Read on Twitter
As I just reminded myself, I& #39;d like to remind everybody else that the right wing establishment and punditry has been trying to demonize AND weaponize mask wearing for the last 4 years.
So naturally people will be reluctant even with the CDC guidance and may still look at you funny. WEAR THE FUCKING MASK ANYWAY
What I mean by my first tweet in this thread btw, which I planned on detailing a little bit when I made the statement. Let& #39;s start here:

now">https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/an... obviously this is all demonizing wearing masks, or at least, making penalties a lot stiffer if you are even potentially in the vicinity of a crime while wearing one.

In">https://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/... 2004 a ruling occurred against an antimask law BECAUSE it targeted KKK people who sued and complained that & #39;wearing a hood& #39; isn& #39;t by itself a bad thing or some shit.

So yeah, they& #39;ve definitely both demonized and weaponized mask wearing for literally decades, and now everybody really NEEDS to be wearing masks.
