I saw that Prisoner episode (and I regard it as the most interesting question).

No, that won't float. It took way more effort to pack her stuff, sneak out, buy a bust ticket, find a place to live and make her friends promise not to tell him where than it would have taken to not do it. So she must have had a reason.
We all need more motivation to act than to refrain from acting. Even rocks need a kick to start rolling down the hill.

I gave my customers the motivation to act (trade secret).

Fine. But it doesn't answer my questions, nor pose one of your own.
Why have so many right-wing politicians have fat heads?

What's the survival value of the fathead gene, and by what mechanism is it transmitted?
IOW Why is fatheadedness an advantage to the subspecies?

The advantage is obvious. It gets him elected President.

Not so far. All the presidents have been normal-looking, except Taft, and that wasn't the reason people voted for him. They're mostly mayors. There have been and are a few senators and governors and lots of cabinet misters - but mostly mayors.
By fathead, I mean literally:

No, because she fancied the other guy more.

I suspect the first guy was abusive, but you may be right.
Why can't I shake that st-t-tutter?
