It's so obvious, even a child could spot it. They both start with "Ma" and contain an "s". Now don't you feel stupid. :bangwall:

The anti-maskers think that colleges and universities = Marxist teachings. Therefore, doctors are uber-Marxists because they go to college for 7 years .

Well I was kinda looking into why they think it's Marxist to wear masks.

I kinda think they say it for the following reasons:

1) The government is telling them they have to, which is totalitarian. (Yes, I know it's not)
2) They think that totalitarian is Russian
3) They think that Russian is Marxist

Problems with that

1) Russia was Marxist for all of five minutes
2) They then became totalitarian instead
3) They don't know what Marxism is about.
4) Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition

Pretty much what I am seeing too.

If Trump wore a mask from the beginning I think the mask issue wouldn't be nearly as a big of a problem as it is now. With more people wearing masks, the less of the spread which means lower numbers too and potentially getting the country back on its feet much sooner.

But hey, muh freedoms!

Wan't Wasn't sure where to put this, but I am pretty isolated, and my mental health is completed shot to shit at the moment. I have left the house once a month since March for medication and gas/electricity top up, everything else is done online. Anyway, I just went out for this months medication, and not a single person other me has a mask. Whilst I don't go out, I am aware the virus is still about, so how come no one anywhere is wearing a mask? I even got weird looks from several people. What gives?

EDIT: I am in Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom.

Can't speak for the UK but in the US, people have stopped wearing masks outside for the most part. I think it's a combination of 'muh rights' and people just following them. Though majority of the stores require it in side.

Not just wearing a mask, but as a businessman he would also be selling them. Imagine how many MAGA masks could have been sold for $20 (and lives saved) from his online store. Add different colors available for sale and President Trump wears a different color often, encouraging people to buy another mask so they can be seen wearing the same color as the President.

And now that it is election time, add in the new Trump2020 mask to get all those sales rolling in again.

Of course everyone working for him is pretty much required to wear a Trump brand mask that they have to purchase themselves.
