GOP Guv. Tearfully Pleads Anti-Maskers To ‘Dial Up Your Empathy’ And End ‘Political’ Divide

If someone is wearing a mask, they’re not doing it to represent what political party they’re in or what candidates they support.

Too bad he’s a Republican.

Now, we have to go out and protest an oppressive government infringing on our freedoms. Right, conservatives?

You have to give him credit for trying.

Thank you.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who is also a doctor, has similarly declined to wear a facial covering, arguing that he has “immunity” because he’d already had the virus.

Regardless of whether contracting the virus really does confer some degree of immunity on him, he clearly doesn’t give two sh*ts as to shedding some of the virus to others. Means nothing to him, he’s done his time, screw everyone else.

But do we wake you up when he backtracks?

They will put him down as a RINO. He probably stopped really being a Republican when he got to this moment. He just hasn’t realized it yet.

You also had the rise of prairie populism and socialism in the teens and 20’s.
The state bank of North Dakota was created back then and has been an effective and revered institution for years. Just don’t remind the Trumper Senator Cramer of that fact.

I ran into one of these morons at the dog park. Conversation started out pleasant but quickly devolved when he went on a rant about masks, scientists, the media etc. What makes these people so awful?

Read this thread. It encapsulates the incompetence of Trump and his entire administration. Republicans who continue to enable this fuckery are as culpable as he is for every death of an American due to Covid. Trump is killing us.

Ok, Governor GOPer, I will stop being divisive as soon as you and your whole anti-science, anti-health party go fuck yourselves sky-high. #brotherhood

Ya gotta admit the hoax has worked much better than our Deep State comrades expected, oui? ; - )

This whole anti mask thing baffles me. A simple cloth mask is easy to make or cheap to acquire.

Do these same people protest long standing and enforced DUI laws, commercial trucking equipment standards (like no bald tires or required break checks) and winter mountain pass chain laws because it interferes with their freedom to put themselves at risk without regard to others?

It usually comes down to pure stupidity coupled with its usual ally, racism.

This plaque was installed at Trump’s insistence at one of his golf courses.

It’s as phony as trump is—no such battle took place.
Ever.

Yep — this wasn’t even some local legend or an honest error. Trump made it up out of thin air.
