This is the way I think we should have framed the mask vs no mask BS

Fauci, Biden, those with a national voice should point to how the military will send in ten soldiers into a very dangerous situation to save one person and yet some are complaining about wearing a mask for 30 minutes at the grocery store to possibly prevent loss of life? The patriotic thing to do is for us to look after one another even if it means a tiny bit of sacrifice and wearing a mask is nothing like heading into deadly gunfire to save a fellow citizen.

We should have framed it as a patriotic civic duty. It instead turned into a stupid freedom vs repression debate. What happened to all the freedom isn't free people?

THERE WAS NOTHING, AND THERE IS STILL NOTHING, THAT WOULD HAVE HAD AN IMPACT.

There are too many Pieces Of Shit in this country that claims to be the greatest country in the world. Most PATHETIC country in the world is more like it.

Honestly I cannot believe what half this country has devolved into,,,, I did not see this coming,,,, I do believe that President Biden is trying, is working on it. But these folks are so far gone.

MAGA masks would have been a big hit. Instead, he made mask wearing unpatriotic, weak, socialistic, and worse.
