CheeringCharm - AO-C was taking a lot of heat on that post (when it was tweeted) for "abusing her power" and "threatening a civilian" and oh Lordy the explanations that needed to be made to the most stupid of them.
I can't say whether I'm a fan or not of the politics and how she'll go about working with others in the party to get things moving forward (since her first day on the job "playing with others" is still weeks away), but I am a fan with how she's engaging with her constituents and the public at large. And it seems she's doing a good job building a coalition with the younger (and female) members of the body during her time at orientation. She's impressing me more and more.
I think the main target of his increasingly loud gaslighting is Individual 1. You can smell his frustration in being out of control of the situation and is trying convince his own psyche that everything is going to be ok because he says so.
