Because Nixon signed the 26th Amendment, I was able to cast my first vote in a general election for Shirley Chisholm . I was clear-eyed my vote would not elect her, but I wanted my vote for her to signify what I BELIEVED IN FOR OUR COUNTRY. And so I could tell this story and ONE DAY it would be entirely relevant. ❤️🇺🇸🗳️🗳️🗳️

@blogdiva Reagan’s counter-revolution began before 1968 or ratification of the #26thAmendment. He won the California Governor’s race by demonizing college students, especially the #FreeSpeechMovement at #UCBerkeley, and minority voters. He then ended free public education at the college level while jump-starting homelessness by closing many residential mental health facilities.
