Nos leaders d’opinion ont une théorie pour expliquer les comportements de certains de nos concitoyens, qui exaltent la sagesse des foules ― et, cela va de soi, sont racistes, sexistes et homophobes. Ces égarés, assurent-ils, agissent sous l’emprise d’une doctrine rétrograde, le « populisme » ; et leurs adeptes sont des bourrins incultes qui ont une dent contre leurs congénères instruits. Le populisme est en guerre contre la pensée moderne et le progrès. Il est complice de la diffusion du mal, pour ne pas dire qu’il est le mal lui-même.La façon dont nos progressistes autoproclamés mésusent et abusent désormais du mot « populisme » prouve qu’ils se sont résolument tournés contre leur héritage démocratique. La démocratie pose un problème, expliquent-ils, parce qu’elle permet au peuple de faire fi de l’autorité des experts.Le paysage politique est cul par-dessus tête, mais le combat reste le même : le vrai sujet, ce sont les privilèges des élites, et le populisme est peut-être le remède permettant de nous en délivrer.

En étudiant les conversations ordinaires des Américains, dans une démarche pragmatiste, Nina Eliasoph met au jour une puissante culture d'évitement du politique, à l'oeuvre dans la vie quotidienne. Pendant deux ans et demi, elle a mené une enquête ethnographique dans trois types d'associations : des groupes de bénévoles, des clubs de loisirs et des collectifs d'activistes, implantées dans des villes de banlieue de la côte Ouest. Elle a écouté les conversations à l'intérieur des groupes et dans les interactions avec les pouvoirs publics, les travailleurs sociaux, les médias et les grandes entreprises. Dans les deux cas, elle a prêté l'oreille aux discours publics, mais aussi aux propos murmurés en coulisse. Ce faisant, elle prend à revers les analyses dominantes sur l'espace public et les travaux quantitatifs sur la participation politique. Elle montre des citoyens soucieux du sort du monde, ni indifférents ni satisfaits, mais qui n'expriment ces préoccupations que dans les conversations les plus privées. Plus l'arène devient, publique, moins le souci du bien commun paraît légitime et plus les citoyens semblent apathiques ou préoccupés uniquement de leur intérêt personnel. Un véritable " cycle d'évaporation du politique " apparaît alors, dont Nina Eliasoph décrit les différents rouages. L'évitement de la politique est devenu depuis sa parution un classique de la sociologie américaine contemporaine.

The Twitter Presidency explores the rhetorical style of President Donald J. Trump, attending to both his general manner of speaking as well as to his preferred modality. Trump's manner, the authors argue, reflects an aesthetics of white rage, and it is rooted in authoritarianism, narcissism, and demagoguery. His preferred modality of speaking, namely through Twitter, effectively channels and transmits the affective dimensions of white rage by taking advantage of the platform's defining characteristics, which include simplicity, impulsivity, and incivility. There is, then, a structural homology between Trump's general communication practices and the specific platform (Twitter) he uses to communicate with his base. This commonality between communication practices and communication platform (manner and modality) struck a powerful emotive chord with his followers, who feel aggrieved at the decentering of white masculinity. In addition to charting the defining characteristics of Trump's discourse, The Twitter Presidency exposes how Trump's rhetorical style threatens democratic norms, principles, and institutions.

But how should we define this new conservatism? What is new about it? In this volume, some of today's top political scholars take on the charge of explaining, defining, and confronting the new conservatism of the last twenty-five years. The authors examine the ideas, policies and roots of this ideological movement showing that contemporary neoconservatism has been able to blend many of the aspects

"This book identifies the core motivations of Donald Trump's strongest supporters. Previous research suggests that Trump's followers are authoritarians or even fascists-individuals who are comfortable only when a powerful person is controlling their lives and providing direction and certainty in the process. This book advances and empirically supports the thesis that what Trump's base craves is not authority but rather a specific form of security. The disposition of Trump's strongest supporters leads them to strive for security in the face of threats from members of out groups and they define out-groups broadly to include welfare cheats, unpatriotic athletes, norm violators, non-English speakers, people who subscribe to a non-majority religion, people not of the majority racial group, people who do not follow prevalent national customs, and certainly people from other countries. Fervent Trump supporters' primary purpose in life is to protect themselves, their families, and their larger cultural group from these outsider threats. A similar motivation is present in subpopulations around the world as can be seen in the Brexit vote in the U.K as well as the success of nativist candidates around the globe. By detailing these desires, this book makes it possible to understand a political movement that many people find baffling and frustrating, which in turn could make it easier for Trump's base and those who stridently oppose Trump to communicate with each other"--
