Pat Parker told it like it is. The poem demonstrates not just familiarity, but understanding of essential American political/legal texts, which is the foundation of the republic. She then shows how rhetoric is being used to not only promulgate the destruction of the country, but how certain neo-liberal academics (who have not engaged with the foundational texts as thoroughly as Parker), use rhetoric to defend the rhetoric of Nazis, fascists, alt-right, etc. And to avoid any possible ambiguity, Parker makes it abundantly clear the two are the exact same thing: you cannot yell fire in a crowded theater because it can cause harm to others, you cannot let fascists speak in public discourse because they will harm others. It's patently obvious, yet large swathes of society continue to say the opposite, likely because they tacitly benefit from the fascists themselves.
