Donald Trump, the Resistance, and the Queering of Democracy.
"He's the grizzly bear in the room," said Republican Newt Gingrich, describing then-candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election campaign. He's not normal."

He's not normal." Taking as a starting point David Halperin's claim that "queer is by definition whatever is at odds with the normal, the legitimate, the dominant," this article explores what happens when Donald Trump meets antinormative queer theory, on the one hand, and the feminist resistance, on the other.

This article is a call to reread queer historically and politically, create theory that is grounded in activist work, and interpret what queer means by virtue of what activists do when they use this term. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
