If the Democrats overtly ditched the Constitution, would you still insist upon yourself and others to recite or at least standup in respect for the Pledge of Allegiance to a Flag which then repesents an anti-Constitutional regime, and perhaps an illegal regime?

yes
but your question is twisted and illogical
they cannot “change” what the flag represents
the flag does not represent the “Constitution”.... or any other govt document
It represents ideals from our founding
(50) stars for a new constellation of unity in federalism
“The star is a symbol of the heavens and the divine goal to which man has aspired from time immemorial; the stripe is symbolic of the rays of light emanating from the sun.”

13 stripes for the original colonies, and bravery of them all

red white and blue for colors taken form the Great Seal
“The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue, the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice.”

So you see, to ditch those ideals, they would have to ditch the flag for a new standard.

Therefore those ideals our flag symbols represent are worthy of respect, even if men and women holding office are not.
