I don't understand the beard trend. (Pictured in the article) It seems like a huge portion of anti-government and/or ardent President Trump supporters have those big untrimmed beards.
Is it regional based on where many such supporters live? I certainly don't see any ideological link to untrimmed beards, so it must be some other co-occuring factor.
- iknowstuff 6y agoHaha good point. Violence, guns, big trucks and beards are their expressions of masculinity. Conservatism is big on clear division of gender roles, patriarchy and the role of a strong man as the head of the family. IANAP, but there's probably a link there.
- newguy1234 6y agoConservative men pride themselves in being distinctly men so they exaggerate the masculine traits like a beard.
- morsch 6y agoAh yes, conservative men, known since time immemorial for their scraggly beards and unkempt attire. Like Eisenhower!
