Too many of the writers to this section forget their childhood lessons. Remember the Pledge of Allegiance? It was forced into us more than any invocation or childhood song. I bet you all can say with me the last six words, so let’s do it together: “with liberty and justice for all.”

What does this not say?

“With liberty and justice for all American citizens.”

“With liberty and justice for all those still supporting the Epstein class.”

“With liberty and justice for all white Christians and nobody else.”

“With liberty and justice for all who look like and agree with me.”

For all. It’s very simple because there’s a full stop after it. That’s where it stops. FOR ALL. I think people who struggle with this concept are the ones who truly hate this country, and I don’t blame them. We need foundational change, starting with deposing our current fascist regime and scrapping the laws that protect property over people.
