If you aren't willing to risk a minimal fine to defend your rights, you can't claim to be ready for the real fight that is coming.
This is an escalation process. We don't just go from silent majority to 1776. We must progress through the steps and inspire the will to fight in those around us before they will wake up.
Might I suggest a fund created to help pay fines for violations?
Edit: to be clear, I'm not anti-mask. I'm anti-mandate. If you are symptomatic then you should be wearing a mask to prevent transmission.
To some extent I believe old people should do this during flu season or anyone who wants to take less chances getting sick.
It's dumb but I needed to get some stuff from there, I wear the same mask for 10 hours a day (work in a medical facility) and went there on my break
I'm not anti-mask, just anti-mandate. I've spent many years working in OR's and ICU's and I know there are appropriate times to wear one. But unless it is N95 it won't protect you as a preventative measure. If you are high risk you should really just avoid contact with anyone showing signs of illness or limit going into public places when possible.
The only time that wearing a mask makes any real sense is when you are actively sick and showing symptoms. For example, I had a cold a few weeks ago and so I wore a mask to prevent spreading the illness. That is okay with me. But forcing this mandate on us is a serious erosion of our liberties and causing irreversible psychological harm to our nation.
