...to strike a pose and pull a fact every time your expectations are NOT MET.

It’s a psychological technique called *modeling*. She is an influencer and considers herself a *change agent*, due to her family background.
Her followers are just that and they will unconsciously adapt her expression. The configuration of facial muscles can influence brain chemistry. So, Mika mimes sadness, her followers respond with a similar expression and they become more depressed.
Their depression increases the extent they can be manipulated. Long-term depression can be flipped into anger and the bout of depression predisposes the angry person to disregard consequences in favor of the adrenaline boost from the anger.
Et Voila! Crowds of rioters.
Don’t cheer. This is a conscious effort to keep the prog useful tools acting as their handlers wish. Mika is not sad. Mika is relentless in pursuit of communism for America.
One small way to counter this is to always deal with the progs with confidence and equanimity. Happiness and good cheer will anger them and reinforce the meme of conservatives as reveling in disaster. But calm confidence, like that of Nick Sandman, while also inciting, gives them nothing obvious to use against the conservative. They will try, of course, by increasing incitement, but the optics favor the calm.
It reminds me of the book “Crowds and Power” by Elias Cannetti…
It is very informative and exact. Among other things, he says people behave in a crowd in a way they would NEVER do on their own.
I found that to be the case too. The same goes for e mails. People who would never have the spine to confront you to your face have no compunction about sending you a horrible e mail. I used to have a boss like that... come to think of it, SHE was a screaming Liberal too.
