The good thing is with unlimited presidential power like you get nowadays, you could just sign a shit ton of executive orders to force your will upon the people.
Do American kids actually recite an oath to their country EVERY DAY? I keep hearing about that everywhere but it kinds of blows my mind to much for me to accept it as fact.
For context, I went to elementary school in China before I came to Canada, and in both countries the most we've done is sing the national anthem during assemblies.
Yes, I grew up doing "The Pledge of Allegiance" daily. Through some court cases students won the right to abstain, but I don't know if I've ever seen it. You would make yourself into an outsider immediately

Only if you're a Republican and you don't do anything to hurt massive corporations or billionaires.

IMO, it should mean a commitment to liberty and justice for all. Meaning all.

It is the hypocrisy of liberalism since its inception. All men are equal, but some men are more equal than others. Men have rights, but women don't.

I grew up doing it, but my kids in elementary and middle school don't. It's changed.

She used to be a dominatrix, and it made her neck strong. Like bull.
