2. What people don't get is that wearing a mask helps keep other people safe

These people seem to think it's their "right" to take chances with themselves, but they do not have the "right" to spread the virus to others.

5. It's usually.....

for "special" occasions. Like flag waving days. I think this gov had to push it down. Could be he's on his first steps to recovery. Imagine a blue N Dak.

Now I'm getting misty........

8. At least some Republicans get it

Sure we liberals know masks are to avoid spreading it to others and everyone should wear one. But many Republicans are aggressively shaming people for wearing them or trying to pull it off their face. Some conservative owned businesses ban masks in their stores. It's really wild and dangerous in some red areas of the country.
