So how did US Senator Bernie Sanders turn into a meme exactly? It began with comfort. On the cold, winter day when America welcomed a new leader, Joe Biden, into the White House, the 79-year-old politician was there to bear witness. But he wasn’t going to be cold while he did it. He wore furry, homely mitts in shade of brown that kept his hands warm as he huddled and watched the ceremony. In a sea of political veterans dressed somberly, his grandfatherly look stuck out. And the photo of him on a folding chair went viral. In one of the famous memes, the senator is seated next to the ‘Sex and the City’ cast.
