I think that many Republicans have a distinctive "look" that lets me spot them from a mile away. It's hard to describe and I don't know if there's a definitive list of specific characteristics that can be compiled. I guess it's kind of a "total package" kind of thing in their overall appearance and style.

As I'm watching today's impeachment proceedings... there's not a single Republican who's been onscreen that I would have mistaken to be a Democrat.

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

1. I have a friend who refers to it as the PHD look.

Pentacostal Hair-Do 😊

[NurseJackie]

9. Poofy wigs and bad shellacked toupees...

Poofy wigs and bad shellacked toupees that don't match their natural hair color. Brown toupees and gray eyebrows (and gray untrimmed neckhair sticking out from beneath the toupee neckline) ... pathetic. Do they think we can't see? They're not fooling anyone.

45. hierarchy of Republican degrees

BS = Bullshit
MS = More of Same
PhD = Piled Higher & Deeper

[RainCaster]

2. I saw them last night, during the rally

The only ones who gave us a thumbs down or the finger were OLD, WHITE and MALE.

There was one ancient crone who drove off the road almost hitting us, she was so busy showing us her "Trump 2020" bumper sticker that she carried in her purse.

[Marthe48]

4. Thanks for going out to support the impeachment rally

[kentuck]

3. It's the lack of blood in their faces...

...from hanging upside down.

[NurseJackie]

5. Many do have a corpse-like appearance.

[Marthe48]

6. This:

[NurseJackie]

10. Perfect!

[smirkymonkey]

7. I agree.

It's a kind of "republi-dar". There is just something about them that radiates ignorance, hatred, stupidity and prejudice. I would bet that I could pick them out of a crowd with about 90% accuracy.

[NurseJackie]

11. "Republi-dar" --- OMG! Perfect!

[dalton99a]

8. They look like assholes and talk like lying assholes

[Dream Girl]

12. Usually look unhealthy

[The Figment]

13. "The Deer in the Headlights" look

That blank look that deer have about a half second before disaster.

[TruckFump]

14. Could it be the fact that they slither on their belies and have...

...forked tongues that makes identifying them easier than with other political ilk?

[SWBTATTReg]

15. I think it is that shifty, used car salesman look that one sees when you drive into a ...

used car lot. I could spot these people a mile away.

[Atticus]

16. Agree. For me it is the fangs. nt

[True Blue American]

17. Funny you posted that

Because I was thinking the same thing. Is it mannerisms, looks, actions, what?

When they start talking a mile a minute there is no question, but for some reason, women, too.

Ted Lieu is back! All rested and speaking out. Democrats do not need to yell.

[NurseJackie]

19. The yelling, yes...that's part of it also. There's a lot of "country" accents among the GOP as well.

The yelling, yes...that's part of it also. There's a lot of "country" accents among the GOP as well.

Their blatant disregard for the truth, and the fact that they appear to believe the lies... well, it just makes them look like gullible goobers.

[True Blue American]

21. I like the Pentecostal Hair Do.

Have to remember that one.

[NurseJackie]

25. Examples that come to my mind...

[True Blue American]

26. Is that Rudy?

Laughing hysterically!

[NurseJackie]

27. The guy with the toupee that looks like a felt cap is Ernest Angely ... faith healer... DEMONS OUT!!

[True Blue American]

31. Looks like Rudy

With a wig on.

[Cartoonist]

36. Is that a swastika kerchief in his pock

Or the KKK logo?

[sheshe2]

52. The yell is a tell.

That and saying it as fast as they can, stringing incoherent sentences together while flapping their arms, pointing and foaming at the mouth.

Mad GOP Disease and they are all truly diseased.

[harumph]

20. "A screen of florist's ferns was being built up before ...

her eyes behind the coffin. Then a man stepped out from behind the green and presented a full, square
face with its small features pulled to the center-- what Laurel's mother had called "a Baptist face."

24. I like that! Thank you! Among many they do have someone of an inbred appearance and...

I like that! Thank you! Among many they do have someone of an inbred appearance and characteristics... especially the eyes. (Vacant, or beady, or too close together, or flounder-eyes like Sarah Sanders.)

[C_U_L8R]

22. That raging hemorrhoid look

Conservatism clearly makes them unhappy assholes.

[Aristus]

23. Fat, white, bald with graying fringe, steel-rimmed glasses.

I don't know why the steel-rimmed glasses stand out for me in the GOP phenotype. But it rarely fails to identify them.

[True Blue American]

29. I remember my Son asking

“ Who is the goofy looking guy peering over his glasses?” Told him that was his new Governor, Mike DeWine!

[Vinca]

28. I have to agree with you. They've got this dim bulb aura about them so they're easy to spot.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. Many of them seem to be sort of soft and squishy-looking.

Like the Pillsbury Dough Boy, only mean.

[democrank]

32. I woke up this morning feeling a bit stressed because I don't have a tee vee, but

after reading some of these responses to you, I almost feel grateful.

The “look” I see on Republicans is one of impatience, disinterest when a “lesser” is speaking. They really have no use for people whose grandfather didn’t give them 75 acres and a bank job.... one of those white bank jobs.

Then there are some other Republicans (like Mr. Gym Jordan) who just grin. They grin when traumatized people are speaking, they grin when protestors get sprayed with tear gas , they grin when Trump throws paper towels at hurricane victims.

Republicans have certain looks for sure, and I detest every single one of them.

[NurseJackie]

40. I thought it may be something that's interesting to watch, but I had to turn it off..

I thought it may be something that's interesting to watch, but I had to turn it off. The GOP whining and stupidity was just too much to handle. So many lies! So many insults.

No minds will be changed today. They're just talk-talk-talking to their constituents, or to Trump.

[nancy1942]

33. I totally agree with you.

They all have that same condescending smirk/sneer on their pasty faces. And if they also happen to be of the evangelical persuasion those facial expressions are even more pronounced. I can spot them a mile away. I wish this weren't the case.

[Sugar Smack]

34. Their facial features are all squashed into the center of their heads

(Charlie Brown style.) It's as if an ordinary plumpish white man had a very powerful vacuum nozzle fastened to his face, turned it on full *suck*, and pulled all his features into a little mad rictus. The rest of the skin around their features is blank. No bones, just mushroom-colored skin all the way up to an obsessively controlled hairline.

That's what I see when look at Republicans, singly or in a group.

[cutroot]

35. It's an intensity of malice

It takes a while to interpret the signs. I stopped lending my utility trailer to my neighbor the minute I recognized it. It occurred to me that if something went wrong, he would do anything to put the blame on anyone but him. They all do it reflexively.

[Baked Potato]

37. No smile, unless it's making fun of someone

[Hekate]

38. Truculence?

[NurseJackie]

39. Absolutely! And they don't even have to open their mouths...

... sometimes it's the look in their eyes, and that's all that's needed.

[Girl powers]

41. Thank you all for Talking about this

I have noticed in particular the haircolor.
Gentleman, if you’re going to dye your hair please have a professional do it. Hair color is very subtle, a range of colors that lighten as we age.
Are a lot of you color blind? It’s hard to take someone seriously when all i can do is muse “WHAT are they thinking?”
I kindly will not mention George Conway.

[NurseJackie]

43. Bad hair dye jobs and off-color toupees for men.

Jet black hair on a 70 year old man just looks silly! (Unless he's trying to be Emo or Goth... and of course, that would not look silly at all.)

[LeftInTX]

42. I don't even have to look

Every time I hear a southern accent......

[NurseJackie]

44. It's very common.

I know that broad-brush generalizations are risky... but it often seems that the Democrat or liberal politician from a "Southern drawl" state has lost their accent, or it's not as pronounced and exaggerated.

I guess I sometimes wonder if the Republican politicians from those states make an effort to emphasize their drawl.

[Raftergirl]

46. I was playing Guess Who's Republican with myself

while watching today. Haven’t been wrong yet. There is definitely a “look” they all have, and it’s the same look all the comms on Fox have, too.

[Patterson]

47. Easy. They're white.

[LiberalFighter]

48. I've noticed that for quite a while. Tried to put my finger on it.

[Karadeniz]

49. Yes! Easily confused with Southern Baptist look.

[BuffaloJackalope]

50. It's the discount Amway suits

[rufus dog]

51. Over combed or slicked down hair

Tight lipped, often look constipated.

Rep Swalwell was one of the few who I missed by first appearance.

[Poiuyt]

53. Republican hair
