I am begging - I need more context. This sounds amazing!

If I'm following correctly...

Pepe was coopted by the far right in 2016 or so for annoying political shitposts. It was sad because pepe is a great meme and the value of my rare and super-rare foil pepe collection plummeted immediately afterwards.

Now there are stories and photos going around of people dressed in big inflatable frog suits protesting against ICE in Portland and I guess it's become the symbol of a movement. Frogs are cool again.

I was never onboard with giving pepe to the Nazis. Pepe transcends.
