Radical filmmaker Michael Moore is facing backlash after releasing a new version of the Pledge of Allegiance that ditches patriotism for progressive ideology and calls out “MAGA heads” by name. In a rambling post on his Substack, Moore claimed he’s fighting to save the country—by gutting one of its most iconic traditions.

Instead of pledging allegiance to the flag or the United States, Moore’s version opens with, “I pledge allegiance to the people of the United States of America,” and swaps “one nation under God” for “one person, one vote, one nation, part of one world.”

He describes his pledge as a rallying cry for progressive unity and a declaration of war against the America that elected Donald Trump.

“For you. For me. For the people and for the country that deep down — in spite of its MAGA-heads, in spite of its insanity — we’ve decided to fight for its survival,” Moore wrote, casting half the country as obstacles to his vision of “true democracy.”

Moore’s rewrite continues with socialist undertones, calling for “everyone! A seat at the table! Everyone! A slice of the pie!” He concludes with “liberty and justice, equality, and kindness and the pursuit of happiness for all,” wrapping his agenda in vague emotional appeals.

Critics blasted the rewrite as anti-American and delusional. Moore, they point out, seems more interested in replacing the U.S. with some globalist utopia than preserving the country he claims to love.

Even more striking is Moore’s hypocrisy. Just last year, he raged against Americans for electing Trump, saying, “We are not a good people,” and listing what he called the country’s “sordid laundry list of evil deeds.” But now he wants everyone to join hands and pledge loyalty—not to the nation, but to his ideology.

Moore encouraged readers to treat activism like breathing, saying, “Can we all, all of us, together, pledge to not skip a day right now without taking some simple sort of political action?”

He’s essentially asking progressives to wage a daily campaign against half the country in the name of tolerance, kindness, and “true democracy.”

But Moore’s confusion runs deeper. He insists the U.S. needs to become a democracy—apparently unaware that the Constitution established a constitutional republic, not mob rule by majority vote. That distinction is foundational to American government and civil rights, yet Moore seems eager to ignore it in favor of identity politics and collectivist slogans.

Moore’s pledge, while mocked by many, has already been embraced by a segment of the far-left that shares his disdain for nationalism and traditional American values. But for most Americans, it’s yet another example of how the progressive movement is more interested in tearing down than building up.

Rather than uniting the country, Moore is doing what he does best—sowing division, preaching elitism, and demanding conformity to a political worldview that leaves no room for dissent. His vision of “one world” isn’t about unity—it’s about erasing national identity and silencing anyone who disagrees.

As Moore tries to rewrite the American story, millions of Americans will continue standing for the original pledge—one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. And they’ll do it without apology.
