> [@levdrakon](#): > > I’ve known about Pepe the Frog for awhile now. Samantha Bee makes fun of it. > > Had to look up ev psych. Evolutionary psychology? What’s that about? Other people are stupid because evolution? It is a brand of psychology that attempts to describe behavior and cognition as a result of evolution. It sometimes receives criticism for spurious conclusions. I don’t hear any specific relations to racism much, but presumably it is intended to be in relation to things like [the Bell Curve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bell_Curve#Race_and_intelligence). ---

Figured it must be something like that. But don’t Jews and Asians score higher? I’m surprised the alt-right would want to run with that. ---

I consider pajama pants too casual for shopping, but can you find regular pants with a frog print? I think not. That leaves you little choice. You gotta do what you gotta do. You sound chill. I wouldn’t expect white nationalist to be chill. Now I have to wonder what else am I wrong about? Stupid liberal media! I used to drink cherry coke but I’ve gone to cherry 7-up and haven’t been bothered by nationalist of any stripe. I hope that helps. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > Has Pepe the frog become shorthand for “alt right”? That depends on your definition of “alt-right”. If you are referring to white nationalists, white supremacists or neo-nazis, no. The only reason why anyone believes that is true is because two guys with a Twitter account succeeded in tricking Hillary Clinton’s campaign into publicly humiliating itself by [declaring war on a cartoon frog](https://www.hillaryclinton.com/feed/donald-trump-pepe-the-frog-and-white-supremacists-an-explainer/). What Pepe the Frog has become a symbol of is contempt for the lunatic fringe of the Left - the people who are stupid enough to believe that a Mexican frog is the new face of Nazism. ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > I had the same thought “Geez, where’s the mayo?” I thought the alt-right were really more like Mountain Dew types, maybe even Code Red. Diet cherry coke just seem like something that someone high in openness to new experiences and moderate in neuroticism would sip on. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > Has Pepe the frog become shorthand for “alt right”? A year back, my wife won a planter at a tricky-tray. It had some nice flowers and plants in a very large clay pot and it was designed to be left outdoors. In the pot (it came with it) was a small decorative frog laced next to one of the plants. One morning, less than a week after she got it, I was taking some trash bags out to the cans when I saw some painted shards of clay strewn about our back walk that hadn’t been there before. I picked up one and realized that it was part of that small clay frog. In other words, over night someone entered my back yard with the sole purpose of smashing it… evidently because they thought that it was a symbol of … who knows what? Racism? Alt-rightism? Their mental instability…? ---
