Question:
Would your attitude about wearing a mask change if President Trump mandated wearing a mask to stop the virus?

To me a yes vote means wearing a mask is political and not about public safety.

And a no vote says you believe a wearing a mask has no public safety value.

Care to vote on this?

No. I only wear where absolutely forced. Otherwise I focus on other measures of safety.

The troubling thing about a mask mandate from any level of government and especially the federal government is that they think they can. If Biden thinks he can institute a federal mask mandate what else does he think he can do?

Can he even think period?

As opposed to reading what’s been written for him?

It depends on the capacity in which it is mandated. If it is anything like say Gavin Newsome’s completely batshit crazy ideas, like wearing a mask between bites of food or wearing a mask while outside then I absolutely have an issue with complying. I wouldn’t and would kindly to tell someone to F off if they challenged me with it. If there are actual things that make sense like wearing one in the grocery store or in a shopping mall I don’t have a problem. I honestly think showing actual data that shows how wearing a mask reduce the risk of infection and imploring people to be considerate of others would be much more effective than trying to create a mask mandate.

Trumpsters drawing the line of liberty, in all their self righteous glory, over a simple mask for health purposes.

Idiocy.

And you have no understanding of slippery slopes. The mask mandate is a precursor to the eventual defense for needing a mandated vaccine.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand he does care and will bend the knee willingly . Anyone living in a gated or HOA community is already programmed to be submissive and or take the fine then submit .

I have a feeling he will mandate it and find a way to withhold funding from states that don’t enforce it. Let’s not forget this slimeball was one of those behind the individual mandate for Obamacare which anyone with a brain knew was illegal.

Yep. Or he could mandate by executive order that certain critical professions or "essential workers" be mandated to get the vaccine.

I hear a whole lot of "I ain't gonna do" this or that right now from the right. But I am afraid that most of them will fold when it comes down to your job or taking the vaccine.

I dont understand why some people have this attitude. I've been wearing a mask at work and in public for months now. It's not a big deal. No they might not be 100% effective...but even if they are 30% effective, isn't it kind of a no brainer?

Do people think wearing masks make them less of a man or something. I seriously don't get it. You just sound ignorant to me.

If you have your mask on, why do you care if someone else does or doesn't?

Also, why haven't masks been a public health issue before now when we've had bird flu, swine flu, etc.?

And lastly, the idea is to stand your ground on this issue to prevent them from getting the necessary defense for mandating the vaccine.

A lot of people are worried it got hurried because Trump wanted a victory. Its going to take a lot of reassurance and seeing it work without side effects.

So if it comes out in March of next year under Biden, will that make people feel that it wasn't rushed?

How about July next year?

How about January 2022?

The point I'm making is that even if we don't get a true vaccine until March 2022 (24 months since the lockdowns began), that would still be too fast for most conventional vaccines to be tested and brought to market. Hell, do we have a vaccine for any of the other covid family of viruses yet? If so, how much time and research was placed on them before we got to a viable vacine?

They've already shown that they can shutdown "non-essential businesses", mandate masks and harvest votes.

I think they've shown enough.

Anyone that willingly lives in a neighborhood with an HOA deserves it.

I don’t think so. I think he has been keeping his powder dry this far. He will be expected to resist any Democrat idiocy and this mask mandate is the first shot across the bow of that idiocy. Abbott is the basic Texas politician and that is saying a lot. When I moved to Texas in 1988 I was shocked at the shady **** on both sides of the aisle in Texas politics but it’s a helluva freak show and fun to watch. Even classic Texas Democrats are a breed apart from the current mainstream DNC.

Oh. You moved here during the Ann Richards reign? I can only imagine what that must have been like.

2 years ago, I received a letter from the HOA, with a warning that I had left my garage door open, during a day when trash was not scheduled for pick up and my garbage can was visible in the garage. Not kidding. Total WTF moment.

I sent them an email with a short explanation, along with an attachment of my middle finger extended.

I did not receive a pleasant response.
