The country turned a page as it inaugurated a new president. But, instead of the president, it was someone else who went viral. Indeed, Senator Bernie Sanders is again the subject of memes.
BERNIE SANDERS APPEARS IN EDITED âVIDEO GAME CAMEOSâ
For Bernie Sanders, sitting still can make him go viral. For example, we have his most recent picture during inauguration day. In the picture, Sanders wears winter clothing, sitting on a folding chair. He is tucked tightly against the cold weather.
His compact position was easy for people to edit into different situations. Naturally, gamers just had to take his picture and put him in games' screenshots. Among them, Twitter users made a lot, as you can see below:

Redditors also made their fair share of memes. As a result, you'll find pictures of Bernie Sanders memes littered in different subreddits. For instance, you can find pictures of him in Skyrim, Undertale, and even in Smash.
If you want to join in on the fun, Redditor u/larchitectpod made a transparent Bernie Sanders picture for you to use.
After going viral, Sanders was invited to the Late Night with Seth Meyers. About the viral pictures, Sanders said, âI was just sitting there, trying to keep warm, trying to pay attention to what was going on.â In conclusion, this shows us that sometimes, you just get attention when you least expect it.
MOST IMPACTFUL MEME OF 2020
This isn't the first time a Bernie Sanders meme went viral. For example, he starred in a meme where he asks for support during the previous elections. Many people used the meme to ask for many different things, often leading to funny interactions on the Internet.
