Goujat, escroc, raciste, stupide, le voici aujourd’hui président des États-Unis d’Amérique. Donald TRUMP est l’homme le plus puissant du monde. Une claque aussi énorme qu’inattendue pour le monde médiatico-politique qui est tombé de son armoire. Tous les sondages le donnaient perdant, tous les médias étaient contre lui. Sur 200 médias américains, 194 soutenaient Hillary CLINTON, de même que Wall Street, de même que les artistes, les intellectuels, les experts et toutes les élites du monde dressées contre l’affreux Trump.

Bien peu ont compris que TRUMP, à côté de ses délires ubuesques et ses insanités calculées, avait aussi un programme en phase avec les précarisés, les humiliés, et tous les déclassés par quarante années de néo-libéralisme, tous ceux que les élites perchées sur leur armoire ne peuvent pas voir et ne veulent pas voir. Peu nombreux ont été ceux qui sont allés au-delà de la répulsion pour chercher pourquoi l’Amérique profonde pouvait choisir TRUMP, bien peu hormis Michael MOORE (« Cinq raisons pour lesquelles Trump va gagner ») et Ignacio RAMONET dans un article publié début septembre : LES SEPT PROPOSITIONS DE DONALD TRUMP QUE LES GRANDS MÉDIAS NOUS CACHENT.

Un entretien de #Daniel_MERMET avec #Ignacio_RAMONET.

En avril 2010 : Chris Hedges : Noam Chomsky Has ‘Never Seen Anything Like This’
▻http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/noam_chomsky_has_never_seen_anything_like_this_20100419/P700

“It is very similar to late Weimar Germany,” Chomsky told me when I called him at his office in Cambridge, Mass. “The parallels are striking. There was also tremendous disillusionment with the parliamentary system. The most striking fact about Weimar was not that the Nazis managed to destroy the Social Democrats and the Communists but that the traditional parties, the Conservative and Liberal parties, were hated and disappeared. It left a vacuum which the Nazis very cleverly and intelligently managed to take over.”

“The United States is extremely lucky that no honest, charismatic figure has arisen,” Chomsky went on. “Every charismatic figure is such an obvious crook that he destroys himself, like McCarthy or Nixon or the evangelist preachers. If somebody comes along who is charismatic and honest this country is in real trouble because of the frustration, disillusionment, the justified anger and the absence of any coherent response. What are people supposed to think if someone says ‘I have got an answer, we have an enemy’? There it was the Jews. Here it will be the illegal immigrants and the blacks. We will be told that white males are a persecuted minority. We will be told we have to defend ourselves and the honor of the nation. Military force will be exalted. People will be beaten up. This could become an overwhelming force. And if it happens it will be more dangerous than Germany. The United States is the world power. Germany was powerful but had more powerful antagonists. I don’t think all this is very far away. If the polls are accurate it is not the Republicans but the right-wing Republicans, the crazed Republicans, who will sweep the next election.”

“I have never seen anything like this in my lifetime,” Chomsky added. “I am old enough to remember the 1930s. My whole family was unemployed. There were far more desperate conditions than today. But it was hopeful. People had hope. The CIO was organizing. No one wants to say it anymore but the Communist Party was the spearhead for labor and civil rights organizing. Even things like giving my unemployed seamstress aunt a week in the country. It was a life. There is nothing like that now. The mood of the country is frightening. The level of anger, frustration and hatred of institutions is not organized in a constructive way. It is going off into self-destructive fantasies.”

“I listen to talk radio,” Chomsky said. “I don’t want to hear Rush Limbaugh. I want to hear the people calling in. They are like [suicide pilot] Joe Stack. What is happening to me? I have done all the right things. I am a God-fearing Christian. I work hard for my family. I have a gun. I believe in the values of the country and my life is collapsing.”

Pouvons-nous parler en toute franchise ? En premier lieu, je dois avouer que j’aime bien Hillary Clinton. Je crois qu’elle est la cible de critiques non méritées. Mais après son vote en faveur de la guerre en Irak, j’ai promis de ne plus jamais voter pour elle. Je suis contraint de briser cette promesse aujourd’hui pour éviter qu’un proto-fasciste ne devienne notre commandant en chef. Je crois malheureusement qu’Hillary Clinton va nous entraîner dans d’autres aventures militaires, car elle est un « faucon » perché à droite d’Obama. Mais peut-on confier le bouton de nos bombes nucléaires à Trump le psychopathe ? Poser la question, c’est y répondre.

Cela dit, notre plus grand problème n’est pas Trump mais bien Hillary. Elle est très impopulaire. Près de 70 % des électeurs la considèrent comme malhonnête ou peu fiable. Elle représente la vieille manière de faire de la politique, c’est-à-dire l’art de raconter n’importe quoi pour se faire élire, sans égard à quelque principe que ce soit. Elle a lutté contre le mariage gay à une certaine époque, pour maintenant célébrer elle-même de tels mariages.

Glenn Greenwald on Donald Trump, the DNC hack, and a new McCarthyism. [and Brexit]

I just want to submit to you that the mistake the U.K. media and U.K. elites made with Brexit is the exact same one that the U.S. media and U.S. elites are making about Trump. U.K. elites were uniform, uniform, in their contempt for the Brexit case, other than the right-wing Murdochian tabloids. They all sat on Twitter all day long, from the left to the right, and all reinforced each other about how smart and how sophisticated they were in scorning and [being snide] about UKIP and Boris Johnson and all of the Brexit leaders, and they were convinced that they had made their case. Everyone they were talking to—which is themselves—agreed with them. It was constant reinforcement, and anyone who raised even a peep of dissent or questioned the claims they were making was instantly castigated as somebody who was endangering the future of the U.K. because they were endorsing—or at least impeding—the effort to stop Brexit. This is what’s happening now.

(...) The reason why Brexit resonated and Trump resonated isn’t that people are too stupid to understand the arguments. The reason they resonated is that people have been so fucked by the prevailing order in such deep and fundamental and enduring ways that they can’t imagine that anything is worse than preservation of the status quo. You have this huge portion of the populace in both the U.K. and the US that is so angry and so helpless that they view exploding things without any idea of what the resulting debris is going to be to be preferable to having things continue, and the people they view as having done this to them to continue in power. That is a really serious and dangerous and not completely invalid perception that a lot of people who spend their days scorning Trump and his supporters or Brexit played a great deal in creating.

(...) if you are someone who wants to stop Trump or Brexit, your goal should be to communicate effectively with the people who believe it is in their interest to support Trump or Brexit. I think in general there is no effort on the part of media elites to communicate with those people and do anything other than tell them that they are primitive, racist, and stupid.
