For decades, Republicans have pretended to be the "party of the private sector" by falsely claiming that the economy only adds government jobs under Democratic presidents.

Today's jobs report from ADP disproves that GOP talking point and shows once again that Democrats are the true party of private-sector job creation, which has slowed dramatically under Trump:

La fierté perdue, la honte et la vengeance (Kentucky)

(Lire la totalité de ma présentation ici :
https://outsiderland.com/danahilliot/arlie-russell-hochschild-stolen-pride-loss-shame-and-the-rise-of-the-right/
)

Le denier livre de la grande sociologue américaine Arlie Russell Hochschild, Stolen Pride. Loss, Shame, and the Rise of the Right (The New Press 2024), s’inscrit dans une série d’enquêtes qu’elle mène dans les États Rouges, qui votent massivement pour Trump aux États-Unis (80 % dans la ville qui fait l’objet de son étude). Elle avait auparavant travaillé avec des habitants de Louisiane, en Floride, matériau qui avait donné lieu à la publication, en 2016, du livre Strangers in their own land : Anger and Mourning on the American Right, New York, The New Press, 2016. Depuis, elle a passé beaucoup de temps dans une bourgade de l’Est du Kentucky, dans les Appalaches, un ancien bassin minier qui connut naguère la richesse pour l’exploitation du charbon – on connaît les images des montagnes dont les sommets sont littéralement rasés par les extracteurs. Cette manne s’est effondrée dans les années 90, et avec elle est apparu le chômage de masse, la généralisation de la pauvreté, et surtout, ce que Hochschild appelle la “honte” – c’est aussi le pays des Hillbilly (on traduirait les “bouseux” ou les “ploucs” en français – l’équivalent des Rednecks du Midwest) – moqués pas les populations urbaines libérales. Notez qu’on est au cœur du pays que JD Vance a pris comme emblème dans son fameux bouquin Hillbilly Élégie, livre dans lequel il récupère le sentiment de honte qu’il est censé partager pour le réorienter vers une haine des élites (et un sentiment de vengeance).

Ce que la sociologue essaie de comprendre, c’est pourquoi et comment les habitants de cette région se sont mis à voter massivement Trump en 2016 et 2020. Comme dans ses précédents ouvrages, elle mène sa recherche en interrogeant de nombreuses personnes habitant la petite ville de Pickeville, qui compte quelques milliers d’âmes, en orientant ses questions sous l’angle de ce qu’elle appelle les émotions – considérées comme des faits sociaux. Et particulièrement ici les affects de fierté et de honte (pride and shame), qui circulent et structurent une bonne partie des relations sociales dans un pays qui est fondamentalement constitué par ces émotions (le rêve américain « make America great again », et sa contrepartie, la honte ressentie par ceux qui échouent).

Le coup de génie si l’on peut dire du livre, c’est que les interviews s’organisent autour d’un évènement dramatique de la vie de la cité : l’organisation d’une marche de la droite radicale nationaliste menée par un certain Matthew Heimbach, néonazi de son état, et qui réunit des mouvements aussi sympathiques que, je cite : The Global Crusaders, The Order of the Ku Klux Klan, The League of the South, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, National Socialist Movement (les Nazis américains), The Right Stuff, The Dirty White Boys, The Masons, The Council of Conservative Citizens, White Lives Matter, Identity Evropa, Vanguard America, Traditionalist Workers Party (le groupe de Matthew Heimbach basé en Indiana).

La perspective de cette marche crée un véritable effet de suspense, d’angoisse, de peur. Pourquoi ont-ils choisi cette petite ville oubliée de tous ? Doit-on autoriser cette manifestation ? (et quelles précautions devra-t-on prendre si tel est le cas ?)

Arlie Russell Hochschild pose ces questions à toutes celles et ceux qu’elle rencontre, mais aussi à ce fameux Matthew Heimbach qu’elle interviewe longuement et auquel elle consacre un chapitre entier.

Je voudrais juste citer (et traduire) ici deux passages du livre : les derniers paragraphes des chapitres consacrés respectivement à l’organisateur de cette marche, et aux personnes visées par le récit suprématiste, celles qui sont accusées d’avoir « volé la fierté » des nationalistes blancs américains : une femme afro-américaine, un médecin indien-musulman et un ancien juriste juif.

"What used to be a training airport is now a gulag designed to hold the thousands of people being abducted by masked and heavily armed officers. That includes the moms pulled from their cars, day workers rounded up in Home Depot parking lots, and farm workers seized while picking strawberries. ...

So let’s call this swamp thing what it is: an American concentration camp."

"The legislation Senate Republicans passed on Tuesday is probably going to kill a lot of people.

It sounds stark when you put it that way, but death is a stark thing. It’s also what can be reasonably expected from the GOP legislation, especially the cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act projected to leave nearly 12 million Americans newly uninsured."

"Last week's horrific Supreme Court decisions further undermine our rights and the rule of law, and the attacks on immigrants and refugees continue to get more brutal, while a new attack on birthright citizenship and naturalized citizens is underway."

"Let’s be clear: white Christian nationalism (WCN) is not a fringe ideology — it is a coordinated political strategy. It seeks to replace democratic norms with a theocratic vision of power, using religious rhetoric to justify authoritarian control. Religious liberty scholar Amanda Tyler calls white Christian nationalism 'the single biggest threat to America’s religious freedom.'”

At the end of this historic week — a massive transfer of wealth from poor to rich, healthcare and food support ripped from millions — I'm wondering what bible texts U.S. churches will read and preach about this Sunday?

So many churches, so many texts, so many Christians eager to hear the words of Jesus and other scriptures preached — addressing us in the world in which we live today, of course.

Leviticus 19:33-3?

When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

Maybe James 5:1-6?

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.

Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence.
