Its a lot easier looking at a beautiful person these days and not feeling a bit of jealousy knowing there is a decent chance they would vote for fascism. (lemmy.world)

Beep boop. I am robot.. beep boop I have no emotion.

ITT: the 30 some odd people who that have transcended human desire.

I really can't tell. Did I flush the trump supporters out with this post? Are people so offended that a beautiful person could be a NAZI? Or am I just too blunt and to admit I don't go around imagining everyone is morally upright really makes people uncomfortable. Aka I'm an ass. Let me know cause I've said some dumb shit but this one hit a nerve.

Interesting article

Then their beauty and your jealousy have nothing to do with their politic opinion and you're just mixing up unrelated things in the OP

Polticial opinion speaks directly to how ugly and distasteful a person can be. Viscerally, as the observer, shading someone's outward appearance with what might be inside changes how they appear.
