Frog Costumes Turn Protests into Street Parties
Update: 2025-12-28
Description
Protests against the Trump administration are transforming into joyful street parties, with demonstrators donning frog suits and other whimsical costumes. The frog, inspired by Pepe, a cartoon character, has become a symbol of resistance, drawing from its original goofy persona and evolving into a powerful tool for political expression. The frogs journey from a social media meme to a protest icon showcases the power of tactical frivolity, a strategy that uses humor and absurdity to challenge authority and shift public perception. The frogs nationwide presence, from San Diego to Boston, Tokyo, and London, demonstrates its ability to unite protesters and deflate tension, reclaiming its original feel-good mantra for the left.
