1. Fanatical followers of politician Bernie Sanders. They believe that once elected as president Sanders will usher in a socialist utopia through unknown means, likely a magic wand.
2. Those who turn every conversation and social media
post towards how wonderful Sanders is as well as how horrible all who oppose him are. They are unable to talk about anything else unless absolutely necessary, and feel the need to talk about Sanders every moment of every day.
3. Those who refuse to acknowledge any negative in Sanders while failing to acknowledge any positive in his opponents. For example, Sanders is completely
perfect while
Hillary Clinton is Satan incarnate.
4. Those unable to accept facts unless they support Sanders. Anything in support of Sanders is the undoubted
truth. Anything that is against or in doubt of Sanders is a
lie told by corporate fascists to destroy
the one person trying to save the world.
5. Those with no
real understanding of the political process but believe they do. Their ideas are based more in fairy tale ideology than practicality. If asked about the source of their political information it will likely come from Tumblr or Twitter.
6. Those who believe that the rich and successful only got their through cheating and illegal means. They believe that the successful should have everything taken from them and given to them despite not doing anything to earn it.
A play on Sanders' slogan "Feel the Bern" and that most of his followers are burnouts.
My bernout coworker believes that the one and only reason
Hillary Clinton is beating Bernie Sanders is that she somehow bought each and every
single individual who voted for her and refuses to believe that anyone could possibly consider that she is
better qualified than he is.
