Why do Conservatives physically look evil?

Submitted ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Onyxonblack@lemmy.zip⁩ to ⁨[deleted]⁩

I don’t care if people call me stereotyping or other specific terms. This feels so obvious to me. There are people like Trump with his evil tilted eyes or Amy Coney Barrett, Joe manchin, Matt Gaetz, Marge traitor green, Stephen Miller.

Essentially stupidity and/or evil faces. It can even be stereotyped further with obvious checks. Wearing a cross on the neck? A dress? Pickup trucks, American flags, church etc etc…

Why do Conservatives, (who are definitely evil) look so obviously physically evil? Like it warps the flesh! I can’t be crazy, people see this right?I don’t care if people call me stereotyping or other specific terms. This feels so obvious to me.

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

  Bullshit, at this point we are about to go into Civil War against these Nazi traitors. 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”.

  Then what are these half million year honed instincts? The ability to sense danger when around unstable groups, the stranger danger that tells us maybe we shouldn’t sit down next to this particular person on the bus, or that people that are always scowling and frowning, are not going to suddenly smile and laugh with you?

    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.

  Well shit this is what I’m talking about! Perceiving Ill intent is a survival skill we evolved over our long evolution. This is a continuation of that. Ill intent = evil more or less.
