## Resource

Communications expert Laura Dawn reveals the shocking scale of the Christian nationalist digital infrastructure that's reshaping American politics and culture. After studying their conferences and strategies for five years, she exposes how groups like PragerU reach billions with a coordinated worldview while progressives practice "unilateral information war disarmament." This eye-opening conversation explores what it takes to build effective counter-narratives in the age of parasocial influence.
