Masks confirm their suspicions and conspiracy theories.

More and more people are losing it, and in some cases, resorting to violence, because they do not want to wear a mask. They are confused and angry that someone asks them to do something to protect the health of their fellow citizens.

Why is that?

It doesn't fit the conspiracy theories they live and breathe every day. They are confused that so many people, mostly liberals, challenge their belief system with facts about life and death.

It's not supposed to be that complicated. Their Leader, and the right-wing media, tell them something totally different from what the doctors and experts tell them? It makes them angry.

So they explode in public with embarrassing rants and threats because they do not want to wear a mask. Some are losing their jobs, as they are recorded in their childish behaviors.

They care more about their political positions than the lives of their fellow man.

And it is getting worse.

#2 Failure to accept reality is NOT fake news. It's called Denialism. It's a psychological condition. It's time to call them out for their preposterous feigned outrage. In truth, they're sick.

for wearing a mask......Feel free to use...

"I am so sorry. I do not recall asking you for your opinion on this matter."

It stops people in their tracks as they spend energy trying to figure out what I just said as I walk away.

“I don’t think it’s quite that simple. Some people never observe anything, Life just happens to them. They get by on little more than a kind of dumb persistence, and they resist with anger and resentment anything that might lift them out of that false serenity.”

Frank Herbert, Heretics of Dune (Dune Chronicles #5)
