Bernie Memes Are Everywhere - Even In Kerala!

Bernie Sanders is unique in American politics. He is extremely popular, is known for forthright views and has been in the fray for democratic candidate for POTUS more than once. However he is always seen as too ‘far Left’ so was never an actual candidate. Bernie caught everyone’s attention at the inauguration of Joe Binden and Kamala Harris sitting by himself wearing some eye catching mittens. Bernie and the mittens have become madly viral since then:

The image that started it all

Bernie was seen sitting wearing a very visible pair of mittens. For some reason this image caught the fancy of netizens and Bernie and #BernieMemes found their way literally everywhere.
