I’m almost 50. I said the pledge of allegiance every day. Our education system is so messed up that they didn’t bother to explain what it meant.
Hell, I’m old enough that I also sang ‘Zippity Doo Dah ‘ every day also. Plus, we had the strap in school. Teachers and principals taking their anger out on 10 years olds. That was weird.

Sorry if this has been said already, but the words republic and democracy are general terms that mean the same thing, despite some people’s claims that they are different. Look at the root words for help: re (reign) + public (people) and dem (people) ocracy (regime). Political scientists to not make a distinction between the two, though some high-school civics teachers might. A republic doesn’t mean a representative democracy vs. a direct one where people vote on everything.
