Why I'm Rooting for the 1972 Landslide I Once Feared
[FT] I want a Trump win so big it sends a message to the Ruling Class that we are mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore.

I am not supposed to be rooting for Trump and MAGA. I’m supposed to be one of the million and change who huddles on my couch in terror, watching MSNBC as the results from Iowa trickle in. I’m supposed to somberly nod when Rachel Maddow tells her viewers they won’t show Trump’s speech.

Shut down the speech! I am supposed to say, as if any of this is normal. I will not watch it. I will not listen for myself and think for myself and judge for myself. I will instead fill my head with what Lawrence O’Donnell, Joy Reid, and the Queen of media, the Multi-Million Dollar Baby, Maddow herself tells me!

"Yes, turn it off," Bette Midler says. "Yes please!" moans Barbra Streisand. "It’s the right thing to do," says Rob Reiner, "to save democracy."
A cri d’coeur from Sasha Stone: California woman, screenwriter, film critic.
