They just need to play the video of Fauci months ago saying masks don't work on CNN and the sheep will follow. Their attention span only lasts 1 news cycle.

I would also throw in what India does, which is, once you vote, you dip a finger into ink, which stains your finger for a few days. You know, so you can't come back as your cat and vote again.

I think masks actually do an end-run around voter ID, unless they use fingerprints instead of pictures.

Is he promoting it? I saw him say that 'people' say it is Patriotic. And then him asking if he looked Patriotic.

I wonder how the other side is handling it, lol

If this is his reason, I wouldn't mind him promoting the shit out of, personally.

100% says the "science" suddenly proves that masks doesn't work once they realize the plan.

Yeah today in the briefing he said something along the lines of "first they said masks don't work then they changed their minds and I'm good with that" - paraphrasing - but it gave me a good laugh

Well, I'm not wearing one. It doesn't affect my support. I have to imagine it's causing more mental anguish to liberals than to people like us.

Yeah that’s thing. You don’t need to wear one BUT if Trump promotes it the media either say he did something good (they won’t) or they’ll come out against masks. Win win

How are his priorities compromised? He is not wearing a mask, like a normal human being. I try to get away without one whenever I can, and will continue to do so even after Trump suggested caving to the mask mob. I can't speak for OP, but I plan to be at the polls on election day, flu hoax or not, and I will NOT be wearing a mask.

2
Zordly 2 points ago +2 / -0

I send my mail in ballot early and then I check if it has been received. If it is not received by election day I go vote in person. This year, If they ask me to wear a mask I will refuse. If they don't allow me to vote, that is voter suppression. I don't need to fantasize about the course of events that occurs after that, but you are free to go ahead

People are just playing the game wear a mask in a supermarket so they don’t get attacked by Karen’s and wtv I go to restaurants and literally walk into the place with a mask and then take it off it’s all bs but I just play the game. Better to play the game then let trump lose

Exactly. I"m healthy, I don't care to be forced to wear one and denied service because I'm not. Elderly and immune compromised or sick fine but these mandates have to go.

Mike2 15 points ago +15 / -0

I keep the mask in my pocket and only put it on if someone at a store asks me to. Forcing them to have the awkward ask makes them think about it. Thinking is good for people.

The key thing is to be happy when you are not wearing a mask. It makes it that much harder for someone to be a jerk to you.

Because in 6 to 8 weeks, COVID will largely be over. It dies out at a herd immunity level of 16-20%. The U.S. is currently at an infection rate of roughly 15%. Give it another month, and the virus will largely burn itself out. Trump's pushing agenda now that he knows is largely bullshit, but within 2 months time he can claim "victory" and further the liberal reeeee.

Unfortunately I believe you’re right and have been saying this for months now. It will either suddenly be passé in November unless they can politicize it further and rebrand this mess into the new year. I can already visualize the COVID-20 propaganda.

Not if Trump wins through their cheating. They'll hammer it even harder with even more made up stats and figures just to do even more to try and harm him.

At that point, Trump doesn't have another election to win. The gloves will come off and they will kill the rona narrative themselves in order to not be made out to be fools by the real data.

swimminginthoughts 2 points ago +2 / -0

If he wins and they push it and he doesn't hold a press conference that says "fuck you media, fuck your masks, fuck your false positives, fuck your asymptomatic bull shit, FUCK YOU." I'm going to be disappointed.

Modus_Pwninz 26 points ago +30 / -4

This is a false narrative, folks.

They're saying that not only do we need masks, but we also still need social distancing and all the other measures including reduced capacity, no large groups, etc. It's all bullshit.

Trump isn't supporting this because it's 4D chess. He's supporting it because the left and MSM controls the (fake) narrative on reality since March. They handed Trump a shit sandwich called nationwide fear and hes stuck with playing along now.

They will absolutely still be doing mail in voting...which if he was going to stop, he would do via EO or indicate movement against it. He's only said "it's bad". It'll still happen, and it may steal the election. At best, we won't know the election results Nov 3rd, they'll be counting ballots in December and Biden will sue for a recount if it's even close. Hence the 600 lawyers.

Buckle up buttercups, shit is going to get way worse.

Houdini [S] 16 points ago +16 / -0

Turning the shit show they gave him against them is the kind of play I'd expect him to go for, although like you imply its going to be a rough ride.

A lot of people are concerned over mail in voting, we'll see how this play out, but hedging your bets are probably smart moves.

wiombims 7 points ago +7 / -0

I'm glad we can talk about this respectfully on here. I remember this weird phenomenon on reddit TD where people would get banned/downvoted for having one opinion then people would get banned/downvoted for having the opposite opinion a few months or weeks later.

Spirit_of_Resistance 8 points ago +8 / -0

My personal line has always been that I'm giving them all until Trump is out of office to judge whether the watering can will be needed. If they take him out through election fraud via the destruction of our country, I don't need to see 40.

Trump has never been our last hope for change, he was their last hope for it peacefully.

I think masks help a little, maybe 10% - 30%, mostly from spreading the infection. But again, unless you already have serious health issues, it's like common cold. It's not going to go away, get used to it.

4
wiombims 4 points ago +4 / -0

The cold isn't even that bad if people would freaking stay home and recover for however long they're stuffy and symptomatic for. Parents shouldn't let their snot nosed children wipe their boogers on every surface at school. Adults shouldn't do the same in the workplace. Unlike this junk which is allegedly spreadable without symptoms. People show up sick to class and work mostly because the systems in place force you to show up sick or pay a price.

giant88 2 points ago +2 / -0

I was under impression that coronaviruses are bigger than influenza viruses, but no, they are roughly the same size in diameter. From wikipedia, influenza is 80-120nm, coronavirus 125nm. One reason why masks may help is that although they don't block enough particles from spreading to have significant impact on person to person transmission rates, the lesser initial payload means immune system has more time to come up with appropriate response.

1
swimminginthoughts 1 point ago +1 / -0

Nah! It's forced mask wearing then when I vaccine is ready it will be "I'll trade you the mask for the vaccine."

They help zero. You rationalize so you can accept the the mandate without conflict. You only fool yourself.

giant88 1 point ago +1 / -0

I believed masks do nothing for a long time. Just until recently, maybe a couple of weeks ago when I continued to hear urges to wear masks from pretty respected intellectuals - like Fauci - lol no, not him jk :D Anyways, I'm sure mandates to wear masks will cause huge damage to human dignity where any potential health benefits are minimal, if not negative like breathing difficulties.

Or he's using his proven tactic of going alone with something so everyone else backs out or changes their minds. This may be what we finally need to get rid of these lockdowns and mask orders.

kek_saved_the_world 6 points ago +6 / -0

His lowest polls are responding to the virus while his highest are on law and order.. his polls are so low with repsonse to the virus because of media onslaught they are now connecting it to how does better on the economy.. as the virus is tied to the economy, he is bleeding out in that metric as well..

His team saw this, he moved brad out and brought new guy in. changed strategy to play the virus straight up, push masks to get he press off his back and stop the negative stories.. he has a bigger strategy that is longer term to expose China, WHO,. CDC and DNC

He is cutting the middle like Clinton did in his re-election... He knows the virus is a few deaths and mostly exaggerated lies, he is working with a long list of countries that are hurt by China to gather evidence to prove they released it on purpose to take over the world economy.

The next eight weeks will be rolling this out with attacks on china.. hence the Barr speech and acts on consulates that made them start to burn their docs..

all connected..

Follow what Trump says.. "masks are great when you can't social distance, I believe it is a choice, they can help.." he refuses to make them mandatory so the DS gov are trying to as well as the big box companies who also tied to DNC..

codesherpa 5 points ago +5 / -0

I wonder if masks are helping the overall economy, even if it turns out masks offer no real health benefits. People who would otherwise continue sheltering in place are going outside, shopping, going to restaurants, etc. You can't underestimate the psychology behind wearing a face covering. I've seen first hand many people acting as if it's some kind of magical bubble shield, when it reality it isn't doing much. Could the magical bubble shield be giving millions of people the nerve to go about their normal lives, stimulating the economy.

Masks

Don't

Work

We've got decades of research done on this. There should be experts in this field talking and pushing back. Outside the data, we've got countries like China that are full on mask at the early stages, didn't stop shit. Countries with high population wearing of masks, doing worse than those countries with high population of people who don't wear masks.

The particle size of COVID is too small, mask don't work.

Promoting masks just allows the left to say, "took him all the way until July to promote masks, killing thousands because of it". This is insane and no different than cowering to the leftist woke mob.

I worked the primary in June in PA. I wore a mask the entire day. We had a steady stream of voters from 7am to 8pm. I did not contract the virus. Never heard any voter saying they did either. We were told we could not deny anyone not wearing a mask their right to vote. I will work November 3, and wear a mask once again. People need to vote in person to make certain their vote counts. I hate masks, but will do it to help re-elect President Trump.

2
ryvrdrgn14 2 points ago +2 / -0

It's simple logic to further deflate the mail in ballot argument.

Going out with mask is safe; therefore it is safe to vote normally and there is no need for mail-in ballots.
