Bernie Sanders won’t stop winning — both the highly contested democratic primaries, and the meme game.

Since his video imploring supporters to “once again” send him their financial donations went extremely viral, Sanders has emerged as the frontrunner for the race to the Presidency. Hell, at the Nevada caucus, Sanders got more delegates than his three most closest competitors combined. Over the next few months, he is almost certain to clinch the nomination, and to run against Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

On top of that, Sanders has also remained at the forefront of potential voters’ minds thanks to a new meme, one designed to guess at the man’s music taste.

The whole viral trend started thanks to this photo of the politician listening to something on his phone, wrapped in concentration, along with the prompt for Twitter users to guess what he might be listening to.

The answers came quick and fast:

Before too long, the meme had taken off even further, becoming a mess of conflicting guesses as to the Senator’s musical taste.

Hell, it’s even started to break out of the world of music, and has now expanded into the world of sports.

Truly this is the year of Bernie Sanders.
