10 years of listening to the right wing - Arlie Hochschild on Economic Update

"I've been talking to people on the right since 2011...  I talked to a man who said, 'I voted for Donald trump. He said he would bring coal jobs back. I knew he was lying but I felt he saw me.'... [Post January 6th] they feel (the people I'm talking to now) in a box. On the one hand they feel criminalized by the justice department and reviled by the left, and they feel abandoned by the right."
Professor and Author Arlie Hochschild.

Arlie Hochschild is the author of nine books including, most recently, "Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right", a New York Times best seller and finalist for the National Book Award. A documentary film is underway in which respondents are being interviewed about the events of January 6th in Washington D. C.
