Automatically translated from German

Annika Brockschmidt examines the unexpected alliance between tech entrepreneurs and Christian nationalists within the MAGA coalition. She analyses how religious concepts are used as recruitment tools through social media and how this movement threatens pluralistic democracy. Following the lecture, a discussion with Roland Meyer and Kathrin Trattner takes place, moderated by Elia Blülle. Admission is free.
