The banality of evil. Sinister isn't a look, it's a vibe. I didn't see Carol's husband as sinister. I saw him as a bitch who would back down the second another man told him in no uncertain terms that the world had changed and the rest of the group won't be put in danger because he's punching his Nazi loving wife. And that the group is more important than one person. That everyone is disposable. And he's at the top of the list.

The Gov is charisma. A salesman or a sociopath. Think the General in the Postman. His pistol on the hip is a pretty badass look tho.
