Bear with me for a second. Everyone is supposed to be ecstatic about the inauguration. But on all social media the response of even centrists was to relate to the Bernie meme. The guy is a soc dem at best but let's be real here: the fact that there is so much grass roots support for him when even his milquetoast policies are roundly attacked on the major networks tells us something about how people are feeling when they're being told to celebrate the best day ever. People are in despair. They can't join in on the celebrations because they're in a pandemic. It's insane. And every centrist in the country knows it.

    I'm not sure if they were pissed off. There was that one tweet in the_dunk_tank about how he hated women because of his mittens, but as a chapo commenter accurately noted that didn't actually get any traction and my lib friends seemed to just be loving the Bernie photoshopped into random scenes from pop culture meme. I didn't read it as broadly negative.
