Pepe

A Donald Trump "pepe", a cartoon which was declared to be a hateful image by the Southern Poverty Law Center on 28 September 2016 due to symbolizing the alt-right

The Alt-right is a political ideology and political movement which is associated with ethnic nationalism, white supremacism, anti-Semitism, right-wing populism, nativism, and the neoreactionary movement. The alt-right opposes multiculturalism and immigration, and the alt-right was exemplified by United States presidential candidate Donald Trump, who ran for President of the United States in 2016 as the US Republican Party nominee. The alt-right was also supported by racists such as David Duke of the Ku Klux Klan and Milo Yiannopoulis, a British blogger. On 28 September 2016, the "pepe" frog meme, which was a popular internet symbol and a symbol of the far-right (due to connotations of anti-Semitism), was declared to be a hateful image by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
