Good point - the graph being US only means it misses offshoring manufacturing jobs to places like China. We can't assume that the loss of manufacturing jobs was solely caused by automation

Why call it 'loss', if it was outsourced? UnAmericans are also human.

Where else would you apply this reasoning? If I lose my phone it doesn't stop being a phone...

Yes, but it's probably useless for anyone else (because of locking).
And if you break your phone, it stops being a (useful) phone.

Why do you think the word "loss" implies they think non-Americans aren't human?

Pretty sure the point was that the jobs are just being moved around, not "lost".
