Ida know, I had a bit of a dialog with small town right-wing folks about this and they basically concluded that when the government tells you to wear a mask it is your patriotic duty to disobey, but when the government asks you to stop what you are doing and risk your life and sanity in a foreign war it is your patriotic duty to shut up and march.

So if the government tells you to get a covid vaccine and wear a mask you tell them hell no but if the army tells you to get 100 vaccines and wear a gas mask you say hell yes.


I still don't see how people can say Trump is a good businessman when he had the chance to declare covid a Chinese attack and sell MAGA masks in boxes of 100 to 75 million Americans.  The guy had the chance to legally mandate and patriotically compel people to buy stuff from him.
