“A certain rough justice”: Stephen King, Digital Activism, and Donald Trump
View through CrossRef
When controversial billionaire Donald J. Trump declared his improbable candidacy for President of the United States in 2015, it did not take long for best-selling author Stephen King to begin lambasting candidate Trump on Twitter (now X). King quickly utilized Trump’s preferred social media outlet to lob his own rhetorical bombshells right back at Trump. King’s invectives against Trump go beyond serving immediate gratification to those who despise Trump; indeed, King can be viewed as part of an online collective identity, otherwise known as digitally networked action, engaged in activist resistance to the political power wielded by Trump. This essay explores how King’s “certain kind of rough justice” operates within the long American tradition of political protest.
