I pledge allegiance

To the flag

Of the United States of america

And to the Republic

For which it stands

One nation

Under God

Indivisible

With liberty

And justice for all.

I do not pledge allegiance to a fascist country. I haven’t placed my hand over my heart in 10 years. I would sooner burn the flag than pledge.

I have also instructed my children to no longer pledge either.

Pro America programming:

Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of our nation. Acting to disenfranchise citizens from voting with plans from our current administration of jackbooted thugs at polling places is a threat to America.

Show threadLillyPipFeb 20

Hahahaha no.

This is how you force secularity on the population. I think they don’t have as much support as they think they have.

Show threadGutterRat42Feb 21
Project 2025 was highly unpopular. People just didn’t inform themselves before voting. I know people who voted for Trump who started freaking out about Project 2025. And I am here like “it was public, they didn’t even try to hide it.”
Show threadvaultdweller013Feb 21
In their mildest defense knowledge existing doesn’t mean it’s accessiblity is known, if you don’t know you should even be looking for a threat how could you possibly react to it? This is honestly the true threat of the right wing media bubble as a whole, it silences outside information with BS culture war, xenophobia, and generally inane slop. This is why I firmly think if you want to break the right ya need to remove their talking heads.

As a former broadcaster, I know as well as anyone that the FCC has never had control over programming. But since no one in DC has the balls, I guess that’s going to change.

Does this “pro-america” programming involve making truthful statements and quoting the law?

cafe.com/…/dojs-new-low-pirros-attempt-to-indict-…

I am not alone in my disgust over an administration that would punish anyone, let alone members of Congress, for simply reminding service members of their legal duties. Last week, a federal judge appointed by President George W. Bush issued an injunction blocking Hegseth from punishing Kelly for his role in the video. Finding that the Arizona senator had shown a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of his legal challenge, Judge Richard Leon wrote, “Defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly’s First Amendment freedoms and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees.” Even for a judge who frequently disregards the judicial norm of avoiding exclamation points in his legal opinions, this one was extraordinary. “To say the least,” he wrote, “our retired veterans deserve more respect from their Government, and our Constitution demands they receive it!” Charging them with a crime for their free speech would be even more egregious.

(Emphasis mine)

DOJ’s New Low: Pirro’s Attempt to Indict Lawmakers Over a Military Law Video

Give members of the Trump Administration credit for at least one talent: they can always go lower than we can possibly imagine.

Wish granted. FM 105.3 will air the pledge of allegiance 24/7 recited by the most symbolically patriotic person in america—Donald J Trump.

I say let’s have some broadcasting about American history worth celebrating:

  • The foundation of America and the allies that made it possible
  • The immigrants that built America
  • How slavery was abolished
  • The history of civil rights in America
  • How America built an empire after WW2 using soft power
  • Etc…

I know in many ways this is an attempt to brainwash folks into ultranationalism, however I also believe its more so an attempt at a “gotchya” that doesn’t work anymore.

I remember when they started forcing us in highschool to do the pledge every day, and anyone who opposed it was being chastised as an anti-American and “ungrateful to the brave soldiers who fought for our ‘right’ to pledge”.

I don’t think these stupid assholes are gonna have that same “gotchya” anymore. I think more people than ever agree the ultranationalism in the US is cringe, fascist and based in lies.

I did the pledge of allegiance in elementary school. You just did it. It was unthinkable not to. Then they stopped with that bullshit.

Then I learned they changed the pledge to add the under god part and that was the moment I realized it had all been bullshit propaganda.

I think it’s a case of oppinion for me being pro America would be to protect the American constitution and founder values of freedoms, report abuses of power, abuses on the constitution. So I glad they are supporting more reporting on this to be pro America. Right?
