Wondering about "anti-maskers".

[Hockeycowboy]

Question: Are most of Trump’s supporters “anti-maskers”, following his example?

If that’s true, it seems to me that this very-serious-threat May eliminate his base by November. They’ll mostly be dead.

If I was being forced to go naked, I probably wouldn't like that very much. But wearing a mask, during the pandemic, is just being courteous.

Does it have to be either/or?

I thought I'd read wearing a mask turns out to be patriotic? Or was that yesterday?

I never said anything about forced nudity, so I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

I prefer the anti-drunk driving laws cuz of the danger posed to others.

That's the point of the mask; not to prevent the wearer from contracting it but to prevent the wearer from spreading it if they carry it unknowngly.

Wow broad brush and a straw man if I've ever seen one.

Back with a new puppet account already?

You got to add explanation. Without the support, I don't know what to get from this.

If you oppose mandated masks because you see it as tyrannical and anti-freedom, then you must also oppose mandated clothing becasue by the same logic it's also tyrannical and anti-freedom.
Unless you believe exposed breasts pose a greater danger to society than spreading a potentiality deadly disease, that is.

I guess this would apply to those who are anti-mask supporters?

From what I looked up, those are the reasons anti-mask supporters don't want to wear them is because of taking away their freedom, etc. It's sad but no use blaming other people over it.

By logic, those who oppose mask mandates because they consider them tyrannical and anti-freedom would also oppose anti-nudity laws that mandate clothing for the same reason. However, being conservative this same group would likely consider public nudity offensive, as if bare breast posed greater threat to society than a potentially fatal disease.
Thoughts?

I think it's wrong-headed to call out anti-maskers for hypocrisy, because - IMO - they aren't actually being hypocritical.

For them to be hypocritical, they'd have to actually hold the positions they claim to hold. They aren't hypocrites; they're just dishonest.

AFAICT, their actions are entirely consistent with another guiding principle: that they should say whatever they need to in order to avoid having to be inconvenienced for the sake of other people they see as worthless.

It’s both.

You said you guess it applied to anti-maskers, which is what this thread is about. Then you said it's no use blaming others, so I asked who's being blamed.

The longer the thread, the more I forget who said what:

You've made arbitrary and contradictory assertions while skirting the point entirely.

You got to add explanation. Without the support, I don't know what to get from this.

How does this apply to what I said?
