i'm a dem but leaning more 'leftist' as of late (as in the bernie sanders sense of leftism, not communism). i'm not all that 'woke' though.

Looks wise, I don't think you can tell and I don't look stereotypical. I have long hair in my natural color, I wear a full face of normal makeup typically, i wear jewelry, I don't have tattoos, the only piercings are on my ears (though I do have three holes in one ear. maybe that's a bit more liberal), i'm not overweight, my current style isn't particularely alt/very different/very showy or butchy. though i do think you can tell i'm not mormon level conservative or something at least.

Personality wise, i'm not stereotypical at all. i'm not all an intersectional feminist or something like that. i have a sense of humor. I don't do weird sex stuff or live in a polycule, i support the LGB and real bio trans people but not anything more than that like neopronouns or demi boy type shit. i don't do things like drink matcha tea at a feminist queer library with mental health support cats to cuddle and read with, or stuff like that either. i try to live up to beauty standards and i like many pretty feminine things. but i don't think my personality is very conservative either, i'm for freedom and choice in lifestyles and beliefs, i don't aspire to live in trad gender roles, i'm an atheist, i like exploring different cultures and broadening my horizons, etc

Well maybe but maybe not obvious?
My band hoodies should show I am opposed the status quo of conservatism especially religious side right?
But I also ain't a left like in the photo used who's being a karen out there doing things for attention, being crazy and that.

I'm not sure, to be completely honest. I'd guess more likely than not, but I don't know.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

Republicans think I should dye my hair blue and liberals think I should wear a natzi patch. It's one of the reasons I think we should limit who can vote

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

Im not a part of a political group... I don't think people can tell what political policies i agree/ don't agree with just by looking at me. But they could make assumptions if they know me. Im usually under the assumption that people I get along with tend to hold the same moral compass more or less.

DonaldDarko · Answer

I'm actually a lot more moderate than I might seem depending on who you are. Some people think that supporting ICE makes you a Nazi so you can't really go off of some whack job like that. Normal people wouldn't think I was that radical, I'm closer to the center than a lot of people, more libritarian leaning in a lot of ways.

AMS700CX4u2 · Answer

I do walk around with a smile on my face, like continuously. It has been there since I was two as was recorded by photographs. I don't think politics has anything to do with my happiness. I have watched to much occur in the last 76 years, Just like the Royals I don't think I would want any of them living next to me.

Account · Answer

I think it is blatantly obvious. Not just appearance-wise.

sawno · Answer

Nah I think people would have absolutely no idea. Probably for the best how often people with my kind of views get slandered. If they knew it first glance they would make very inaccurate assumptions.

Joshydavid25 · Answer

No, I used to be a Conservative.. Now more of a Fairly right leaning Libertarian.. And I'm young and "Black" for one.. And I have long dread locs with 3 piercings in each ear usually.. So one look at me and I would immediately be thought to be on the left..

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Probably a lot of people think I'm a democrat! I AM registered as one but I voted republican the last 3 times. WAAAAYYYYY better results!!!

HawkPerception · Answer

I think I look pretty normal. I think that categorizes me as conservative for most people.

CalmUntilAbused · Answer

I am a young, white man. It's really not that hard to tell what my beliefs are, but the opposing side would make me into a Nazi, making their guesses wrong.

AviatorTom · Answer

Not at all. I look normal. Some people view that as conservative while others think I'm liberal. I'm neither, just a middle of the road Independent with some liberal ideas and some conservative ones.

TwoDecisions · Answer

Nah, not American. Politics don't become our whole identity.

OneViewpoint · Answer

No. people read me wrong almost 100% of the time because of my appearance and my background. The reactions when the MAGA crowd finds out I'm not "one of them" are hilarious.

douride2 · Answer

Most times most people are wrong about who they think I am.

beefcakebradybatson · Answer

I'm a Democratic Socialist and a cover boy telegenic, Mensa-level brainy black Canadian/American man who resembles a handsome black cowboy when wearing Western duds, so I think my looks fit my politics.

red-lipstick-girl · Answer

Everyone who looks at me says they see a sweet person, so no, my political views aren't clear and I'm very happy that they aren't clear.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

No. A lot of people think they can, but they are always wrong.

MrChinaski · Answer

Let's just say I got selected into a jury and elected foreman because I had a super 140s suit, clean shiny leather shoes, and my skull shaved to a 1 setting. Nobody could spot my politics.

aceleon · Answer

no, because politics can suck it i have no interest in them.

genericname85 · Answer

Probably not. Cause I'm a centrist. Centrists don't look a certain way like extremists do.

RavVid · Answer

I'm white and dress conservatively so I guess most could get my politics with one guess.

Rangers · Answer

My straight edge shaping of my facial hair marks me as a republican, along with my traditionally masculine clothing and carrying of myself

loveslongnails · Answer

You can tell what my politics are by what I DON'T wear, i. e., a certain stupid red hat.

Anonymous · Answer

No. I'm a moderate conservative, for which the stereotype is racist, sexist and heartless. I am far from being any of those, and that is also true of every other conservative I know.

drummerdude25 · Answer

Some people DO make it pretty obvious…

David318578 · Answer

Yes, im a moderate so I look and act like a normal human being.

Nope. You gotta hear what someone has to say

Dargil · Answer

Not really. I look kind of ordinary.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

I don't think anyone can by just looking at someone.  At best is a guest.
