Why wouldn’t she? The people she’s looking to for support look at them all as if they’re either:complicit in the coverup (stolen election) or the brave patriots fighting for their country. If she smiles, she’s playing the patriot part.

Maybe it’s just cynicism talking, but these people are playing their supporters… not trying to prove right from wrong.

She knew that people like you would see the photo, so she smiled. I think it’s a mistake to treat it as anything but calculated.
