All this old man from Vermont had to was roll up to the inauguration in his plain coat — the same coat he wore in another year-old meme — and sit in a chair with his extra thick mittens, and the crowd goes wild. We simply cannot get enough of editing Bernie into photos, movie scenes, other memes.
Naturally, Pittsburghers jumped on the trend and edited Bernie into everything from a parking spot to Flashdance. These are some of Pittsburgh City Paper's favorites:
This is a classic that has been recreated several times. Pittsburgh is obsessed with its parking chairs, and Bernie's spindly chair and patient seating is perfect for the setting.Yinz, we’ve truly never seen such a fashionable use of the parking chair. Thank you @BernieSanders for reserving that spot. pic.twitter.com/fRrWjilpS3

Most of Pittsburgh was shocked when a bus fell into a sinkhole in Downtown, but Bernie is just casually waiting for the next bus to come. Also, Bernie taking a break from rides and Potato Patch Fries while resting next to Kennywood's Cowboy Joe.
Can’t take credit for this one, but it did have my howling with laughter. pic.twitter.com/X0LnPP3BZc

Oh you thought Century III mall was closed? Bernie has been waiting for his wife to finish shopping for 10 years.
