As I said: I understand why the Liberal wants to make this Trump's fault, just as I can understand the conservative trying to downplay it. At the end of the day we have one person to hold responsible for our safety and that of our family and it's not some orange-haired guy that resides in a big white house.
I strongly believe folks should mask when they cannot socially distance. My family and I have not visited with anyone outside of our pod for 4 months. We've not been to a restaurant, bar, or other social gathering. I haven't had a haircut in 4 months. We have a hand sanitation station set up at every entrance to our house.
I merely took issue with the assertion that folks who think the appointment of Supreme Court Justices is not as important as Donald Trump telling me I should wear a mask. I'm all grown up I can my my own choices.
Well, that is nice. I sure applaud you for being sensible about this. The problem is that your neighbour can attend a Trump rally and then cough in your family's face and also say "I'm also all grown up, I can do as I please, and Trump made the case that it's all overblown and no big deal and masks are an embarrassment and infringe on my freedom - what a liberal media hoax that whole corona fear is".
And while I hope you and your family are safe, that is exactly what is happening on a larger scale and that's a big reason why your covid curve is so abysmal and comes with such a dramatic death toll.
And it sure has a lot to do with Donald Trump and all the leadership failures he displayed.
