Introduction: Making a Case for On-the-Ground Research with the Right
Socialism sucks: Campus conservatives, digital media, and the rebranding of Christian nationalism
In this blended ethnography, combining fieldwork with campus conservative organizations/figures and digital ethnography of their social media, we explore how capitalism, Christianity, and conservatism are brought together and branded for youth.
