TIL about the “Mar-a-Lago face” a bold plastic surgery and fashion trend popular among American conservative and Republican circles. It’s characterized by “detectable” facial modifications, including exaggerated Botox, visible fillers, extreme tanning, fake eyelashes, dark smokey eyes, and full lips. The look is often seen as a status symbol and a way to signal political allegiance, inspired by figures in Donald Trump’s inner circle. The trend is so distinctive that it’s been described as a “visual shorthand” for wealth, power, and identity within these groups.

90,000 dollars to butcher your own face so that Trumpists will know that you’re a Trumpist.
It’s like every single day I encounter something and I’m like, “Well, it can’t really get any stupider than that.” And like every single day I am astonished at how stupid things can get.
In my day we’d just dye our fringe blue and have an earnest belief in human rights.

Tnx, good link!
From ‘normal’ to " abhorrently ugly".
At least they are now easy to spot and forever identifiable.
It’s like the inverse of the lizard people conspiracy theory.
“Welp, time to get into politics. Better go lizard up.”
Lizards as in reptilians. It’s become a bit of self fulfilling prophesy.
Snakes and the likes have a peculiar reptilian smell, iirc…
You made me laugh, tnx. But now I’ll stop thinking of other weird things to say…
It’d explain why they’re cold-blooded. Remember the whole thing about eating bugs as a meat substitute? If I told you Trump was molting, wouldn’t it make a strange amount of sense?

They look like titans from Attack on Titan after
Ok, but… Is there really much of a difference between this and “normal candid photo/awkwardly-timed candid photo” pairs here? I’m sure if people were taking photos of me everywhere I went I’d have some faces like that and I don’t want to have anything to do with those people.
That’s a fair point, these might be exaggerated to garner attention. Having said that, my lips don’t randomly swell like they’ve been stung by a bee, so there’s definitely a strong element of cosmetic surgery going on here.
Between how fast hate ages you, and those absolutely atrocious plastic surgeries, a lot of these people look near double their age. I fucking died inside, when i saw that Loomer is just a year older than me. She looks mid-50s at least, with a face that looks like she’s stretched it over her normal one
Doesn’t Bezos’ wife have that look? Does that mean she’s signaling she’s a trumper or she really doesn’t know.
I think it means she’s shallow and insecure.
Just a little more filler and she can easily hide in the duck pond without raising suspicion.
holy snapping duckshit wtaf is that jfc
Yea, he traded a classy sophisticated woman for that
I imagine one of those women dared to have her own opinions. Vs, yes money daddy, I’ll further look like a clown for you.
No, she’s trying to look like Mick Jagger.
It’s just bad plastic surgery for people with no taste; nothing really conservative about that but it sure seems to happen a lot in the red cap circles.
Lips, buccal fat removal, some jaw restructuring perhaps and hella facelift/botox.
Fuck, she looks like her jaw could unhinge like a snake.
when I was growing up we called that trashy. But you do you I guess
I still call it trashy.
Showing everyone how ugly they are on the inside by fucking up the outside.
You remember how after the war they shaved the heads of collaborators? After the coming war, we should deflate the botox out of collaborators.
…or inflate it further. Double it.
Gaetz … paid to look like that?
Gaetz just got a bad botox job. Wonder if he’ll keep it as it wears off. Look, I hate the fucker, he was my Congressman, but his look isn’t anything compared to what these women are doing.
Nah man Gaetz is unrecognizable compared to the before pics. That picture of his fresh Botox job in 2024 was nightmarish and still clowned on to this day.
How was he to know that mask he found would turn him into a cartoonish villain?

First example: Matt Gaetz. Thanks Mr. Wikipedia, very cool.
Hey I’ve read this one
So they literally mar their faces to signal they’re Lagos? I know what mar means, but what’s a Lago?
I can’t wait for this to take off amongst the rank-and-file.
I’m all for it. I get it. They don’t want to put a giant Nazi sign on their face.
Then that plastic face look is the next best thing so we know what you are.
Is that like “resting fascist face” or sth?
Ah ritual body modifications in order to get favor from the God. Doomsday cult we deserve.
