    I’ve always wondered why certain anti-mask folk hate *other people* wearing them so much they rage out when it doesn’t affect them at all I think they hate that people can suddenly tell they’re hateful souls without empathy who probably voted for this just by looking at them.

        Masks tell on you now, & they hate that. They want to keep doing their awful deeds & believing their insane conspiracies & voting for horror while blending in with everyone else. Getting the stink eye on the street in blue cities because everyone can tell who you are sucks.

        Just not wearing a mask makes you an asshole, but if you’re furious that *others* wear them, it’s not about freedom. Something else is going on I used to think they want to believe things are normal, but now I just think they’re mad they can’t blend in with their victims anymore

        Sure, not all the people who lose their minds if *someone else* wears a mask are Trumpers. Some of them are just anti-vaxx conspiracy addicts who have crystals in their pants to ward off Bill Gates. They don’t like not being able to think they’re the normal ones either.

        And maybe, just maybe, because Trump turned masks into a political issue, in many (though obviously not all, 79% support masks) parts of the country, some folks are facing very strong visual evidence that they’re not the majority they were told they were. That can’t be borne.

        There’s a whole lot of conservative white men who, because they won’t wear masks, are experiencing for the 1st time people avoiding them on the street & staring like they’re doing something wrong just by existing in public. They can’t bear it for a second—that stare is THEIR job.

        They have been outed. They are angry at the social pressure.

        And a large part of the intensity of their response is due to how they know *they* exert social pressure; brutally. They're expecting to be treated that way.

        same reason people get angry at vegans and people that don't have televisions makes you look bad in comparison

        Yeah, I love it when people criticize vegans. Even better is when carnivores are disgusted by the type of meat other carnivores eat. It’s all meat. Be like a vegan getting mad at another vegan for eating squash instead of tomatoes.

        I think these videos also help understanding that rage (but yes, you are right):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y8XgGhXkTQ&list=PLJA_jUddXvY62dhVThbeegLPpvQlR4CjF …
