35. I've seen several MAGA masks and did not say a word.

But if I see someone with a Nazi mask I’m calling them out. Probably say if my uncle who flew in bombers was here and still alive at, what 96, he would still try to kick their asses. And tell them if they wore them in 46 they might be killed when the greatest generation was in its prime. I certainly have now deceased relatives that would have shot them dead in 46 or 47. And in that part of Arkansas no jury would have convicted them.

All that said, they have the right to wear them. I suspect they are either unemployed or soon will be.
