Nobody enjoys wearing masks, but most people do when asked to, whether just to follow the norm and not make trouble, or to protect oneself, or to be courteous to others.

It's not just political/Trumpian bullshit, because there are probably plenty of Republicans out there quietly wearing their masks (if only for self-protection).
