(32 posts)So.. they don't believe in science.
So.. They believe the entire world, all normal news sources both nationally and internationally are fake news doing it just to get 45.
So.. they don't believe face masks help at all.
So.. what do they actually care about? Wall street, oil and gas markets, and their own jobs/financial security, and getting their fascist nationalist leader reelected.
45 is an incumbent, and they tend to win, especially if the economy is good.
What can make the economy improve? People going out again, and spending their own $$ on things.
What can make people go out again, and spend their own $$ on things? Feeling safer to do so.
What can make people feel safer to do so? Seeing everyone else wearing the masks wherever they do go to spend $$.
Their own movement to fight face mask and social distancing requirements is the ONE thing that they COULD control to serve their own selfish self-interests and political goals.
I do admit being fairly disingenuous when I use this argument with them, but I have found that it does sink in with some of them. First thing I've found that gets through those damn cold thick heartless skulls.
