My wife sent this one to me. I've seen this very evident with people I talk to (family and non-family). 170k+ is nothing, yet I guess. I wonder what the driving force is behind this...
Really disheartening and discouraging when even my own family is downplaying this, advocating for things and events that could really backfire. Guess they won't take it seriously until there is a death.

Would be nice if it wasn't left vs right and we all just wore the mask for everyone's benefit. I'm in a high risk group and live in a rural area where many reuse to wear it so I'm essentially house arresting myself, I haven't had an outside meal in 5 months now.Disclaimer: I'm a conservative.
I'm one of two (that I know) on the right side of the fence that is pushing mask wearing and treating this virus seriously. Most everyone I know (who are conservative), even those I consider smarter than myself, are anti-mask and think this whole thing is an overblown joke. I happen to know several independents who take this virus even more seriously than I do.

Very scary.
It's funny though, in San Francisco everyone is wearing them and they have less cases than we do in the valley as a result. It's my hope that we get an effective vaccine and enough people to take it so we can put this behind us.
I just got back from the grocery store. While I was there, I noticed around half the people are wearing masks. Among those who are, about half of them have their noses sticking out.
That’s really disappointing.

I guess it's not that big of a deal, since my county has only had 100 cases, and 11 deaths from it. It's easy to take it for granted, especially since no one's really taken it seriously around here.
If it makes you feel better, things haven't been about liberals vs. conservatives for about 3 and a half years now. Sure, we have some people who refer to themselves as liberals, and others who refer to themselves as conservatives, but it's an entirely new game, with all new players.
The stuff I see ... I complained often on MR about what I saw and what I keep seeing.
To be honest, I am also fairly disturbed that now all face coverings are considered a "mask". While I agree that a bandana is better than nothing, I have serious issues in calling it a "mask".
Interesting article about tribalism in politics today.

Yeah, I think these dipoles are mostly nonsensical at this point. Biden isn't a liberal and Trump isn't a conservative, but yet they're representing those two wings? Trump is an egomaniacal fascist, while Biden's largely a central-leaning corporatist. It's how we have Bush-era intelligence officers stumping for Biden, while Trump's wing is gun nuts, white supremacists, and evangelicals.
If someone classifies Biden as an ultra-left liberal, I will probably immediately classify them as a dishonest person. It's a completely ridiculous notion. It's like they just needed to reach a consensus on what attack ads to run and so they went with this, figuring that their base will buy anything.
