I'm over here like , what do you mean?!? The Pledge of Allegiance isn't fascist! It's all about culture and perspective.

I mean, "culture and perspective" has lead to slavery, genocide, thousands of wars, sexism, racism, homophobia, etc.
Making it harder or inappropriate to call a spade a spade doesn't help solve the problem.
