My work requires a mask, my state requires it for every indoor establishment.
I could quit, somehow do alright, move out of the state, find a non mask state and job that didn't require it.
But that is fantasy for a lot of people.
I could walk into every convenience store, cause a huge ruckus, make the poor people working behind a counter making $10 an hour uncomfortable, deal with that shit, and maybe at worst get the police called if it got that far, maybe if i'm lucky they would just let me buy my stupid coffee drink and have the store risk getting fined by the state if people complain.
Or maybe I could find a small mom and pop shop that don't give a fuck, i can deal with dirty looks from other customers and shit I get that with my MAGA gear in the past, a mom and pop shop that hasn't been destroyed by national/regional chains that care only about not getting sued or bad PR. Maybe those still exist around here, they're more and more rare.
Or maybe I can just wear the stupid fucking mask.
Some people are in financial situations, family situations, state government or job situations that don't make it as simple as "just take off the mask."
If and when it comes time to really take off the mask, I'll be ready to.
For now, where I'm at in time and place, I'll wear the stupid mask to get my coffee drink.
Kinda like when people say “my vote won’t count”, in my opinion, this is the same exact scenario where enough people say I’ll just wear it because I need to live or work and SO, companies get away with it. Where are the protests for this shit? Where are the strikes for this garbage?
Unlike the 20 year antifa trash protesting every night, most of us have to work for a living and don't have the luxury of drawing a line in the sand over this, right now. There's 50,000 bullshit lies about the Coronavirus and the mask is just one thing on top of it all.
Where are the protests? I don't know, I don't like them, but I'm not at the point where I'm going to march on Washington tomorrow over them either.
Oh so how do I protest? I complain about the masks every day to coworkers, family etc, complain about coronavirus and how its been a distorted narrative from the beginning, i tell anyone who will hear it how its been politicized and its only being used as a tool to attempt to hurt Trump at this point, thats what we all should do. Right now most people in the country aren't bitching about wearing the mask or don't mind it, give it another few months and maybe those feelings will change.
Do you part, posting here on the choir ain't doing shit and calling someone a coward or blaming people for not being active and (i don't mean you specifically, just in general) "just don't wear the mask pussy." Yeah that might be easy to do in Oklahoma, try getting away with that shit in a blue as fuck state and it'll do no good and just cause annoyance.
Alright Pede. It’s just my opinion. I respect yours, I just think when thousands if not millions of people think the same way this is how shit can go on and on and on.
I mean I don't disagree with that sentiment, but I get frustrated over the same thing but over what I feel is far more important issues. Media propaganda, tech censorship, but these types of things just don't organically appear without a breaking point. At least for the right. When the left does this shit there's money flowing through, its manufactured. The right doesn't have that.
I also agree it does cause us major problems and its ultimately how we lose ground all the time in the culture war, I don't have an answer. I don't really disagree to be honest, its just not like waving a magic obama wand either.

There are many Trump supporters that wear masks
We exist
