FAQ About The Influence of Global Meme Culture on Political Movements
Can you give an example of a meme that influenced a political event?
An example of a meme influencing a political event is the use of Pepe the Frog during the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. Originally a harmless cartoon, it was co-opted by various internet users as a symbol of white nationalism and the alt-right. This highlights how memes can be repurposed and associated with political movements and ideologies, often in unintended ways by the original creator.
