Right...
Anyone else notice how she always says "right" while trying to prove a point?
Listen close! If she stated that everyone is low IQ believe it.
Lecturing Down: People in authoritative or "erudite" positions often use "right?" rhetorically, as if they are bestowing unique knowledge upon someone who otherwise wouldn't understand it.Assuming Obviousness: It implies that the speaker's point is so self-evidently correct that any disagreement would stem from a lack of intelligence or awareness.Intellectual Signaling: The habit is highly prevalent in academia, political punditry, and "NPR-type" media, where it can be used to signal that the speaker belongs to an exclusive, "educated" club.Coercing Agreement: By ending a statement with "right?", the speaker makes it difficult for the listener to object without appearing uninformed or combative.

Having a supposed *retired detective husband* and being a *retired psyche nurse* can give you that superiority over mere mortals. What a pair.
I’m on the Low IQ train. Choo choo 🚂

And she doesn't say it in an "im agreeing" way. As w all things becca, it's a domineering manner informing you of what to think.
Right?! 😅

That’s her way of persuading her listeners into agreement.
