It goes back to my previous statement about how respect goes both ways. You don't seem to understand that. It's not enough for you to simply wear a mask. You want to mandate it for everyone.
Blue states are the ones either with or threatening unnecessary and damaging covid mandates, while red states have moved on. I'm trying to point out the differences, and show that normalcy is possible. Not new normal, or normal*, but normal, as in the same way we lived in 2019.
You want to force others to fundamentally change how they live to conform to your risk tolerance, so I wouldn't point fingers. It's not all about you.
