Our men and women in the armed forces wear dozens of pounds of gear, live in sparse conditions for long periods of time, face live fire, get killed, lose limbs, develop PTSD, and are thousands of miles away from their families for months and months at a time.
Do you think you can call up your courage and put a dainty piece of cloth over your cakeholes before you walk into Target to buy your 1% milk without screaming like a banshee at the minimum wage worker at the door ensuring that masks are worn? Also, can you summon your resolve to lift your weary arms a bit in order to make sure that your mask covers your nose holes too?
Our front line health care workers wear masks for several long shifts, are in direct contact with people who have a deadly disease for hours at a time, are saving lives, are mourning with the families of the dead, and then have to go home to their own families and strip down in the garage and take a shower with indentations cut into their faces due to wearing PPE in the proper manner for 16 hours straight with no relief.
I know it's hard for you, but do you think you can throw on a soft comfy two layered cotton mask while you try to pick out the least warped 2x4's at Home Depot while dragging your six unmasked family members along with you because you HAVE to build that dog house today?
Also, do you think you might be able to not belittle people who are wearing masks by calling them sheep?
Do you HAVE to put Trump flags and Confederate flags on your pickup trucks? Do you think that makes the rest of the world look favorably upon you?
Do you think you can maybe do some quiet reflection for awhile, and maybe, just maybe, just shut the fuck up for a bit?
Do you understand that "libtard" and "snowflakes" are overused, and were never very creative insults in the first place?
Can you try to have a moment of rational thought and ponder why you think that everything that Trump does not like is a "hoax"? That reputable news organizations that have been around for decades are not "fake news"?
Now might be the perfect time to wonder why Covid is more out of control than ever, even though the election is over. Remember all of those times you typed on facebook that Covid will be over by election day, and then you added that laughing emoticon to your statement, and you got 100 likes from your facebook "friends" for posting what passes as "wit" on facebook?
Do you ever wonder why you never saw thousands of huge flags bearing Obama's name being flown proudly on pickup trucks? Bush's name? Clinton's name? Have you ever once thought that you might be brainwashed? Might be in a cult?
Do you think that maybe, you can sacrifice and not go to a crowded bar to drink with the boys for a few months? Is it worth the risk to do that?
Better start paying attention, MAGATS. Covid's comin' for you.
