It's becoming increasingly clear that Trump, Fox News, and the religious right don't care. They are determined to rule us with an iron fist whether we want it or not. They don't care about:
- Attempted murder of their political opponents
- Their political opponents
- Sexual assault victims
- Black people getting murdered by out of control police
- The LGBT (and especially the T) community
- Women
- Minorities
- Children
- Mass shooting victims
- Mass shooting witnesses
- Veterans
- The unemployed
- Homeless people
- Part time and minimum wage employees
- Anyone who's not straight, white, male, and Christian
- Atheists
- Anyone who doesn't wave the flag and respect the anthem enough
- The retired
- The soon to be retired
- The disabled
- The environment
I could go on and on. We're all cannon fodder for the upper 1%. They don't care about the people, they only care about power and money.

(24,653 posts)It has to be one of the dumbest meaningless pledges I have ever encountered.
I don't need that utterance to affirm loyalty to my country. I do that by being civically engaged, voting, and volunteering in my community to help others.

(409 posts)population, and 100% of sociopaths are Republicans (not a fact, just my opinion), then more than 1 out of every 10 Republicans are a sociopath. That would honestly make a lot of sense.
