It will never make sense so long as you keep believing that it’s either democrats or republicans.

Cool, I hope you’re working on the party outreach and actual organization and paperwork of your local third party of choice, because now’s the fucking time if you think voting for Dems or the GOP are indistinguishable. Or stocking up on molotovs. Or doing literally anything other than your best to sabotage the evil shitlibs without any alternative in place.

The shitlibs are sabotaging themselves and the barest of minimums are already put me above head and shoulders above the most outspoken of them

So that’s a ‘no’, then. Great. Glad to see we’ve learned absolutely nothing from the past 7 months.

…they made people that didn’t have freedoms say the pledge.

You did have the freedom, but nobody told you that you did. There aren’t a lot of perks to growing up a Jehovah’s Witness, but never having recited the pledge is one of them.

I didn’t think that was the kind of freedom they were referring to.

And “made” is relative. I’m an atheist, so I skipped the “under God” part. I was in a pretty liberal school district so I’m sure I could have gotten away with not doing it at all, but peer pressure is a hell of a drug.

In practice, it’s the “Just Us” system. The reality of this is just laid more bare in recent years.

Most of the people who have “we the people” plastered on their car probably don’t realize the preamble to the constitution also says “insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare”.

I bet that most of those people if told there was a country (without telling them which country it was) whose constitution says they must “promote the general Welfare” would say that it must be a Communist country.
