How do people's political views affect how they look? I think they do, do you?

Answer 1

Sometimes you can tell by looking at a person. I'm not saying is always right but usually you can sense who is a Democrat or Republican.

Answer 2

All smartass answers aside, there are two answers to that:

1) Political views affect how people are perceiveed by others;

2) Sometimes people adopt a certain look in order to feel more a part of their political group, or to show others in the group they are "one of them."

So - yes, political views can affect how people look. Not always, and it's not always intentional, but it does occur.

Answer 3

No. Great question that I had to think really hard about. Let's contain your question to people who actually vote.

I've observed many Republican and Democrat campaign events in the South. Without a doubt black voters are the best dressed. White Democrats and Republicans are mainly casual.

Answer 4

i am not so sure about that. first opinions are often wrong. i mean, we are only talking 50/50 here, right? i mean, there are minority republicans. when i talk to older retired people, who all dress pretty much the same and act the same, i am surprised by the number of bush haters. maybe they just dislike him and not the conservative side.

so i say no, they do not. even the bible puts more emphasis on actions. good question, tom.

Answer 5

To some extend from the way they talk, dress and behave. more than the way they look, what they do for living can be a better indicator. for example if they earn more money they'll prefer a more conservative government so they can keep most of it but if they depend on state support they'll go towards more liberal government so they can keep receiving support.

Answer 6

To a point. A person who thinks conservatively, will tend to dress a little more conservatively, and vice versa. You can't tell a person's beliefs by how they look or dress, but I think personalities do come out in appearance at times.

Answer 7

If they are the kind of person who doesn't believe in the phrase, "It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt" are generally liberals.

Answer 8

I don't see much difference in the politicians running - other than Obama and Hillary, they're a bunch of anal white men in power suits trying to look important.

Answer 10

No, although there are a few exceptions.

1. Hippies. 'Nuff said.
