You Can Get The Bernie Inauguration Meme As Merch Now
Take sitting Bernie with you wherever you go.
Humble style king Bernie Sanders has accidentally found himself meme'd again. After Sanders was photographed sitting alone bundled in his go-to Burton jacket and hand-knitted mittens at Wednesday's presidential inauguration, the internet rejoiced with memes aplenty, and now, courtesy of Pizza Slime, some merch.
The pop culture brand quickly got to work on a black T-shirt with the photo of Sanders sitting in front of a Trasher-inspired Bernie logo, retailing for a cool $33.
"BERNIE SANDERS IS MY MOOD WHEN I FINALLY HAVE TO GO BACK TO SEEING PEOPLE IRL INSTEAD OF ON ZOOM," the shirt's description reads.
Sanders may not have walked into the Capitol on Wednesday thinking he would break the internet, but alas, the online shopping searches don't lie. Lyst reported that searches for mittens increased by 311% with upcycled mittens specifically spiked spiked by 225%. Sanders' own mittens were made by Jen Ellis, a teacher out of Essex Junction, Vt., who gave them to the senator two years ago. Then there was his trusted Burton coat, which resulted in a brief crash of the brand's website. He didn't choose the hypebeast life, the hypebeast life chose him.
