I like the concept at least if I'm grasping it right a war vet that has majorly lost his grip on reality focusing on small detail and is obsessed with water comparing it to most things and hates being wrong and speaks pretty flowery when not in a full mood definitely interesting

"The price of progress." Brannam starts to look at the city and both ponies do too "With advances — and there are always advances, make no mistake, every day, there will be no more spaces like this. In about twenty years they will classify it as barbaric. A disastrous by-product of the old influence. Which then, happily, will be a thing of the past. Integration, they'll say. Integration will be the watchword. Welcome to the bosom of our community. Let's comfort you. Let's rebuild it. lo. We are a new society, and there is no place for exclusion."

I read that part but I couldn't fit it into the story, is he trying to say that there will be no artisanal cider or something else?

I think it's the extreme collectivist idea (basically everybody or a group belongs together means "you belong to us") which is a threat to self-determination and freedom of association. He paranoidly applies it wherever he can find an excuse to do so. It is also tied to being a veteran and that war is perceived as barbaric.

And the part where he complains about discarding the past to secure the future suggest that he is very traditional, or that he thinks he has been used and discarded.

Also, when Twilight says "our country needs guidance" probably means she believes in the necessity of a hierarchy. Likely going to be a major point of conflict as well.
