Bernie Sanders has once again spawned a cathartic meme that speaks to the thoughts and emotions of many Americans. At the State of the Union [1] on Jan. 30, the senator was at one point shown "clapping" as President Donald Trump [2] spoke about lifting citizens out of poverty. "Clapping" is in quotation marks because it doesn't entirely describe what Sanders was shown doing — begrudgingly smacking a few fingers together might be a more accurate description. As expected, the reaction shot quickly became a viral sensation. Enjoy the meme's inception — and glorious proliferation — ahead.
