    Lol. Lmao even.

    So, you’re using body language to read this? Holy fuck.

    It is entirely possibly, nay, fucking probable that she assumed he wanted to speak to her. She is, rather unsurprisingly, a fairly nice person, and quite personable. I have been to a couple of her events because she’s my congressperson. Fuck off with this conspiracy horseshit.

    But also let’s talk about this: She shows no concern about the substance sprayed on her?

    Have you ever been assaulted? Because fuck you. Everyone expects victims to be perfect. “Why didn’t you fight back or run away or call for help or blah blah blah?” Victim-blaming mentality is what that is. “Why didn’t you do X?” is the number one statement for people that have never been in a bad situation say to people who have. It is, quite honestly, disgusting.

    Read up on trauma responses and let me know when you realize you’re wrong.

      LMAO, she stepped to him like a fucking BOSS. Even before security grabbed him, she was ready to take that shit head out.

      You obviously have a horse in the race which explains your emotional investment. Reading body language is a perfectly normal thing humans do. Her body language looked unnatural enough that I found myself questioning it.

      “Conspiracy horseshit”, ok guy. Politicians are trained to duck and cover and let security handle incidents. Maybe her first instinct was off, but it’s still off.

        It is literally a conspiracy theory, and a horseshit one. Anybody with security is generally told to duck and cover, but there is no fucking politician class that drills it into you. Sometimes you respond to a traumatic event in a weird way. Sometimes you don’t even realize it’s traumatic until afterward! Every psychologist will tell you this! This was taught in HIGH SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY 20 FUCKING YEARS AGO, it isn’t new.

        When someone is standing during a gunfight, is it their fault if they get shot? No, goddamn it. That’s a dumbass thought that dumbasses have when their dumbassery makes them a dumb asshole. That is literally victim blaming. You are victim blaming. Fuck off or find real fucking evidence because your body language expertise is also horseshit debunk psychology. If you can find real evidence, then it’s not you just thinking some asinine theory, and you won’t look insane.

          You’re telling me to mistrust a gut instinct that something feels off. I won’t do that. I didn’t escalate, I was being honest. It still feels off looking at it again, I won’t deny my feelings because it’s a “conspiracy theory” acknowledging how it made me feel.

          It’s not insane to think politicians go to extremes and stage situations. Especially when it’s something that pushes towards ending a fascist regime.

          People come up with harebrained schemes all the time. Anyone who denies the possibility and invalidates what others feel, has their own agenda. I never said it was staged, just that it felt off. Now go pester someone else with your over the top responses.

            Yes. Your gut is very likely wrong. Especially because you got upset that I told you to find real evidence because your evidence is “She didn’t act how I thought she would.” For an assault. When you are assaulted, you do not always act rationally. You can freeze up. You can fall to the ground. You can fight back. You can laugh! That does not mean you weren’t assaulted no matter how you respond. That’s why there is a lot of research on trauma responses.

            You can look up the arrest record and follow the suspect through the criminal system. Look up they’re social media and find where they’re a Magahead for the past 3+ years. Let me know when you find no evidence of your theory and pretend the lack of evidence is evidence of a cover up, that’s usually the next step in the conspiracy theory rathole.

            Like, you should seriously consider talking to a psychologist because these gut feelings could be a warning sign for deeper issues.

                Ignoring the crux of every argument due to “personal attacks” because I told you to talk to a trained unbiased third party. Classic. You are not a serious person.
