at the core of our reactions to “ terms of repulsion ” ( 1953 , 223 ). Garrosh grounds his own terms of repulsion in his intuiting “ laws of nature ” rather than in rational arguments based on philosophical or empirical analysis just as Trump , asserting his superiority over news media and experts , claimed in a March 2017 interview with Time that “ I ’ m a very instinctual person , but my instinct turns out to be right .” It is also interesting that this disgust is evoked over the issue of unconventional forms of reproduction which are castigated as “ unnatural ”; in this Garrosh ’ s reactions seem to mirror those of Trump and many conservative Republicans to members of the LBGTQ community , as seen in debates over gay marriage and transgender bathroom use .
The rhetorical environment of the conflict between Garrosh and Sylvanas is stylistically similar to that found in the 2016 U . S . presidential campaigns , with Clinton offering detailed policy suggestions and Trump and his supporters reacting with emotionally laden insults and calls for violence , as when Trump at a rally at North Carolina University in Wilmington suggested that if Clinton won the election , “... nothing you can do , folks , ... Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is , I don ’ t know ” ( Corasaniti and Habermanaug , 2016 ). As the Second Amendment to the U . S . Constitution is the one enshrining the people ’ s right to bear arms and often mentioned by the pro-gun lobby , this appears a thinly veiled suggestion that his followers should assassinate her if she were to be elected . Secondly , just as Garrosh insults Sylvanas and tries to portray her as similar to the Lich King ( someone Sylvanas has been stalwartly opposing her entire life and undeath ), so Trump attempted to rhetorically assimilate Clinton to an entrenched Washington power elite or “ swamp ”, bankers , corporate interests and even ISIS . Thirdly , Garrosh ’ s menacing body language during the cut scene forms a tableau similar to the one in which Trump “ lurked ” behind Clinton during the second presidential debate , a phenomenon widely analyzed in the media coverage of the debate ( see , e . g ., Kaufman 2016 ). Finally , Garrosh ’ s use of the term “ bitch ” to denigrate Sylvanas stands in obvious parallel to Donald Trump ’ s reference to Clinton as “ such a nasty woman ” ( Berenson 2016 ).
Other Horde leaders display a similar distrust of Sylvanas . Lor ’ themar Theron , who was Sylvanas ’ second-in-command in the defense of Silvermoon when Sylvanas was still alive rather than undead , interacts with the undead Sylvanas at the beginning of the Galakras encounter in the Siege of Orgrimmar raid instance of the 2012 Mists of Pandaria expansion of WoW . Many of Lor ’ themar ’ s forces have fallen in the siege , and Sylvanas makes a practical offer to revive them as undead in the following dialogue :
