Someday, in the distant future, when you think back on the single mayoral term of Lori Lightfoot, what do you think you’ll remember?
is about repetition. In fact, it’s a French word that means “same.” It implies some agreement.
As her term played out and the pandemic ground on, the intensity that looked so charming when edited onto The Bean began to support a creeping reputation for inflexibility, contempt and disdain. Lisa Beasley, a Chicago comedian, took offense at Lightfoot’s simply moonlighting as a funny person. “I wanted her to be a mayor; now she’s trying to do my job?” Beasley asked.
Jennifer Grygiel, a social media professional and professor of communications at Syracuse University who studies online culture, noted how tenuous it can be for a politician who embraces their own memes: “If you don’t want to see someone like Lori Lightfoot elected to office, standard qualities — postures, expressions — get flipped into memes. It wouldn’t take much to veer into stereotypes like the Angry Black Woman.”Indeed, some of the most common memes critical of the mayor are cruel.
