NYT opinion piece wants you to ‘imagine America is an emotional teenage girl’

After Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won (not on election night but a few days later, when it seemed clear that the victory was real) my oldest daughter, now a teenager, emerged from her bedroom and started to dance wildly in our living room, without music even, legs kicking high, arms swirling, dancing as if she didn’t care who saw her joy and freedom.
…
When my daughter’s dance was done, she said, “Mom, we can hang the flag again!” We live very rurally, and of late, the flag here has been used as a battering ram. Young men purchase huge flags and affix them to the back of their trucks, arguably in violation of the U.S. Flag Code, yet these young men consider themselves patriots. They race their trucks right up onto the bumpers of other cars, as if they might drive over other Americans. While it might be youthful exuberance and love of country that compels them, it’s menacing for the rest of us.
…
America, my emotional teenage girl, I love you. LINK

She lives in Tivoli, NY. Dutchess County went for Biden 51% to 44%.
Imagine being so threatened by being only a 7% majority.

They live in a fantasy world...

Sounds like fantasy shite. Adults putting words in their kids mouths. So they can't put flags on trucks? Bitch probably thinks it was fine when people were burning them though.

There's too many folks out there lacking self-awareness. That's a drug induced narrative right there but I'm guessing she was completely sober.

Well, NYT, that’s very fricking sexist of you.
My teenage girl daughter is emotionally stable and will frick you up.

“We live very rurally.”
This is what she’s trying to say to her progressive friends:
“You know how those rural people are. A bunch hayseed hicks that cling to their guns and religion.”

Imagine being so
I have liberal friends and relatives in those parts. West Chester Co and Woodstock to be precise. Demographically it’s some of the whitest in America. Guess who are the first to take to social media to lecture the world about diversity and how poorly blacks are treated?

So you can only fly the Flag when we have a Democrat for President now?
Confused.

The writer is not clear. This is a rainbow flag she is referring to

Reminds me of Leslie marshall.
She was on Fox a few days after the 2016 election, spoke about how distraught her 9yr old daughter was, the night of the election. Her daughter was “crying, asking her if Donald Trump was going to kill people and her”....
Great parenting and that child is a direct reflection on Leslie

Always a great thing when 9 year olds stop playing with dolls and start watching CNN And start reading The New York Times.

"NYT opinion piece wants you to ‘imagine America is an emotional teenage girl’"
Haven't we had to actually live that for the last 30 years? Not working out too well, is it?

Samantha Hunt. I guess the C is silent.

Teenage girls don't have to pay taxes. Otherwise, she might be singing a different tune with these Democrats taking over.

Everything in the NYT comes from their imagination.

At first, I said, "bullshite, this didn't happen"...
But then, I read it again...

Probably a 19 year old, liberally indoctrinated college girl attending an overpriced university for a degree in gender studies, while still living at home with mom and dad.

Fair enough, given the amount of garbage they puke up I have no trouble imagining the NYT as a bulemic teenage girl.
