Today: "Fuck it. I'm not wearing a mask, and who are you to tell me that I can't get together with family for Thanksgiving?" "Actually, we're just suggesting it so we can get this virus under control." "Virus my ass. This is a trick by the libs and the mainstream media to control us." 

We are so off the rails as a country, Kevin.  Personally, I blame much of it on the pervasiveness of hate TV and hate radio.  These outlets push garbage theories and rile up and anger gullible folks.  Look at how many old folks have become slavishly allegiant to Fox News.  It's insanity.

This is literally my response when people talk about wearing masks...that during the war, there were rations, and nobody complained (or maybe they did, but who would hear them?).
