It's a sad commentary that the issue of mask wearing is now partisan. Why it's considered bad by Republicans and others in the Red camp is amazing, in and of itself. That it's considered an affront to the Orange One and a sign of true bravado is a level of cult fanaticism that's new to me. I guess it goes with drinking bleach.
Yes. I don't get things like shooting workers who refuse people service for not honoring social distancing, or even pushing park rangers in a lake for reminding people to honor distancing rules. They are starting to get militant about it.
To be totally blunt about it, I'm equally worried that aggressive activism may arise on the left to match the activism on the right. Antifa is still out there, but quiet at the moment. What happens if this becomes confrontational, and the Trump Justice Department, not noted for its sense of legal balance, decides to only prosecute the Antifa crowd? What happens after that?
Scary.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
