Was talking to a friend about wearing masks and they made the point that they “wish it would have become the norm instead of a side of a political battle.”
Making it political is just trying to explain away indifference to the moral and ethical implications of giving up.
It wasn’t liberal vs conservative, liberals were just as eager to go mask off as soon as possible regardless of the actual situation.
I disagree. I experienced it as politically charged as far as trump fans vs mask wearers. it was majority Rs that battled mask mandates and majority Ds that rolled out sufficient protective rules. nowhere there was liberalism a factor, other than a constant target of ridicule for conservatives and or trump fans. but the masks and mandates were politically divided in the U.S.
