And it is the red states where people are in fact not wearing masks. One's politics don't matter in NY because everyone has to wear a mask to function. One's politics apparently don't matter in Florida, according to you, because the prevailing laws are anti-mask, as encouraged by cantalope man."
But where you are wrong, it is not just red states where people are not wearing a mask. Blue states also. I saw live video today of NYC, where I counted 10 persons on the street not wearing a mask. But if you use your criteria that a red state such as Florida, that persons not wearing a mask is a Republican and only a Republican, how do you explain my local Walmart? We are talking Walmart here. Not really a haven for practicing Republicans. If I am telling you that only 10% of customers are wearing a mask and the other 90% who are not, are Republican voters, I yell bull. This Walmart, in this area of town, the majority of customers are in fact Democrat voters. They are not wearing a mask because they are selfish, ignorant and don't want anyone telling them what to do. Your theory that red states don't wear masks to support Trump and blue states wear masks to stick it to Trump is just a generalization. BTW, we don't have anti mask laws. And our Governor who is Republican, spoke today about the importance of wearing a mask, everytime you go outside. Kind of deflates the Red Vs Blue theory.
