I was at a theme park yesterday and got harassed because my wife and I were wearing masks while waiting in line for rides. I have a kidney transplant and my wife had cancer in 2016 so we're both immunocompromised. Just whose fun are we ruining?
People who identify with bullies
There was a little town next to where i work, and every year they have a "funny" theme. That year it was global warming, and they set up some mannequins that wore winter clothing, but also scuba gear. They were alse wearing masks, because it was middle of covid.
Even if i was just driving by or just stopped shortly there, i saw on multiple occasions how people ripped the masks of the mannequins angrily and threw it on the ground. Masks somehow are very offensive to people.
God. I still think had Trump just said, "Listen to Dr. Fauci" and printed up a billion "Trump 2020" masks, he would have been elected again in a landslide. And we probably would have had far fewer dead people, too.
Edit to clarify: I don't like him at all. He's an idiot, an asshole, a racist, and a bunch of other things. I'm just saying he had an easy path to reelection but his ego couldn't handle it.
Antifa did nothing wrong.
Similar story with my wife. She had cancer and should not catch something as serious as Covid. So, everytime we are among a lot of people, ecpecially in places with bad ventilation, we wear masks.
I haven't kept count how many times we were talked to about that. The amount of conspiracy mythics among them was rather high. And not always were people polite.
This is really idiotic. As if even other diseases, which required such precautions, haven't existed before. Too many stupid people around.
It's amazing how the people who are expressing their freedom not to wear a mask get really offended by people who express their freedom by wearing a mask.
It's starting to make me think it's not about freedom...
I live in Canada. Maybe it's different in the small towns, but I've only had one person bitch at me for masking and that's because he has a brain injury largely. I can't imagine what the US is like.
