And moving somewhere may or may not help. The masking is everywhere and as soon as these governors are told to they will, once again, "mandate" them. The key is, and always has been, to STAND YOUR GROUND. Stop letting politicians and Karens tell you what to do. It's difficult, but I live in a so-called "red" state and when things were full bore around the country, all of the same things were implemented here as well. The difference? We kept telling them to F off. Courage doesn't magically happen by moving somewhere. Courage is a choice one makes where they are and in their circumstances. If we aren't brave where we are now, we won't be brave when we move somewhere else and the same policies are mandated. We must start standing our ground. Be willing to be inconvenienced. Be willing to get the dirty looks and the comments. Be willing to drive somewhere else, get black market food, grow our own, do without etc. Be willing to say no. Period.
The mask is my pet issue. As someone who wore them for over 30 years and was trained every year about the right kind to wear for what situation etc, it's been something that has stuck in my craw. But you know what? I said NO. I was willing to be fined or whatever it took to stand my ground. If we are still complying with this one we have no hope. Just don't wear it. If a business requires it, tell them you don't wear them and if they insist, just walk out after telling them you won't ever spend money there again. This is the *easiest* issue we have and people are willing to pack up and move for masks? We have to start being better than this if we are ever going to stop this stuff. Apologies for the rant.
I love your rant. Well said. If tomorrow, everyone just didn’t wear a mask, it’d be over. It really would. That is why I now get annoyed whenever I see folks wearing them.
