The 'Capitol Meemaw' meme features an elderly woman photographed during the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021. The image gained massive traction online due to the perceived absurdity of a grandmotherly figure appearing calm and out of place amidst a chaotic political riot. It is frequently used to represent individuals who are blissfully unaware of the gravity of a situation, or ironically to depict someone who looks harmless but is actually in the middle of a high-stakes event. The meme has become a staple for social commentary on situational awareness and the bizarre nature of modern political photography.
