  Guess what, to the conservatives you look evil. Let’s just not play this game, it usually doesn’t end well.

      I’m thankful that I can see the enemy for what they are.

      You literally can not. You’re just classing up ableism under the cover of resistance. These people provide more than enough reasons to hate and distrust themselves, you don’t have to pretend it’s physical defects. In fact, presenting this weak argument just makes them less likely for their supporters to be reached.

      I won’t fight a war together with any moron who will fight others based on their looks, so I guess you’re on your own there … I’ll probably fight others based on their actions, so hit me up again once you’ve reached that stage of moral development.

  There are studies linking appearance and personality:

  Conservatives will think the same about any public figure who’s any degree to the left. It’s just a human cognitive bias at play that we’re all susceptible to. If you think someone is a shitty person, that’s going to cause you to overemphasize whatever physical features you find negative about them. The danger of this is that you might in turn start using those negative features as an unreliable heuristic to judge the character of other people before you even get to really know them.

  The different fashion/makeup trends among people across the political spectrum can also come into play similarly.

  There are conventionally unattractive public figures on the left too, but if you know beforehand that they’re on your “team”, you probably won’t even take particular notice to these “defects”. In some mirror universe where MTG was as far left as AOC, you’d probably wouldn’t think she looked “evil”.

      or that people that are always scowling and frowning

      Black women and misogynoir have entered the chat.

      Maybe sometimes people have valid injustices they face in their lives that make them not likely to be all sunshine and roses and smiling all the time.

  This is one of those times when you’re gonna have to acknowledge your own cognitive biases to move on. We all have them. This one is pretty obvious.

  It’s just because you think they’re evil. Otherwise, they’d just look ordinary.

  Physically, they shouldn’t look any different than other people. However, most people can subconsciously detect ill intent from facial expressions, so that’s why you think they look evil.
