From all the things to make political why mask? Is taking care of your health a leftist move
Caring about other people is leftist and woke, and no god fearing american patriot would ever give a fuck about another person, ever! Thats communism! /s
Honestly I think some of this stuff is a way to filter out people with critical thinking skills the same way scam emails are often deliberately spelled wrong to filter out people who wouldn't have fallen for the scam to begin with.
I think the logic goes something like this…
Masks are annoying and a hassle and everyone hates them.
But you also hate democrats and every major or minor inconvenience in your life is always their fault.
Since wearing a mask is something one might choose or not choose to do, it is therefore a choice issue and therefore a freedom issue, which is guaranteed to you by the constitution. And hence it’s a political issue.
Very simple.
Buddy I think you just cracked the code of why it's political
Also freedom of choice but only for this specific thing ONLY nothing else
