How do people look at this sweaty orange face and think “that’s the guy”

Because they have to. It's decades of conservative media concealing reality finally coming to fruition.

Conservatives genuinely believe democrats are ushering in fascism, because their politicians tell them so constantly. Trump may not be pretty or even coherent, but he offers a perceived anti-establishment position in a country where corruption has clearly (to them) infected every crevice.

They see Trump as their savior. They couldn't be further from the truth. But their media has done untold damage to them and managed to convince them over the span of about 50 years that the US is constantly on the brink of destruction.

Yes, Trump rhetoric is anti-elitist, anti-liberal ultra-nationalist targeted at an empoverished working class. Exactly like national-socialism. And exactly like national-socialism, it's profiting off the contradictions of liberals who pretend to be progressive while upholding inequalities.

Bravo my friend, you've solved the illusion of American politics. Too bad it doesn't matter in this context

I mean, I'm not really keen on people voting for whoever is the most-physically-attractive, either.

I do agree on principle. Having said that, don't you just feel it in your bones that George Clooney is meant to be president? Precisely because he looks like he does?

Not really. But Harrison Ford pulled it off in that plane movie. Him then would be right. Not now.

If anybody can lead this country against an unstoppable invasion, it's Bill Paxton...errr...Pullman. Bill Pullman.

Off topic a bit but I've always thought Bill Pullman is both very recognizable and forgettable at the same time.

I suppose that if someone never shows their actual face, they could deepfake Harrison Ford at any age. Could have President Han Solo.
