Inauguration

Happy Friday, y'all. You've officially made it through another week in hell on planet Earth! Unfortunately for many of us, it's kind of difficult to celebrate the end of a grueling workweek thanks to Covid-19. The only respite we have (besides, like, Netflix and going outdoors for "walks") comes in the form of memes. And we're bringing a whole lot of 'em straight to you.

Yesterday we covered the explosion of memes on Twitter inspired by images of Bernie Sanders sitting down at the inauguration. Since then, the internet has not stopped producing Bernie memes and so we thought it would be appropriate to do a follow-up collection of all the best memes that have popped up in the last 24 hours. We've got Bernie looking cold and stern in famous paintings, hollywood movies, Game of Thrones, Mike Pence's head, sitting next to Keanu Reeves, in a Where's Waldo scene, chillin' in the rain with Totoro, having a staring contest with Marina Abramović—by the end of the week, Bernie might have appeared in every iconic moment in history. Once again, we are thanking Bernie for the memes.

As you may have heard, today the 46th President of the United States was sworn into office. Sure, Joe Biden won the presidency, but Bernie Sanders won the internet today when he showed up in his iconic Burton winter jacket, a standard blue surgical mask, and huge woolen mittens made from recycled materials. In a sea of predictable black trench coats, Bernie really made a statement when he arrived clutching that manila envelop like he was stopping by the inauguration on his way to the post office. 

Unsurprisingly and with impressive haste, Twitter meme'd the hell out of Bernie's look every step of the way. We've collected some of the funniest Twitter memes and reactions to Bernie's whole inauguration vibe. Thanks for all the memes, Bernie.
