How Social Networks Shape Political Victories: Lessons from Trump's 2016 Campaign
Ever wonder how small online groups can dramatically shift political outcomes, even taking control of established political parties? Persuading voters isn't just about strong messages—it's about understanding and navigating the complex networks of influence where people discuss, share, and reshape political ideas.
Join Dr. John Bryden to uncover how these digital networks were instrumental in shaping one of the most unexpected political victories in recent history—the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. Drawing on his own research, Dr. Bryden will explore how activist groups on platforms like Twitter managed to reshape the Republican Party, pulling its traditional voter base toward Donald Trump's populist movement.
