      Less the smile itself but that the eyes tell you it’s not a genuine, heartfelt smile. It just looks fake.

      Honestly I feel like I see this smile a lot when you look at politicians, ceos of big or terrible companies. Its like they don’t know how to smile, at best they do the thing with the mouth but the eyes just look cold and predatory. Ron Desantis looks like he’s being involuntarily sodomized when he smiles in pictures, its like he can’t even fake it.

      Not that I think these people can’t feel joy or genuinely smile, I’m sure you could get more expression from them if you paid them to physically torture helpless poor people. But when they smile for us, its always dead in the eyes
