Description: Work. In progress.
The following is a slight re-working of something I read at “ The Word on 103rd ,” a local storytelling showcase at Made Artisan Collective in Beverly. If you think some of this sounds familiar, it is. It’s taking ideas from this post and this one and re-contextualizing them around our recent mayoral election. It seemed to strike a nerve with folks so I’m posting it here.
Maybe you voted for Brandon Johnson. Maybe you didn’t.
Either way, you will at some point in his administration find yourself tempted by cynicism. There are many, many people who will benefit from telling you that Brandon Johnson is some kind of fraud. They will want to create a narrative around his actions or his administration that tells you Brandon Johnson the Mayor is not like Brandon Johnson the campaigner . They will want to paint his inevitable need for compromise as a failure or a lie.
