Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod?

No the real answer is that literally nearly every possible configuration of your hands and movement is offensive and rude to some culture, person or religion.

It’s fucking damn near impossible to find ANY that are actually safe.

This has been a problem of public speaking for longer then America has been a country, and longer then the ivy leagues have been a thing.

Public speaking hand gestures go back literally hundreds of years.
