Speaking of the Squad: Smirks, Giggles and Nudges

Certain behaviors are quite interestingly telling about how people are. Communication experts all agree what is not said is the most revealing. It is less about words and more about non-verbals, and the context is important. That being said, at what is supposed to be a somber event, non-verbal cues seem to show otherwise. It is these behaviors that show who the person really is. We can see this in the behavior of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

During the impeachment signing event, Pelosi was seen handing out pens with a smile, as if it was a celebratory event rather than a somber one. Some argue that the pens look like bullets. Between the physical look of the pens and the behavior of the Speaker, non-verbals seem to communicate that she is happy with taking shots at the President and bringing in her squad of DNC members in on the action.

Non-Verbals: Speaks the Truth

Again, behaviors are telling and Pelosi’s gleeful behavior is symptomatic of what we know the DNC to be; disrespectful and narcissistic with no respect for values and hierarchy of leadership. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) demonstrated through her behavior she does not respect the rule of leadership. There seems to be a power struggle as well as a dissension in regards to her position. Those are just observations from many in the general public, but what is fascinating is when an objective body language expert shows this to be the case.

Observing the DNC, we can see they seem to show their overall disposition which is blatant disrespect for the system they are a part of. It is, of course, all because they feel President Donald Trump is bad. We saw this even before Trump entered into office. If actions speak louder than words, it is the micro behaviors, i.e: the smirks, the posture, the eyes, the hands and arms which together show what they really believe. The crazy thing is they do all these things in plain sight! We just need to look at all politicians and be mindful of what they don’t say and how they act rather than what they do say into the microphones. Even if what they say are equally egregious and considerably false.
