Johnson attributed much of the work that he and others have done in support of Trump to being able to tap into voters? emotions through memes, such as the Pepe the Frog cartoon that became an informal mascot for Trump supporters. Johnson said that memes represent a new way for people to discuss national politics, which he said is dominated by a ?white paper? mindset predicated on debating policy merits based on fact rather than emotion. To hear Johnson tell it, the success of this approach is evidenced by the visceral reaction to memes that generated widespread attention and influenced public perception during Trump?s rise to power, despite having little or no basis in fact.

?The election was won by a bunch of people making memes,? Johnson proclaimed. ?We memed the President into existence.?
