using culture wars to sell stuff to a certain demographic of the sheeple:

Can you imagine the US headlines if this happened in another country? “Shops around the US make headlines for denying entry to those wearing masks as protesters argue against preventative measures in the name of freedom”https://t.co/P4RdcMF5Gs

The idea that mask wearing is some liberal culture-war demand is being pushed by a lot of people who know better and are just being utterly cynical https://t.co/P8F6XNAdEp

People are attacking Joe Biden for wearing a mask today and claiming “he was around nobody except his wife.” https://t.co/IXf1IPOk48

There’s no shame in wearing a mask as an over-abundance of caution. Some people look pretty damn cool wearing one.

Example: The president of Slovakia. pic.twitter.com/qSwlRe1ZoZ

Fox News knows the anti-mask crew is just a small buncha trolls, and yet they persist in riling em up:

72 percent of respondents to this week’s Fox News poll say they wear masks most or all the time they are out of the house. https://t.co/TKFNKJNY8X

All culture wars all the time with a little news mixed in! Makes me curious what the demographics are that they sell to advertisers now....

Hmmm, note the use of quotes in this prediction from a highly respected old political operative:

There is going to be violence over the “issue” of wearing masks at the Republican convention. Call me Kreskin.

Easy end to discussion; not much food for trolls:

Wear a mask.
