It's not political to me. If masks actually worked and the governments who are mandating actually passed legislation to create law, it might be more palatable. I wear a mask in public simply because the county has mandated it and asked police to enforce. I do not want police wasting time with this as we have enough real crime issues to deal with.It's just funny how we have politicized masks. It's nuts. Unmarked federal officers are kidnapping protesters in Portland yet we're screaming "liberty" when it comes to masks.
As for Portland, move to something other than CNN every once in a while. It might give you a different perspective.
