"Masks" have become a proxy for "Trump Supporters" and "Non Trump Supporters"

When the media, politicians, etc. are bashing those not wearing masks and blaming them for coronavirus spread, what they are really doing, is bashing Trump supporters. They are trying to psychologically have people link those who don't wear masks, to those who support Trump.

So when the media goes full panic about coronavirus and governors start shutting things down again, they are going to blame those of us who didn't wear masks. What that really means, is that they are blaming Trump supporters.

"Those damn people who refused to wear masks ruining it for us all!" = "Those damn Trump supporters/conservatives ruining it for us all!"

This is the main reason for the mask push. It's an attempt to blame those not wearing masks for coronavirus spread, hospitalizations, deaths, shutdown, economic disaray, and despair. And then people will link those not wearing masks to Trump supporters/conservatives because they are being conditioned to do so, so Trump and Conservatives will get the blame.
