    So your response is illiteracy? :lol:

    You already got your answer. Apply your madd reading comprehension skills.

    Wrong.

    Again, did you not watch the video in the Opening Post? This is what, the third time I've had to ask you this?

    Seriously, answer the question - did you watch it or not?

    But, of course, I already gave you the answer to your question. In fact, as I pointed out earlier, you shouldn't have had to ask it, which is your own fault:

    Do you really think you're bring clever insulting your own intelligence?

    Not at all, which brings us back to the fact you had to resort to deceptively editing my post instead of responding to it in full. Are you starting to wish I hadn't repeated that?

    You should, because that was a regrettable bit of dishonesty on your part, and not surprisingly we find that

    1) You just did it again

    2) You don't have an answer to my question

    Stop wasting my time with your little games. The only person you're fooling is yourself.

    You didn't. If you had you would have simply given the answer here without so much trash. Here is the question again.

    You: Another is the political position promoted primarily by Democratic loyalists that everyone must wear a mask, even when it is unnecessary to do so.

    Me: Show
    anybody who promotes wearing a mask when it's unnecessary to do so. Start by explaining when "unnecessary to do so" is. And then show somebody promoting it.

    This means provide a link of somebody promoting wearing a mask when it's unnecessary, a quote, with a link... something!

    Or just admit you misspoke and be done with it.

    Go!

    This is hilarious. In an effort to avoid answering a simple request to support your statement, you end up insulting yourself. Look! This is a copy paste from your own post:

    They don't care, at all, about being hypocrites. They have entire armies of fellow hypocrites.

    It's yet another classic example of authoritarians getting upset when people won't comply with their agenda and obey their commands.

    "... because the narrative among the blindest Trump loyalists is that, to support Trump, they need to convince people to not wear masks."

    Source?

    I don't understand it. Everyone on the forum knows that they're making stuff up, yet they keep doing it. It doesn't make any sense.

    The Governor of Virginia, Ralph "Coonman" Northam (D-VA), was over his mask order before he even issued it. :lol:

    And you didn't see the Mask Gestapo rounding-up violators at the recent Social Justice Riots in Richmond where he lives, either.

    Funny dat...

    I can try that, Covid is a good deal more contagious than the flu.

    I am surprised a few of the usual suspects have not brought this up in their hourly "wear your mask" rants.

    Coonman is the gift that keeps on giving, and that photo exposes his fraudulence and hypocrisy on so many levels.

    It's so hilarious I have to wonder if that woman was a Republican plant. :lol:

    I understand all the voting power is located in a couple of cities but they have to get that asshat out of office. He and that witch in MI are two of a kind.
    Any hope?

    If it's more contagious, it's because it's new, with no built in herd immunity to it yet; but the flu is likely more virulent. In the US alone, about 40,000 die each year from the flu. Were their deaths any less important than the covid deaths of this year? Or is mask wearing just a woke political stunt designed to further derail the US economy and the president.

    Did you know that even WHO doesn't recommend masks, other than for those in the healthcare industry?

    We know how to treat the flu. The number of people who die from the flu is huge in our country because we don't have, like all other industrialized nations in the world have (and many third-world nations), a universal healthcare system.

    What we should strive for in treating Covid 19 is not to be as lousy as we are treating the flu

    Not true!

    How will wearing masks "derail" the US economy?

    I have never refused to answer "a simple question"... or even a complex one. If I know the answer. In fact, I don't mind repeating my answer as many times as you want. You asked for an example of trumpists convincing others not to wear a mask. Well... the OP is a clear example. What else do you want me to do? Explain the OP to you?

    I would have hoped everybody understood it. But if you didn't... Uhmmm Let's see. On the OP, the efforts of the reporter to get people to wear masks is tagged "self-important elite snobbery and hypocrisy." Do you think that label would make people more or less likely to wear a mask?

    I'll answer it for you so you don't struggle: less! And that's the purpose of the article. In order to justify that Trump, in all his stupidity, refuses to wear a mask, they feel they must convince his supporters to not wear one in solidarity. So they will use words like "self-important elite snobbery and hypocrisy" to describe anybody who does promote its use.

    Got it now?

    You said it was a simple question. It's actually a simple matter. But when you have to explain it to people who are unable to understand simple matters, explaining it becomes a task. However, I've taken the time to do it as a social service. Free of charge. A thank you on your part will suffice.

    Masks are not important. Neither is social distancing. It's a myth.

    Don't tell me.... And you know this because an orange deity that appears in your dreams told you... right?

    I knew it! See? It can't be a coincidence if so many people experience the same dream!
