The Onion - "Trump Voter Feels Betrayed By President After Reading 800 Pages Of Queer Feminist Theory"

This Onion video (joke/satirical news) plays on the the unlikeliness of this man's change of heart and his readiness to adopt and use the language of queer-theory.  It reminded me of Lisa Duggan, who argues that the language of queer theory is inaccessible to the public. I think that the Onion agrees with Duggan, and made this video to highlight this reality.

    I thought this video was particularly insightful because of its satirical and humorous approach, especially because I have encountered Judith Butler in every single gender/sexuality related course I have taken so far. I immediately tagged Kyla and Becca from our class!
