Trump supporters experience a “secular rapture,” says sociologist Arlie Hochschild – Home | The Sunday Edition | CBC Radio
Hochschild ventured into the deep red state of Louisiana, one of the poorest in America, to try to understand why so many people intend to vote against their own best interests. She says Donald Trump offers a kind of salvation, promising to "raise people up" to join him among the 1% of America's wealthiest. Her latest book is called "Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right".
