So you’re saying that Covid policies were specifically designed to hurt Trump politically? Can you give some examples?

And the left took the bait.

The notion that anyone, let a lone him, could shutdown a global viral infection is insane.

I, for one, can’t wait until masks truly become a thing of the past. It’s been an absolute nightmare for my partially deaf daughter who utilizes lip reading as a coping mechanism.

In the beginning, they were a useful tool in our attempt to minimize risk. They started to become political in the US when Fauci said 'don't wear them', then 'wear them', then don't wear them', and now 'wear only this specific kind - and maybe with cloth on top'. And all that flip-flopping was going on while evidence existed - from prior to the pandemic - that cloth masks are not effective, yet we were, in many cases, being forced to wear them anyway.

Now it's time to let them go, especially for our kids. The Op Ed I linked to is nicely written and explains better than I could why it's time. If the Covid fearful continue to push masking at this point, the polarization will only get worse.

So Fauci made them political? This makes 0 sense. Fauci may be a fool, but saying he is the reason it became politicized is not true. Try again.

And yes, I agree at this point masks should be optional. Most people that I know, regardless of political affiliation, are over it.

Not specifically the DNC, but the global elite (Soros, Rothchilds, etc.). And not just to hurt Trump (although it was very convenient), it was to bring about the great reset.

As long as governmental higher-ups, including Biden, continue to wear
and push masks...most liberals will follow suit.

As long as those liberals keep it to themselves, all will be well.

I don't give a flying rat's ass what you wear over your nose and mouth. But leave me the hell alone. And no, that's not a suggestion.

Wearing masks has little to do eith how the politics were portrayed.

No, I'm suggesting they took a health crisis and used it as a political bludgeon.

But both of y'all know that. You're just trying to distract from the point.

Many other countries aren’t masking kids. The US has the strictest policy for masking kids in the world
