't let them go home and keep their weapons.

Wow he had the vision of 2025!!!

We have to stand up against the superstition, ambition, and ignorance of the MAGA's in all our efforts. Stand up speak out to save our democracy and our country under the rule of law.
