I am an American from
NY who lived in Chicago until 2016 right before the election. I remember encountering a man on my road trip moving back to NY at a rest stop in Toledo, Ohio who was wearing a Lock Her Up shirt. I felt compelled to strike up a conversation with him in an attempt to understand what made Trump voters tick. I expected him to be all the cliches associated with Trumpism. Much to my surprise, he was a rather nice, articulate, intelligent and gracious guy who (while I disagreed with much of his mindset) served as a microcosm of how many average middle class Americans had become disenchanted with the class inequality and the dying concept of the American Dream and the desire to shake up the status quo by voting for someone like Trump. I came away from that conversation far more informed and finally realized how realistic a Trump victory was - until then the idea seemed absolutely ludicrous. I mention the experience because many commentators have since tried to understand what drives people like Lock Her Up guy and most fall short of capturing the core of their idealism. Miriam totally nails it. Her show captured it via humor and honesty as only Miriam could. It's brilliant and everyone should watch it. Unfortunately it's not easily available in the U.S. but I did finally located it via the web and it was wonderful. If you're interested in the subject and appreciate Miriam's quirky blunt personality, it's worth seeking out this short BBC documentary series. I absolutely loved it and love her!
