There's some naturally good looking conservatives out there. It's just hard to see it once you hear them talk.

In fact, there's something called the "halo effect" in which physically attractive people encounter fewer obstacles in life, and are thus less likely to perceive unfair discrimination in the world.

Also they have more money and grow up with better personal grooming and fashion advice. But even when you control for social economic circumstances, people with objectively more physical attractiveness tend to skew politically to the right.

Meanwhile, us Democratic slobs are out here developing our minds and personalities and discovering the importance of compassion.
