The weird confluence of Donald Trump, Egyptology, Numerology, and Korean gaming culture. This is too weird to not post. Say what you will about the alt-right and 2016, this is a brilliant exposition on a curious eddy in the current of the national mood. Where it goes is nearly incredible.
What a bullshit article. The author clearly has no idea what the hell they're talking about.<p>Pepe the frog belongs to the cancer that is /pol/ no more so than pictures with captions using Impact font superimposed over them. The only reason pepe is associated with /pol/ and Trump is because they both originated on 4chan as memes. The Trump versions of pepe comics are only a minority fraction of the many different permutations of the meme, ranging from "smug pepe" to "rare pepes."
TLDR: Internet shit bags make something out of nothing to defend/explain/support their love and devotion for an orange hitler.<p>Next up: Americans write September 11 as 9/11 so the twin towers was an inside job by the police and fire department.<p>Give me a fucking break.
