I wear masks in the airplane and in airports still, and in places like Utah or Texas, people get extremely passive aggressive towards me when I do. I have had flight attendants pretend not to hear me and get angry that I have my mask up, random elderly strangers tisk at me when they pass by, just so much general hassle and passive seething for something that has nothing to do with them. It’s terrifying how much people seem to hate me just for not wanting to get sick.
I lived in conservative California and we know my spouse’s veteran identifiers were the only reason we didn’t get hassled. Then we went back in a rental car and we were harassed by a small dick truck.
Thank god we live in the Bay Area now, masking is still common and I see it all the time.
I don’t understand what the fucking big deal is.
Oh right, your freedumbs
As someone with cystic fibrosis who has to fly to Texas in a few weeks...great.
I might just be unlucky tbh. I hope you’re experience traveling to Texas goes well!
Many thanks. Fortunately, I'll only be there for a day. Then straight back home to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Where lots of us still wear masks.
Yes I've heard people in conservative states will hassle you. I actually got yelled at for it on a bus last week by a guy in a Fuck Trudeau shirt, who I ignored. But the US conservatives are really scary people.
Ha! How weird for him to be so angry at Trudeau he bought a shirt 😂
They have giant flags they fly on their trucks too.
