I don't want to wear a mask because I don't want to look like a democrat

A doctor on MSNBC told the story of one of her colleague's struggles to get her at risk 80 year old mother to wear a mask.

Her colleague's mother said she will not wear a mask because trump does not wear one and she does not want to look like a democrat.

Why can't a mask jut be a mask?

It's a sign of at least reasonably good sense and responsibility in the face of epidemic disease, and that's about all you can attach to it.

If this woman does not want to look like a Democrat, she should:

A) never be seen with a book.
B) Never eat a meal at home, or outdoors.
C) routinely fire up her gas-guzzling terrestrial battleship to travel to and from her own mailbox.
D) get a tattoo of Trump’s mug on her forehead.

I watched an interview with someone that worked in public health and she said they were getting death threats. She said, she'd never seen anything like it. She's worked in public health for many years and they've issued many warnings, and there has never been a response like this. She said, when there's something wrong with the drinking water and they issue a boil water alert, no one questions if they should boil the water or not. Its just bizarre.
