I've found that, in general, if you look behind a democrat candidate giving a speech, the people behind them are often less attractive than the population in general. If you look behind a republican candidate giving a speech, the people behind them are typically more attractive. The women making up feminist groups are typically less attractive than women in general. etc, etc.
Now we have a study that shows this may actually be true, and not just my imagination:
Do YOU think Trump is better looking than Obama? Study suggests right-wing people are more attractive than those on the left | Daily Mail Online
I never thought that much about the reason, but the study has a couple of potential reasons that I found interesting to think about (not certain they are true, but they certainly are possible).

a new study suggests that attractiveness of a candidate also correlates with their politics. The findings indicates that people in Europe, the US and Australia find right-wing politicians better looking than those on the left.

'Our explanation is that beautiful people earn more, which makes them less inclined to support redistribution.'The researchers also suggest that good-looking people tend to be treated better, and so see the world as a more just place.
