Related: About this forumPoll Shows Pro COVID Governors Are Tanking Their Own Party - Ring of Fire
The latest polling shows that a majority of Americans are AGAINST bans on mask mandates in their states, even though Republican governors are working overtime to make sure that no city or school district can mandate these protections. This could easily come back to bite these Republicans, and it should. The number of daily COVID cases is rising throughout the country, with the South (controlled almost solidly by Republicans) seeing the strongest surges. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

One wouldn't think people would be too happy with the no mask stance.
But "think" is likely the operative in that sentence.

Let the Republicans take over the governorships and let the people see just how bad their leadership is to everyone's well-being.
Bravo!
