You know sometimes I think right wingers are mostly all that's here in rural Ohio. But then my district in the state house and senate has two democrats.
How did they determine attractiveness? Facial symmetry and measurements? Or did they just ask people who is the more attractive?

My guess would be that people in the entertainment industry tend to be very right brained... artistic and all that. And I think there is also a correlation between being right brained and voting Democrat. But I don't know... any other theories? Actually right/left hemisphere dominant is just a myth , the hemispheres are connected and they comunicate , the right cand do what the left doest and the left can do what the right does , it is just a matter of speed, it has no impact on your personality.
Not related to the topic but I just found this out recently and wanted to share.

An attractive conservative is sort of like a magnificent bighorn sheep, standing in solitary majesty on a wind-swept, rocky crag...

Thanks for the info. Any theories as to why celebrities are overwhelmingly liberal?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Well one cause could be that in order for an artist to create art he needs to experiment a lot soo he needs to be a free spirit in that way.
Another cause could be presure , knowing that your words really get to people, now imagine what would happen if you start a pro-racism campaign.
And they also don't have to obey the social norm, for them money will keep coming no matter what.( this one is harder to explain)

Maybe because to be an actor you have to see yourself in other people's shoes, something that Conservatives aren't capable of?

Celebrities talk like liberals, but live like conservatives. Maybe it's a god complex type thing? They view themselves as the benevolent ruling class 'looking out' for the unwashed masses? I find it amusing listening to Anderson Cooper or Stephen Colbert rage against CEO pay while making millions a year while the guy who cleans the studio is making peanuts. It's the same dynamic we see in the corporate world.
Try to take a meaningful amount of money from them to give to those in need, and we'd see their true colors. That goes for Democrat politicians as well. I think most rich people are greedy republicans at heart.

Quote:Physical attractiveness is an important social factor in our daily interactions. Scholars in social psychology provide evidence that attractiveness stereotypes and the “halo effect” are prominent in affecting the traits we attribute to others. However, the interest in attractiveness has not directly filtered down to questions of political behavior beyond candidates and elites. Utilizing measures of attractiveness across multiple surveys, we examine the relationship between attractiveness and political beliefs. Controlling for socioeconomic status, we find that more attractive individuals are more likely to report higher levels of political efficacy, identify as conservative, and identify as Republican. These findings suggest an additional mechanism for political socialization that has further implications for understanding how the body intertwines with the social nature of politics.

So, for sake of argument, let's assume it's true.
So what?
I mean, beyond the troll value.
