Since Trump and the alt-right takeover of the GOP xenophobia is now based on the claim that immigrants are trying to âreplaceâ us. Thereâs no longer even a claim that they plan to do something; their presence itself is the offense. Immigrants are now intrinsically bad because of who they are.

Case in point regarding legitimation of transgression: did the NYT publish an editorial calling on Trump to resign after his felony convictions? I rest my case

We argue in the book that Trump specifically valorized transgression against democratic norms and those effects will be felt for years. He has essentially managed to mainstream Gamergate values from a relatively niche subculture

I donât have sources in the Kremlin, but there is one key thing that the author of the article got wrong: Putin saw the collapse of the Soviet Union as âthe biggest geopolitical catastropheâ not the collapse of the Eastern bloc. There is a difference and it somewhat undermines the main argument

Same. Also with the full scale invasion of Ukraine my Twitter feed was ahead of the NYT breaking news by at least several hours during the first year. Then Elon happened of course.

Exactly. A significant subset of Trump voters voted for him specifically because he valorizes transgression against the democratic norms.

Uk soon to kill right to protest. My book argues Russia is a vanguard - not only in terms of state repressive capacity (copied in part by UK), but in terms of resistance too. In the future, W Europeans are going to have to learn from Easterners about how to contest repression without legal protest.

But now itâs also that students have fragile attention spans, making it difficult for them to sit for long periods of time without audio visual stimulation (which readings donât provide). And students have smaller vocabularies, making it harder to get through texts without having to look up words.

Putin has just approved a new head of the Supreme Court in Russia, his former classmate. She will rubber-stamp any decisions he needs, just like the 6-3 majority in the US Supreme Court will do whatever Trump needs with just a little more pretense for âindependent judiciaryâ.

Advice for scholars: next time you lecture on Kant and revolutions at âDowningâ (Darwin) College Cambridge, make sure your hair is neatly tied and that youâre not blonde. Or else your research impact will be on the Spectator libido section.

The fact that the man behind Arizona's 1864 abortion ban was a child rapist is literally the least surprising part of the whole story. Like rape, abortion bans are integral to the patriarchal project of controlling women. Not "saving babies." Controlling women.

Great review! There is one more parallel between the US and Russia. In both countries, the gov tried to connect queerness with literal treason (Lavender scare & 1933 Soviet law), specifically targeting gay men. Itâs the performance of âmasculinityâ they all worry about

There is quite a bit of slasher romance fan-fiction about Trump and Putin (not always the homophobic kind). When I was doing research for my chapter on Russian-American relations, I had to read quite a bit! Happy Valentine's Day I guess ;)
