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.

it’s kind of a hybrid. a republic is where the people elect representatives to make the day to day decisions and the general stuff. as opposed to a true democracy where every citizen would vote on very issue/bill/proposal/whatever.
for some issues, the elected representatives, ie mayor, senator, etc make all the decisions and this is more true for the federal government. for local and state issues, it’s more a democracy where addendums are put onto the ballot for everyone to vote on.
