In future if they ask about the appearance of Democrats, you can use the dodge that “this is what they look like on the inside.” This is a good start, to wax poetically about the harm it does a person to be filled with bitterness, envy and hate. And while it doesn’t always show at first glance, they cannot hide their true appearance for long.
Likewise, take the opportunity to explain that appearances are not everything, but once you get to know a person, they may look ugly on the outside, but be beautiful within, and vice versa. And that often, the most beautiful people are miserable inside, because they know that outside beauty doesn’t last, and yet that is all they have. Once it is gone, they have nothing.
