"President Trump has waved the white flag by wearing a black mask to ward off the coronavirus — and it’s fitting that even in defeat, he makes himself out to be a hero: “Looked like the Lone Ranger,” he told Fox Business on Wednesday about his own experience donning a face covering. The analogy suggests Trump needs a lesson in mask-placement protocol. But still, the guy who instigated an incomprehensible cross-aisle clash over the utility of a piece of cloth now says he’s “all for masks” indoors where distancing isn’t possible. So what gives? The right-wing retreat suggests there’s only so much reality-warping this administration can get away with. The president’s concession to basic science came after a cascade of allies offered olive branches of their own, following weeks of scoffing at the need for CDC compliance. Some semi-moderates had long been subtly urging mask use, so it was hardly a shock when Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) cued in a chorus of blunter language with the declaration, “Everyone should just wear a damn mask.” What followed, however, was more surprising. “We must have no stigma, none,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) exhorted on the chamber’s floor earlier this week, pushing his caucus to fall in line." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/02/how-trump-lost-mask-wars/?itid=lk_inline_manual_15As I've posted countless times: "You can't gaslight a pandemic. You can't bully it, berate it, belittle it. You can't force it, tantrum it, rage tweet it. Viruses gonna virus." You wanna play pretend with reality? That's fine. Reality's still there. Being real.

Yeah. Coronavirus doesn’t care what your political affiliation is. And if one chooses to act in an unsafe manner, it will infect you even if you are right or left-wing. Wearing MAGA gear doesn’t protect you or those around you, unless it is a MAGA mask.
