The greatest Internet gift from the Inauguration was, without a doubt, the visage of Bernie Sanders, casually sitting with this giant dad-mittens, acting like he was simply listening in on a mandatory PTA meeting, but that, as soon as it was time to leave, he’s gonna be back in the Subaru, bumping whatever the local classical music radio station is playing at the moment.
There’s simply no way to describe the power of this meme, without giving examples. But it is important to note that every parent on the planet should try to figure out a way to channel Berne’s big-mitten energy in 2021. He’s not being disrespectful to Joe and Kamala. He’s just chilling out. Bernie’s Lebowski-esque vibe is exactly the kind of mood we need to settle into this new year.
Here are just a few of the great examples of the Bernie Mitten Meme we saw on Twitter and Instagram.
