In #NationalReview, #WilliamFBuckley described building the modern US #political #conservatism that would later elect #Reagan. First step, he said was to #DrainTheSwamp, his words, for the purpose of excluding the #JohnBirchSociety, the #KuKluxKlan, etc—so folks could call themselves #conservative w/out being considered a #wingnut. Today the ultra-#MAGA chant "Drain the Swamp" unironically, not realizing the phrase was coined for them, by folk who still have regard for them.

All of me? Only one of me.
If you're talking about #NationalReview, when #WilliamFBuckley died, that journal was not left in good hands.
