New York Times reporter Margaret Renkl believes that patriotic Americans who love the USA and President Trump have hijacked the U.S. flag from liberals.
But this certainly is a flagrant corruption of the truth.
‘NYT Karen’ and her ilk burned the flag and threw it away.
This by Joe Hoft on thegatewaypundit.com.
Today the American flag has been co-opted by the very cohort who rejected it so roundly during my childhood. Driving through rural Tennessee last week, I saw an American flag hanging from the bucket of a cherry picker parked on the side of the road. The flag waved above a tent offering fireworks for sale. The flag was even bigger than the tent.
Take a drive through any red state, and you will see American flags flying above truck stops, dangling from construction cranes, stretched across the back windshields of cars, emblazoned on clothing and, of course, waving from front porches—and not just on the Fourth of July.
“The sheer volume of American flag paraphernalia that white people seem to own boggles my mind,” tweeted the Times columnist Tressie McMillan Cottom last month.
I’m pretty sure white people are buying this stuff.
But not all of us. Old Glory has become such a strong feature of Trump rallies that many liberals have all but rejected it, unwilling to embrace the symbol of a worldview that we find anathema.
“Today, flying the flag from the back of a pickup truck or over a lawn is increasingly seen as a clue, albeit an imperfect one, to a person’s political affiliation in a deeply divided nation,” Sarah Maslin Nir wrote last year in The Times.
My husband and I stopped hanging up our own flag years ago, long before it got usurped by the MAGA crowd. Our old maple tree had simply grown around the flag mount over the years, eventually enfolding it entirely, and we never got around to putting up another.

NYT Karen looks down on those who respect our flag, and she doesn’t even seem cognizant of her own racist remarks about “white people who buy this stuff.”
NYT Karen conveniently forgets that segregation in the South was a democrat policy. The same democrat gangs held slaves a century earlier.
She talks about Watergate but not the Russia collusion nightmare created by Hillary or the stolen election of 2020.
She says she cries about ‘babies in cages’ on the Southern border, an Obama policy, but disregards 60 million babies in the womb killed by abortions over the past 49 years.
[Her] article perfectly encapsulates the liberal mindset.
NYT Karen is upset because patriotic Americans, who have watched others die for our freedoms, celebrate and love our flag. We love our flag because it symbolizes the lives given for our freedom.
Young men died for our freedom. They fought in bloody wars and sacrificed everything so we can live free.
We happen to be the same people who love America and voted for President Trump.
What NYT Karen will likely never understand is that American patriots love this country and will die for it.
We will work tirelessly to prevent stolen elections in the future and to prevent American jobs from being sent overseas.
We reject corrupt politicians in our government and insane and expensive foreign wars with no purpose.
We fight for our country, our freedom, free and fair elections, and American loving leaders like President Trump.
That is the difference between patriots and liberals.
We Patriots salute our flag despite the policies and politicians who attempt to destroy our freedoms and our children’s future.
We Patriots salute freedom and the lives lost protecting and preserving our freedom.
We Patriots are gratefully reminded and encouraged by our flag that Freedom is Not Free and this is our call to action when required.
God speed to Conservatism.
And may God and our hard work save America from the Obiden transformation.
