When young - I was the liberal, and drove my father crazy. This highlighted section so hits home (I've heard it from my dad, and not a month ago, I. SAID. IT.)
I didn't mean it - but I thought it.
Now I'm older, I connect with your piece, but from the other side, looking from my (largely) conservative views toward my daughters' views, both liberal. We've been able to be civil (only a couple of meltdowns!), but like you, I'm trying to understand 'the other side' better.
Good stuff Taylor - I enjoy your work.
