At Joe Biden’s inauguration after defeating Donald Trump in the presidential election, Bernie Sanders, the firebrand from Vermont, was spotted in attendance. What made Bernie stand out was his choice of clothing for the formal occasion.

But the image of the seated Senator quickly went viral, right on the heels of his “I am once again asking” meme.

Since then, they have turned into a Rorschach test for where people stand on the Black Lives Matter movement and gun rights in America.
