Cynthia Miller-Idris, director of the Polarization and Extremism Research Innovation Lab (PERIL) at American University, appeared on PBS to discuss the predictability of political assassinations in the current rhetorical climate. PERIL's research covers topics such as "meme coins and misogyny" and "manosphere content." The lab is funded by organizations like USAID, and its presence on major networks is viewed as part of a coordinated messaging effort.
