A new peer-reviewed study says that facial recognition technology can accurately 'read' a person's political affiliation just by looking at their face.

A study recently published in the peer-reviewed American Psychologist journal claims that a combination of facial recognition and artificial intelligence technology can accurately assess a person’s political orientation by simply looking at that person’s blank, expressionless face. The study was authored by researchers at the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University.

Or, by contrast, if you have a big fat face, there’s a good chance you might be a Trump voter. Face/head is destiny, apparently. Researchers justify this assessment by pointing to the ways in which social expectations relative to physical appearances can influence personality development: ...facial appearance can shape psychological traits...People largely agree when judging political orientation from faces .
