I pledge allegiance to my flag,
and to the republic for which it stands,
one nation, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.
You don’t get to force people to swear loyalty to a flag,
promise them liberty and justice their whole lives,
then call them radical socialists or communists
just because they expected you to mean it.
No gaslighting. That part's over.
You want to know who's doing real damage to this country?
It’s not the people asking us to live up to our ideals.
It’s the ones waving flags while trying to turn this place
into a theocratic fascist state.
I took the vision of America seriously.
And yeah, I’ve found out this country isn’t what I thought it was growing up.
But I’d still like to help make it that way.
So take your fake patriotism
and your god who can’t take a joke or love everybody,
and stuff it.
This is my America.
I know what “patriot” actually means.
And there’s no orange in that flag.
