So is the Anti-Mask revolution over?

Is the terrorizing tactic du jour of the Re-Putin-can party now protests? I'm not hearing much from the anti-maskers these days, as perhaps they or their family members are pre-occupied with recovery?

The anti-mask "movement" was so palpably ridiculous that thousands have paid with their lives/health.

And the "law and order" protests issue is equally idiotic: Trump, you are the INCUMBENT. You clearly fomented the issue, but even if you didn't, solely for the sake of argument, this happened on your watch. Your are the incumbent, not the challenger. Richard Nixon used this in 1968, but he was the challenger.

Obese Orangutan, what are you going to try next???

More and more individuals are ignoring the mandate - and many of the businesses that announced they would implement bans in their stores are now telling their employees they are not allowed to say a word to the increasing number of non-compliant individuals.

I'm busily reporting them all, both to the county health department and to the respective corporate customer service departments. It has gotten bad enough that the county where I live finally decided to impose a $100 per incident fine on businesses who refuse to enforce the order.

And, oh, there's a movement to impeach the Ohio governor because (among other things) he imposed a state-wide mask mandate.

So - it's getting worse again, not better.

The Dumpers at his recent rally in NH booed when asked to wear masks in accordance with the law, and they were even offered free masks when they entered.

Perhaps in my neck of the woods, I'm not hearing much about this these days. The anecdotal evidence as to why masks are so important is so overwhelming, I didn't think there was any momentum in this.

The fact that the Fat Infector-in-Chief capitulated on this has given me some modicum of hope.

That idiot, and her compadres, sure disappeared quickly after Trump supported them.

I don't think so.

That's the only thing that would make the anti-mask nonsense end.
