I am a graduate psychology student studying extremist literature and my advisor recommended LDA and sent me an article to read describing it but both him and the article are too verbose for me to quite grasp. I then tried a google search but the terminology is throwing me off. I would greatly appreciate it if someone can ELI5!

It’s a mathematical method to analyze the distribution of something. In your case propably words in some text?
You group certain keywords by topic, and then analyze your text by wich keywords appear in wich frequency to find out wixh topics this text contains to wich degree.
For example to find out if a text has antisemitism as a topic, you get a dictionary of words that are related to that and look how these are distributed in your document.
