If trumpies think freedom means we don't have to wear masks, what about pants?

Are they all nudists now?

If they're gonna insist the government or a store can't require a mask in the name of saving lives, on what grounds could they possibly require people to wear pants? Underwear? Anything?

Of course they'd be horrified and call the police if they saw anyone in public even half-naked.

The anti-maskers can't think an issue through more than half a second.

So that’s terrible.
If you dont wear a mask someone may get sick and die so that’s fine.

I was asking "why do we wear clothes in polite society?"
And answering "to respect others' sensitivity, not expose them to nakedness they don't care to see, and to be considerate, polite, not offensive."

So wearing masks is, should be, will become a social norm, like clothes in public. To be considerate and not expose others. At least I hope so. These thoughts started when I saw a new sign on a favorite bakery, that said:
"No Shoes, No Shirt, No Mask, No Service"

Personally, I am offended when people don't wear masks,. I have gone to many nude beaches in my younger days, but not for decades. I actually told someone I didn't know (who was complaining about wearing a mask) that if I was a nudest, preferring to be naked, I'd wear clothes in public to be considerate and not offend. And I expected people to wear masks in public for the same reason!

I''d love to see a protest of naked people wearing masks. I might even participate. Lol
