As right-wing protesters descended on Huntington Beach, California to demand an end to the coronavirus lockdown, one protester in particular caught the eye of social media: A man whose sign read COVID-19 is a lie even as he marched in a mask and a full-body protective suit.
Commenters laughed at the apparent contradiction and some California lawmakers weighed in on the protesters generally.

(22,990 posts)It's like Kramer's USPS mail protest dummy. The costume is an exaggeration of their straw man argument. Nonsensical.
( Not saying Kramer is a right-wing nutjob at all. He's a beloved character. )

(9,944 posts)... he "overdressed" to make a point, which may not have been made the way he intended. That was my first thought, upon seeing the picture.

(45,806 posts)thing is completely made up by the media & gov't so they can just boss people around. When asked about why he thought about the many people who are dying, they said it's just the flu that comes around every year. They think wearing all these masks & staying 6 feet apart is just stupid and they don't bother with any of it.
My son said he tried to explain the facts to them but now has just given up. He said their minds are made up and it's not worth wasting you breath.

(45,806 posts)ALL Rethughs! I don't think it has anything to do with their mental capacity, but they believe Trump was right when he said it was just another flu & it will go away.

(12,640 posts)Happy to be Union guys, but at the same time, most were also LibertarianAssholes (you can't say "libertarian" without asshole attaching itself to that word) who actually believed that they were the only people who really worked hard and deserved their rather nice paycheck and benefits and everyone else who wasn't already well off were just lazy slackers.
They didn't seem to understand what their Union did for them, either. They all "made it by themselves without any help or handouts..."

Yes, your son's coworkers are completely irrational. Maybe COVID-19 causes trump-brain.
