Brought to you by my discovery that some people think that “the customer is always right” isn’t the slogan of a long-dead department store, but rather it’s an actual call the cops law.

I think the logic goes something like this…

Masks are annoying and a hassle and everyone hates them.

But you also hate democrats and every major or minor inconvenience in your life is always their fault.

Since wearing a mask is something one might choose or not choose to do, it is therefore a choice issue and therefore a freedom issue, which is guaranteed to you by the constitution. And hence it’s a political issue.

Very simple.
