9:42Now PlayingLooksmaxxing Culture Meets Politics: Why One MAGA Guy Hates JD Vance
A MAGA-leaning streamer named Clavicular made waves recently by declaring on a podcast that he would vote for Gavin Newsom over JD Vance, going so far as to call Vance "subhuman" based on facial proportions. Clavicular, who practices looksmaxxing and judges people by their width to height facial ratio, described Newsom as a "6'3 Chad" while criticizing Vance's appearance and charisma. The comments surprised the MAGA podcast host and sparked broader discussions about political leadership and physical appearance in American politics.
Tim Miller and John Heilemann analyzed the situation, with Heilemann suggesting many Americans find Vance somewhat repellent and lacking the charisma and leadership qualities that Newsom projects. Clavicular himself has been in the news for running over a stalker with his Cybertruck during a live stream after months of documented harassment. The incident highlights the strange intersection of incel culture terminology, looksmaxxing obsession, and political discourse. Hawk examines how subcultures like the incel community use terms like Chad to describe conventionally attractive men who supposedly get all the attention, while lamenting the bizarre state of presidential politics in America.
The conversation touches on charisma, leadership perception, physical appearance in politics, and the internet's role in amplifying niche ideologies. With Gavin Newsom frequently mentioned as a potential presidential candidate and JD Vance as Trump's vice president, these superficial assessments reveal something deeper about how Americans evaluate their leaders.
