Here is a thread summarising the entire special issue on Discourse Theory and I cannot recommend enough to check it out!

As the #USElection is upon us, letโs remember how the language of victimhood is systematically used by Trump and the far Right to whip up hate and harm the most vulnerable in society @MediaLSE @LSEnews๐
