Politics and mask wearing

The concept is simple. Is there a correlation between political belief and wearing a mask or face covering during this pandemic?

Imagine believing the media's fear mongering over a flu. Lol. Sure, the flu sucks and can kill you, but that's life.
Grow up kiss, get back to work and wash ypur hands and cover your mouth when you sneeze. Gawd.

No
Regardless of any political beliefs. I think it would be common sense someone should understand that covering their face with a mask in public areas will help stop the spread of a highly contagious virus
I wear a mask to protect you. When you don't wear a mask, I feel like you're telling me you don't give a shit about me or anyone. I want to punch people that don't wear a mask in public, whether they're politically left or right.

Shrodinger's Covid.
One does not know if one needs a mask or not until one finds out if an event is on the political left or right.
Political left wants to riot in the street in the thousands? Mask: optional. Covid isn't really a problem.
Trump rally? Holy shit, stop spreading the covid!
This is the SAME website. Fuck these hypocrites. I can't trust anyone, therefore I'm not wearing a muzzle.

I'm not going to muzzle myself because you're stupid. Grow up and take responsibility for your own health.

Well I hope you don't catch the covid, but if you do I hope you're symptomatic, debilitated beyond the point of walking, to weak to visit your viral shedding presence on others.

I'm seeing idiots who won't wear masks from both ends of the political spectrum, but I'm only seeing political leaders from the supposedly conservative side of the spectrum getting ahead of the stupid and leading the maskless rangers on their barefaced freedom rampage.

There was someone in a Facebook group I’m a member of that posted in April that he absolutely wouldn’t wear a mask. He’s dead now, he was 37.

I choose quality of life over quantity of days lived, lest I should be a coward who lives a fearful, meaningless and mundane existence, being everyone's bitch and polluting the environment.

I think it takes more courage to forgo wearing a mask for the sake of personal liberty and brave the social ramifications than it does to conform and be complicit in the degradation of America, but that's just me.

Lol, wearing a mask degrades America? That's got to be easily the dumbest thing I've read today.

I value the freedom part of it, and I see mandating healthy people wear a mask to prevent compromised people from catching an illness as a major loss. It's actually not very difficult to understand.

So, you're against DUI laws? Seatbelt laws? Laws mandating safety equipment on vehicles? Speed limits? Every law is about balancing the freedom of various citizens. Society is based on everyone giving up some freedom in order to coexist peacefully.
Frankly, I don't think you've thought your position through at all.

I tolerate the laws you mentioned but I think mandating face masks for healthy people in public is an overreach because it gives legitimacy to the government's role as a controller of our health and if that's acceptable, then there isn't much power they don't have over us and I don't trust them with that power.
I am not that invested in this fight because I know that the cookie crumbles in favor of tyrants when governments go south, but I'm a strong young man with skills, so when the representative of the tyranny told me to wear a mask, it was a big f u. And there's little he can do about it.
I'm glad however that progress is being made in the subduing of these swine, though, because they do pollute a bunch and their culture sucks and they're stupid, so I rejoice with you that the tyrants are winning, but they don't win well next to me.

Conservatives: the government should never mandate laws that control the health of its citizens
Also conservatives: marijuana should stay illegal, abortion should be outlawed even in rape cases, gut the ADA, etc.
A mask is not tyranny. Police acting as judge, jury, and executioner with 0 ramifications is ACTUAL tyranny.
Why do conservatives not care when real tyranny stares them in the face but the idea of a mask is oh muh god ma freedums!

Because conservatives are uneducated and still believe disease is the work of evil spirits. I heard some genius say covid is a flu just today.
