THE WAR ON MASKS

Because Trump has made wearing a mask a political and cultural issue instead of a health and safety issue, a lot of his supporters have been verbally attacking people for wearing masks. Due to this, a lot more people needlessly got sick and died while the coronavirus spread faster. This video is of a man in Arizona who verbally attacked people for wearing a mask and had to be carried out of the store like a petulant infant. I have had at least two encounters of such deranged characters. The first time was at the dog park, where I was confronted by a Trump supporter because I was wearing a mask that said “Vote”. A few days later, I was in line for Yogurtland and was yelled at by a maniacal woman for wearing protective medical gloves. These people have completely lost their minds because they believed the garbage Trump was spoon feeding them. I wear a mask and gloves for two reasons. First, I don’t want to get sick and potentially die. Second, I don’t want to spread the virus if I turn out to be an unwitting carrier. These Trump zealots and cultists can yell and scream at me all they want, but I am not changing how I handle the pandemic. It is what has kept me healthy and alive up until now.
