You're free to wear a mask if you want to just like you're free to stay home if you're afraid of a virus. The problem is when you're forced to do those things.

I'm personally not afraid, its just reality with the virus, and I use my judgment when the mask is necessary (ie not on sidewalks, outdoors, curbside pickup, etc). I understand it's pointless in some instances, such as having to wear it when walking to a restaurant table, when not having to at the table.

That said to me it's not much different than littering - a small inconvenience, but it's responsible, and worthwhile to not litter. I'm just really sick of the projection that only weak, sheepish people wear masks - I've never seen anyone too strong, or intelligent to wear a mask.

Politicizing the mask into [ALWAYS] or [NEVER] is just dumb, like everything, people need to see some middle ground

So you've worn a mask every day for your entire life? That's sad. I can't imagine living in fear of the common cold, flu, or tuberculosis without an autoimmune disorder.

What are you even talking about? I never said I wore a mask every day of my entire life. Not hard to understand wearing a mask during a pandemic in which older Trump voters (a large part of our base) are dying everyday. Get real, dont be part of the problem - if states are swung by 2000~ votes, at least you can say you were tough for not wearing a mask.
