was drawing a complete blank for her
she started asking questions 
about REAGAN 
I'm LIKE 
well
REAGAN 
he's really the beginning
of the REPUBLICAN 
coalition with
FUNDAMENTALIST christians
& I THINK 
some kind of white supremacist
DOG WHISTLE 
which I wasn't really 
AWARE of at the time 
BUT 
REMEMBER 
all those 
DIXIECRATS 
changed party
AND
of course 
he opened the WAY
for the CONSOLIDATION of POWER
with the TRICKLE DOWN
DEREGULATION 
UNION busting
all the MERGERmania
I feel like 
ALL of THAT 
the END of the FAIRNESS doctrine
AND
I'm not SURE 
EXACTLY WHEN 
MONEY = FREE SPEECH 
HAPPENED 
& I'm not sure how I missed it 
BUT 
THAT
MAYBE MORE than ANYTHING 
has led to
the OLIGARCHY situation 
we are dealing with 
NOW 
I feel like
that's ALL
REAGAN'S LEGACY
