US New York Times Editorial Board Member ‘Disturbed’ by Sight of American Flags - New York Times is afraid of flags. MSNBC is afraid too.

On Tuesday, New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay graced MSNBC’s Morning Joe to recount a harrowing trip she took to Long Island this past weekend.

In the middle of a broader conversation about the January 6 Capitol riot and the scourge of Trump voters more generally — who she says believe that “their rights as citizens are under threat by simple virtue of having to share democracy with others” and see “Americanness as whiteness” — Gay launched into not-so-scary story time.

“I was on Long Island this weekend and visiting a really dear friend and I was really disturbed. I saw you know, dozens and dozens of pick-up trucks with expletives against Joe Biden on the back of them, Trump flags, and in some cases just dozens of American flags which, you know, is also just disturbing because essentially the message was clear. It was: ‘This is my country, this is not your country, I own this.”


“Right!” co-host Mike Brzezinski chimed in as Gay’s tale reached its climax.

While Gay was keen to describe the expletive-laden bumper stickers she spotted on those menacing Long Island pick up trucks, she said nothing of the profane late night monologues that Americans were exposed to on a near nightly basis for the last four years.

This bitch:

I saw you know, dozens and dozens of pick-up trucks with expletives against Joe Biden on the back of them, Trump flags, and in some cases just dozens of American flags which, you know, is also just disturbing because essentially the message was clear. It was: 'This is my country, this is not your country, I own this.'

Also this bitch:

Because, you know, the Trump voters who are not going to get onboard with democracy, they’re a minority. You can marginalize them, long-term.

Sure does sound like she's the one saying "this is my country, this is not your country, I own this."

To be fair, everyone I've met on FB with an American flag or bald eagle profile pic has been an aggressively stupid asshole.

Being drunk, aggressive, stupid, and an asshole is your American God Given Right by White Jesus.

What kills me about these people, and I use that word in it's loosest sense, is that there's a perfectly good not-America just north of us, where they can live in almost American conditions, have the shitty healthcare they claim to want, never see an American flag, since it's Not-America, and be ruled by the limp wristed iron fist of Fidel Castro's ambiguously gay bastard son. I'm sure Not-America has many fine cities they could live in too and the worst thing they'll meet is the Quebecers.

Cancer is never satisfied to stay in the tumor.

Hey @Hollywood Hulk Hogan, are we still the anti-American traitors?

 

[Trapped Under Rice]

While this journalist is fucking retarded, there is an interesting observation here. If we weren't in the worst possible timeline, the American flag would be a symbol that any American (save some anarchists or anti-gov people or whatever) could proudly fly. But some time around the Iraq war, at the latest, it became a divisive issue. The left, being pussies, allowed it to be appropriated by people who wrapped themselves in the flag to justify anything, and who were unwilling or unable to criticize the motivations, incitement or methods of the war. The left let the right claim the flag, because they didn't want to be associated with the beliefs of the people who placed it on everything. So, if you see an American flag on a bumper, it's more likely than not the driver is a conservative.

All that being said, being triggered by other people's political opinions is fucking pathetic.

If we weren't in the worst possible timeline, the American flag would be a symbol that any American (save some anarchists or anti-gov people or whatever) could proudly fly. But some time around the Iraq war, at the latest, it somehow became a divisive issue. The left, being pussies, cringed and allowed it to be appropriated by people who wrapped themselves in the flag to justify anything, and who were unwilling or unable to criticize the motivations, incitement or methods of the war. So, more or less, the left let the right claim the flag, because they didn't want to be associated with the beliefs of the people who put it on everything. For better or worse, if you see an American flag on a bumper, it's more likely than not the driver is a conservative.

All that being said, being triggered by other people's political opinions is fucking pathetic.

The bizarre thing among all of this though they flip out at the sight of an American flag or at the idea that people fly their nation's flag here, they're trying to go full patriot over the capitol building and that anybody who doesn't love it should leave.

Aw great, now he's gonna shit up the thread. Thanks, dude.

[Hüftpriester]

Leftists: Look at all these White Trump supporters, I hate them so much! Can't we just get rid of them?

An alarming amount of White Trump supporters and right wingers: We hate you too. We used to tolerate you but for the past 10 years we decided to stockpile guns and ammo like never before. We're waiting for you faggots to try to do something about it.

This is really the thing at the bottom of all the tension, imo. These spooks know that even if they completely poz out the military, they don't stand a chance against an angry, well-armed population. They wish they could round us all up but they've realized there's way too many of us and we would win. So they just go on Morning Shlomo and seethe. Get fucked bitch!

Offended by the American flag while living in America as an American citizen? Well then you can move to Africa and tell us what a progressive and accepting magical place it is, or...

That's because in order to immigrate to Canada, you're expected to actually demonstrate some useful and needed skill before they even consider to give you citizenship.

For all it's reputation as a super-progressive country, Canada's immigration system is far more stringent than ours.

That's true, I'm sure Not-America already has it's own caste of sub-human journalists and has no need for ours. But that doesn't mean I can't want them to all go there.

Most of the 7 billion in thus world prefer Whiteness to Niggerliness. When we conquer a place we at least make it livable.

I can make these freaks have a mental breakdown without lifting a finger. Is this what true power feels like?

This actually makes the redneck aesthetic appealing.

DAY OF THE RAKE.

They're just mad their flag is a fucking leaf.

Hey, Mara, if you hate it here so much, why not move back to Africa to be among your brothers and sisters? They'll absolutely LOVE you over there!

When I heard "journalist" and something about New York, my spidey sense immediately told me (((God's Chosen))). Guess I can't be right all the time.
