To all you blue-staters still double-masked-up in your vehicles, driving alone, try peeking over the dystopian, fear-created & #39;fence& #39; your overlords have placed you behind and you might see that things aren& #39;t quite the way you& #39;ve been told.

THREAD:

For months (some longer, some shorter), those of us in & #39;free& #39; states and localities - the other side of dystopia - have been living life in ways that at least approaches, if not meets, normality.

We& #39;ve been:

* going to church in large, often maskless, non-socially distanced crowds

* eating in restaurants, maskless (some play the mask-dance on the way to the table, some don& #39;t)

* attending sporting events - some masked and some not (makes no difference)

* sending our children to school, some of which (gasp!) make masks optional and not mandatory (with no more spread than masked-up counterparts)

* allowing people to make a choice whether to don a mask outside and even (in many places) inside buildings

And to beat it all, our COVID numbers aren& #39;t any worse, and are often better, than those in your state. So let us be your canary in the coal mine. We& #39;ve been doing it for nearly the past year anyway!

Life is just better here, on the other side of dystopia. Why don& #39;t you join us?
