It’s not some make-work think tank…it’s a deeply influential policy control apparatus that makes most media guilty of gross malpractice for not keeping tabs on. It’s an umbrella that has groups across the full demographic spectrum.
Conservative parties across the globe are sharing information about what propaganda/outright lies works and what doesn’t. Liberal and progressive parties have no such apparatus that keeps them in messaging lockstep.

We already know there’s an online eco system that floats all of the talking points…the IDU consolidates the information and disseminates what tests well to the various groups, like the IDWU or IDYU (women, youth) who then translate it into a language their demographic will respond to and take out ads, meet with podcasters, etc
