That's the point.  It doesn't make any sense.   It WAS merely a big inside joke on the Internet, primarily on 4chan (like "Fo time" or "87" is used here), until Hillary accidentally made it into something else.  Here's how.


Pepe used to be merely one meme (among many) for a loose Internet-based, anti-Hillary, anti-establishment, somewhat-pro-Trump movement that communicates primarily via social media.  Picture is worth 1000 words, so a picture with a caption photoshopped onto it (called a "dank meme") is the most efficient way to communicate a concept.  We do that all the time here on Arfcom, and some pictures don't even need a caption to make their point.

Pepe was fun because it could be used in a lot of ways.  One way was to draw Pepe to look like Trump, including the hair and suit so he would be immediately recognizable as Trump.  Some people used it as an anti-Trump symbol, but over time it became more of a pro-Trump symbol -- or at least an anti-Hillary and anti-Establishment symbol.

Hillary's campaign allegedly found some Pepe pictures online where "white nationalists" had put racist and/or pro-Nazi symbols on Pepe.  She wanted to play it like Pepe was the darling child of both the Neo-Nazi movement AND Trump supporters.  In their mind, that would allow Hillary to connect the dots like this "Trump---Trump Supporters---Pepe---Neo-Nazis", hoping that the American public would be stupid enough to only take away this message:  "Trump=Neo-Nazis."

Remember, Hillary is a disciple of Saul Alinsky and his book "Rules for Radicals."  One of those rules is:



So, working under that rule, Hillary picked a target (that loose anti-Hillary, anti-establishment, somewhat-pro-Trump movement), tried to freeze it by labeling that movement "the alt-right" (which was a pre-existing label not necessarily associated with Pepe), and tried to polarize it by associating that movement with Neo-Nazis in her speech.  This was preceded by a behind-the-scenes press campaign that tried personalize it by tying Trump, Pepe the green frog cartoon, and racism together under the label "the alt-right."

In hindsight, that sounds kind of over-the-top and silly.  And it was.  But they decided to roll with it anyway.  Probably because Hillary doesn't have any cards to play, other than "RACISM!"

It backfired.  

The reason it backfired is because, knowingly or not, the movement stole one of Alinsky's own Rules out of Hillary's playbook and turned it against her:



Hillary's whispering campaign of "Pepe is a symbol for racists who support Trump, therefore Trump supports racism" was openly ludicrous  to anyone who previously knew about Pepe.  It was also deeply offensive to those she labeled as "alt-right" and those who consider themselves to be "alt-right."  Plus, it's pretty damn offensive to  Trump supporters.

So, Pepe overnight went from being a silly multipurpose Internet meme into a rally point for the anti-Hillary movement.
The headline here says it all

The net result is that despite her efforts, all Hillary managed to accomplish was to:

(1) turn Pepe into the modern equivalent of a kid pointing and saying "the Emperor has no clothes!" and

(2) show the world that even with all her her political strength, political support, and ruthlessness, she still is unable to stop someone from completely mocking her at her own rally merely by shouting a single word.  She's helpless in the face of ridicule.

That part in bold is huge.  And the dude who shouted Pepe! was letting the world know "if you are anti-Hillary, then know that you are not alone, and you can fight back."  Lots of people need to be reminded of that during this election season.  

And what makes this all so hilariously funny is that she did it to herself!  She has to own it; she cannot pin it on Trump.  And now the whole goddamn Internet is talking about a crudely-drawn cartoon of a fucking green frog instead of Trump's alleged racism.

I think I've probably over-analyzed it.  I'm sure someone will be along to summarize all of the above in one Pepe dank meme.

I scrolled down because I didn't know the kid either. I didn't know of Alex until now, so I looked him up. This is from Wikipedia:



Interesting he identifies as a child or grandchild of a holocost survivor, given George's collusion with the nazis. His wiki page also identifies his religion as Jewish. Again, very interesting

Its that I work with kids all day and the Alt right resemble the same level if intellectual discourse. Say shitfuck enough times folks will ignore them and because of that, they think they won the argument with their intellect. Their intellect that ironically doesn't not expand past saying shitfuck lol

Honestly the typical Alt Right kids, and the middle school kids I deal with are equals. Thier social skills are  apparently on par. The same folks are ironically Bronies that try to explain that they are so more intelligent because they alone get the adult nuances supposedly in the little girls cartoons.

Hey, if you feel there is more sophistication behind what you do, like the bronies and their kids cartoons. More power to you. It makes fun of Hillary so I find mildly funny at times as well.
