Even worse, some versions of the pledge make you swear “under god” which is fucked up. Christian Nationalists are what is destroying america.

It’s not that I disagree, but it seems like a very separate statement with very little connection to the main topic of this discussion.

We have a very specific and very pressing issue in the USA that deserves more focus than your broad global stroke.

You think backward-looking, misogynistic religious nationalist nutjobs trying to seize power are a specifically US problem?

Yeah, you can thank Eisenhower for that. Didn’t use to be like that. I usually pause at that point or idk maybe say under Satan.

Good How can there be different versions of the pledge? Is it that each state technically has their own pledge?

Under god is part of the pledge from my understanding. Beyond that, other states do have their own pledges.

The “under god” portion was added in the 50s or 60s, same with adding “in god we trust” to all currency

We added “under God” to the pledge in the 50s or 60s. At the same time we put “In God We Trust,” on the dollar. We were differentiating against the USSR which was an atheist state.

If you were expecting me to play google and give you a rundown on pledge of allegiance modern history, I’m afraid you’ve hit a dead end.

Indivisible is the funniest part to me though. It’s like saying the Titanic is unsinkable
