"Real men don't wear masks"

That is, evidently, a wingnut belief. (No mention of women. They do as they're told.)

To that far right wingnut belief, may I add: "Morons don't wear masks." And, as a liberal, I'm targeting that statement at both men and women.

Wouldn't look cool, and some may see it as a slight to Trump.

that is why I say it is patriotic. we are all in this together and everyone needs to be working together, which means wearing masks to limit the spread of covid-19.

the greatest generation would have worn masks.

Yeah, I know that's unfair. This public stupidity is the screeching of a minority. And, come November, we must all prove what a small minority they are. A blue tsunami will take care of that.

Have to wait for a cure.

No wait for a mask,
that may be more effective than either of the above.

Actually, it’s “medium”, “low”, and “topsoil”
It’s not that hard, people.

At least they advertise their selfish idiocy to the world. Maybe someone will care enough to put it on their gravestones. Here lies Kevin. He didn’t wear a mask. Now he’s dead. Fool.
