Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve always thought that hard lefties have a certain kind of dead eye look to them. Something in the soul, I suppose. The women look hard and worn and the men look weak. I’ve seen the look and found the ideology later many, many times. Weird, but generally true in my experience.
I think I see kind of the same thing. When I see pictures of Dennis Kucinich, for example, I see no soul in the eyes. Not every liberal looks soulless, just some of them.
