You will see patriots around these parts refer to one another as pedes, or variations like ladypede. It's short for centipedes. This video from before the 2016 election is the source of that expression. It still gets reposted because it is awesome:

O-M-G... As you know Asa I'm kinda of newb here and I do know the reddit history but this is something I never seen. Holy shit is that funny as hell! Hey KeepitReal, did you see this? Make sure your not drinking anything because you will not stop laughing!

All of the "Can't Stump the Trump" videos are good. But that's the best. And the origin of the pede thing. The song used is "Centipede" by Knife Party. Which is pretty awesome too. I'll dig up the link on the origin of the Pepe thing too. Because it's such a big part of pede mythology. 🐸

I knew there was a story behind the "pede" thing but I didn't expect it to be so funny. Thanks Asa. I think I know about pepe because I was there on twitter defending our beloved frog but since I wasn't part of the Reddit thing maybe what I was defending wasn't what you reddit peeps were defending. So yes I would be interested in the REAL mythology.

The Pepe thing came from 4chan /pol/ originally. But it was adopted with gusto by t_d. I dropped her a link with a decent rundown of the Pepe/Kek basics. There are some tangents to the Pepe thing too, like the imaginary country of Kekistan. But baby steps. I may drop some more things, like our song of joy "Never Come Down." But it's "Naked and Afraid" night and that's the one TV show I watch religiously. And I don't want to overwhelm your friend drinking from the fire hose of t_d lore.

One more thought before I head to bed... name me another political figure who can inspire so much cool and delightful folk art. Pro tip. You can't. :-DDD

This one from 2016 is still my all time favorite

There are a whole bunch, although that one is the best. Just search "Can't Stump the Trump" on YouTube and you'll find them. I wish that guy was still making them for this election cycle but alas I don't think he is. Maybe he'll get inspired as we get closer.

Btw, when good things happen the community will often celebrate to "Never Come Down." There are many versions of this too, including an election win version and a 10 hour version. This one is the basic one though. It's our trippy Trumpy song of joy. ❤
