There was a little town next to where i work, and every year they have a "funny" theme. That year it was global warming, and they set up some mannequins that wore winter clothing, but also scuba gear. They were alse wearing masks, because it was middle of covid.
Even if i was just driving by or just stopped shortly there, i saw on multiple occasions how people ripped the masks of the mannequins angrily and threw it on the ground. Masks somehow are very offensive to people.
God. I still think had Trump just said, "Listen to Dr. Fauci" and printed up a billion "Trump 2020" masks, he would have been elected again in a landslide. And we probably would have had far fewer dead people, too.
Edit to clarify: I don't like him at all. He's an idiot, an asshole, a racist, and a bunch of other things. I'm just saying he had an easy path to reelection but his ego couldn't handle it.
Somewhere deep down they know that they were wrong and that those death numbers are partly on them. Many of them knew people who died and are likely the potential connection in the chain that killed them.
Rather than realize they were wrong and try to make up for it they turn incredibly hateful towards it in extreme denial. If they admit masks work then they admit they killed their friends and family for nothing
