This who "no mask" thing is turning into another Jan 6th. The majority

are watching crazy killer parents at schoolboard meetings and are disgusted. The nutters are screaming to endanger children like they will die if they put on a mask. People will die. Only this time they will be children. And they would have been in a maskless situation.

understand their thinking. It's not like they were told they HAD to vaccinate their kids. A mask doesn't do anything permanent. It can't possibly harm their kids, & if they're wrong, it could help them.

It’s not enough for them to be allowed to go maskless, they’re now demanding that the teacher cannot be masked because her smile would not be visible.

Mega #thread on #exploretalent & the phenomenon of failed aspiring entertainers of the Right

Some context: in the late 90's-early 00's, there were numerous nationwide talent searches that would advertise at the high schools in Southern California

1/
Once I attended a search, & when my dad found out they were intending on putting me on the internet, he demanded my photos back & rescinded any permission to use my likeness

These searches "presented" themselves as different "companies"

2/
#exploretalent is a live database that quite literally is the stitching together of numerous databases & different technologies. That's why the site is weird. It also looks very similar to early #facebook You can even register to vote, "like" "friend" etc

Including ones going to meetings and appearing on TV as "Concerned Broward Parents" and whatever. And, even for the ones who actually live here and aren't actors? Most either don't have school aged kids, or their kids go to private schools WITH MASK MANDATES, like the school DeSantis' kids go to.

Most Catholic schools here are mandating masks.

is that the polling shows them as a clear minority. A loud, crass minority being amplified and encouraged by social media.
