The documentary pushes identity politics the whole way through by framing Pepe the Frog's co-optation by the alt-right as white supremacist hate and following Matt Furie's battle to reclaim it from racists and Trump supporters. It constantly lectures about online right-wing extremism turning innocent memes into symbols of racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, and cultural division. The story engine revolves around condemning far-right meme culture as dangerous radicalization tied to the 2016 election.
