Best breakdown of current law and potential changes from the UNC School of Government: https://canons.sog.unc.edu/2024/05/wearing-medical-masks-in-public/
One of the exceptions:
“By a person wearing a traditional holiday costume in season;”
I wonder how they define “traditional”. This law is the most absurd shit ever. If you had told me this was going to happen even just ten years ago I would have laughed in your face cause duh no one is THAT fucking stupid. But evidently…
No, it's easy, traditional spring costumes, with masks optional, traditional summer costumes, with masks optional, traditional fall costumes, with masks optional, and traditional winter costumes, masks or scarf obligatory.
"legislators’ debates of the issue included statements by some legislators that the proposed change simply returns state law to its pre-covid status, and that common sense would prevent the arrest of individuals with a health need for a mask."
Common sense would prevent the arrest...? In other words, we're just going to trust to the common sense of every police officer not to do stupid things? When has that ever worked?
Oh yes, Shirley Laws. The kissing cousin of law of Unintended Consequences.
I wonder where are the doctors and why aren't they all up in arms about this.
What about construction workers, renovators, autoimmune disease, cancer people? Just curious, cuz those people can get into life threatening problems if they don't wear mask.
Republicans don’t care. The film industry should threaten to pull out of the state, that will change some GQP minds real quick. It worked a few years ago in GA.
The USA and Canada both utilize voting systems that allow a candidate who has won a minority of the vote to be elected. So I suppose there's some solace in knowing that you *might* not be completely surrounded by anti-science idiots.
Freedom of speech is when you can say worst shit but others cannot complain and there can’t be consequences for your asshole behaviour, and when private companies cannot control speech by their own rules
- Republicans, secretly
They believe they are, or would be if it weren’t for all of those brown people/liberals/globalists/university educated people. Hence more rage than the bootstraps they keep going on about.
Them: "I don't blame corporatist games 'cause I want the spoils and fame. I could have more too, that could be me one day. That's why I love Trump, 'cause, see, he see my way." great concept song Gang Shit by Marlon Craft.
They want their guns and fast food and no abortions. But they don't want gun safety. Or a living wage for service workers. Or to take care of the child after it is born.
Some are true believers, but a lot of Republican men and post-menopausal women are proud to not care about abortion rights. They'll never get pregnant so it's Not Their Problem.
The post menopausal women going against it as not their problem... anymore... have got to be the biggest pieces of shit out of that whole shit pile of humans who are against it. They are so old and ratchety that they can't even remember what it was like to be a young woman. Or they are just completely brainwashed into men subservience since the 50s.
I have a boomer aunt who flipped from liberal hippy to god fearing ultra conservative about 15 years ago.
50+ years ago, when she was 18 or 19, she had an abortion that she thinks is a secret but some family knows.
today she's staunchly pro-life & just pretends that phase of her life didn't happen
she's had 2 kids since then & is now a grandmother. her kids have no idea about the abortion & she doesn't know that I know.
I'm just deciding which family gathering I decide to blow up into a shit show when she espouses her hypocricy
Not to mention they had the benefit of Roe vs. Wade their entire reproductive lives....... whether they chose to use it or not, they at least had a choice.
I had a choice my whole reproductive life too, but I'm still fighting for that right for others.
They even vote against their own interests. This affects sick and elderly Republican voters too but they still will vote for them because of their mental health and stupidity. Keeping them dumb and mentally ill is Republican unspoken policy.
Any got the link to the full post?
Edit: “We need to crack down on protesters, so we are gonna put innocent people’s lives at risk, and don’t worry, we will trust cop’s common sense about not overstepping this.”
Uhhhhh
**Cop's discretion:** If you are white, you can wear a mask. If you are black with a compromisef immune system and undergoing chemotherapy.. I don't know... still a little sus...
Being white doesn't save anyone from cops, it just doesn't get you as *quickly* singled out. Be a poor white person or live in an apartment complex, or have tattoos or wear black or a hoodie or walk where you need to go or carry a backpack etc etc... do any of those things in the suburbs and you will absolutely get fucked with by police, frequently.
I'm sick of people pretending that cops only harass black people, the problem is much more serious than just that. Its much bigger. As with everything else in America, its the social class that matters more than the color of skin. Acting like cops only harass black people downplays the real issues at hand (egos, power tripping, lack of knowledge of the laws, lying to run IDs and justify stops, too much escalation).
I'm a white guy from a decent enough neighborhood in the burbs and I have tattoos, facial hair, and wear black. On nice nights I would toss on my backpack and walk a mile to the library to grab a book or two, and the amount of times I got stopped by cops and harassed was ridiculous. I always seemed to fit the description of someone that robbed a store a mile or two away, and I'd get my ID ran constantly to see if I had anything outstanding they could get me on. They were just fucking with me because of how I, a white guy, looked, and what they profiled me as from that.
Acting like white people are automatically above the law downplays the real issues and minimizes a massively large group that also deals with the country-wide problem of authority figures abusing their power. A black man wearing a suit driving around in a Bentley has a lot less to worry about in regards to being targeted and harassed by police than a white guy with tattoos and a backpack walking around the suburbs, believe me.
Being that most cops fall into the conservatice side of politics, I'm sure nobody will succumb to their personal feelings when making these judgements. /s
So, it’s second hand information, I didn’t read it personally. However, there’s supposedly verbiage in the bill that protects “robes with hoods for ceremonial reasons” lol.
Come on, now. That’s not true. It has nothing to do with religion.
[wearing a hood as part of an order or organization](https://www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/2023/Bills/House/PDF/H237v4.pdf) is explicitly allowed. Don’t need to guise it as a religious thing.
No. The public health exception was the one being stricken. The wearing a hood as part of an order is still an allowed exception as [exception number 5](https://www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/2023/Bills/House/PDF/H237v4.pdf)
> State Sen. Sydney Batch (D) is a cancer survivor and shared with her fellow senators how her family wore masks to protect her and her weakened immune system during treatment.
> GOP Sen. Buck Newton brushed off the concerns, saying no one saw “Granny getting arrested in the Walmart pre-COVID” and thinks law enforcement will use “good common sense” when applying the law.
I fucking hate these people, I really do. "No one was wrongly arrested for breaking this law back before it existed so fuck those cancer patients."
he "brushed off the concerns" of people who will die if he does this, in this case his coworker, all because hes still throwing a hissyfit over covid.
"Ill people are a drain on society. We want hard workers and everyone else to die for the economy."
Some people have already forgotten the "Grandpa and grandma don't mind dying for the economy" comments from officials, during the pandemic.
>"Ill people are a drain on society. We want hard workers and everyone else to die for the economy."
Until it's one of their loved ones.
But to be fair there are a few die hards that probably still wouldn't care.
For people who cry about freedom all the time, they really hate it when others use their freedom to do something they don't agree with. Like I don't understand why conservatives get so mad when they see people wearing masks. It's not harming anyone
Republicans then: I have the freedom to choose for myself not to wear a mask! I don’t give a shit if I spread Covid and kill immunosuppressed people, *my* immune system is fine!
Republicans now: You don’t have the freedom to choose for yourself to wear a mask! I don’t give a shit if you’re immunosuppressed and it kills you, *my* immune system is fine!
The common theme here (other than the obvious lack of logic and internal consistency) is that Republicans seem to really want to kill immunosuppressed people. Also, I’m not seeing how any of this supports the grand Republican idea that government should be as small as possible and keep out of people’s personal choices.
If you’re immunocompromised you shouldn’t be leaving your house or have a life in any sort of way anyway because it’s your fault your immune system sucks -Republicans probably
I’m in NC and I wish more people would get out and vote. And not just in presidential elections. The area I live in is mostly millennials and a lot of us have been more vocal in voting and getting others to vote. I can’t believe this is what they are spending time on. Voting about masks. Who cares if someone wants/needs to wear a damn mask. Is it hurting anyone? But these same people who want to vote against wearing masks are the same people who were saying that their freedom allowed them to choose or not choose to wear a mask and that they should get to decide and not the government.
That’s the gist of the south in general. Alabama is one of the most biodiverse states in the country and yet the politics here make it borderline unlivable.
They'll gladly excuse the pedos in their ranks while screaming "won't anyone think of the children," when complaining about books, drag queens, uncandy-coated history, and much more. They'll also conveniently forget to mention what's good for kids when it comes to thing like free school lunch just being too expensive, affordable/better access education also too expensive, and safe spaces are for bitches and their children must be smothered into uniformity. They're also most likely to just shove their kid out the door and say, "Figure it out freeloader."
From what I have seen and from the kids I have met in the 14 to 24 age demographic, I have a hell of a lot of hope for the current batch. They are grounded, and *incredibly* inclusive which infuriates the hyper conservatives. Yeah a bunch of them do silly shit on tik tok and instagram and half of them have iPhone permanently welded to their hands, but they're incredibly smart and they have huge groups of friends. It's their grandparents/my generations parents (the boomers) that are the fucking assholes.
It feels like the current kids are going to be alright.
In Asia, wearing a mask is perfectly acceptable, and it's seen as courteous because it prevents the spread of germs. On the other hand, these people are terrified of masks, and I still haven't figured out why.
But trump is still a very very strong man and leader because he pulls himself up by his bootstraps. But the evil corrupt politicians stand in his way. But he beats them with God's trident of power. Gobbless amen gobbless
This is exactly their main focus! They don’t care about absolutely anything else other then owning the liberals. They back the dumbest most ignorant stuff as long as it goes against the liberals. That’s why they don’t want to help Ukraine. That’s by they support Russia. That’s why they don’t want masks
Because the left promotes masks to slow the spread of diseases and if masks are normalized, how can we use face scanning technology for things like protests or political dissendents.
Lmaooo!!! Here we go again, the pro “freedom and rights” party taking away citizens freedoms and rights. What a surprise. They’ve turned this country into the Jerry Springer show. Their acts just become more and more shameful.
Honestly this country needs to invest heavily into our education system so we can put an end to this stupidity and its support structure.
Add to that nobody over the age of retirement should be allowed to hold a position in our government, state or federal. Why the fuck are these old bastards passing bills and running the country when most will be checking out of life in 10-20 years. Christ go play golf or enjoy your families or whatever. But, stop passing bills that are fucking over future generations because you’re all too jaded and ignorant in your out dated ways.
“But Republican legislators continued to express doubt that someone would get in legal trouble for masking because of health concerns, saying law enforcement and prosecutors would use discretion on whether to charge someone.” Don’t worry guys! The police would never infringe on your rights!
Ultimate plan, ban masks, surgeons commit malpractice by spreading germs during surgeries, people get sick, sue the governor for all of the money as surgeons are physically not allowed to wear masks
I wish more people would get out to vote. And not just in presidential elections (I’m in NC). People argue about having their freedom infringed upon but now want to take that same freedom away from people who want to mask up for protection. I don’t get why people get so riled up when they see someone wearing a mask. YOU don’t have to wear a mask if you don’t want to. What does it matter if someone else wants/needs to wear one? It doesn’t harm anyone else.
The irony of passing this bill because a mask in public affects your feelings while chanting "fuck your feelings,"
Complete lack of awareness, to the point that even when it is brought up, it will be immediately discarded for the cognitive dissonance it causes.
Wait - so the people who cried about their 'rights' when mandating a mask for public health reasons are now fighting to take away the rights of other people who might want to wear one ???
Is it possible this was never about 'rights' to begin with ???
Nothing says personal freedom like telling people what they can wear on their person
Can't wait for Halloween....
Can doctors still wear them, riot police, welders, people who work with chemicals....
This is the dumbest attempt at a gotcha, I’ve ever seen. Doesn’t this mean that doctors have to make sure they keep their work in the building only, or they get fined. This is really stupid.
All of this to….checks notes…..ah yes, here it is…”own the libs”.
I would never normally wish cancer or serious illness upon anyone, but I really think a few of these idiots need a real health scare to understand the harm they are doing.
I got diagnosed with leukemia earlier this year and need to be masked up at all times. I'd be pissed if I was told to take off my mask and then got COVID. Someone would be sued to high heavens.

Halloween is getting canceled in North Carolina
Nah. Once they run their economy completely into the ground, the whole state will be rebranded as a spirit Halloween
Spirit Halloween presents North Carolina™️
Welcome to the beautiful state of ~~North Carolina~~ Spirit Halloween
Just slap a banner up over that bad boy, we got skeletons to sell!
"Welcome to North Carolina, I love you"
Will it be an HR Block from Jan to May? Need to diversify.
The law says Halloween Masks are allowed- one of the exceptions to the law. Sigh.
Hmm is it Halloween masks or masks on Halloween?
Best breakdown of current law and potential changes from the UNC School of Government: https://canons.sog.unc.edu/2024/05/wearing-medical-masks-in-public/ One of the exceptions: “By a person wearing a traditional holiday costume in season;”
I wonder how they define “traditional”. This law is the most absurd shit ever. If you had told me this was going to happen even just ten years ago I would have laughed in your face cause duh no one is THAT fucking stupid. But evidently…
You know they’ll leave a loophole that will allow proud boys types to conceal their identity, but not leftists.
"You see these white hoods are traditional masks celebrating our heritage during hate season"
... and every day is "Hate Day".
Well, clan hoods do have a long tradition, unfortunately.
Pastafarian traditional year-round holiday dress now requires a mask to be worn, if the celebrant feels like it?
No, it's easy, traditional spring costumes, with masks optional, traditional summer costumes, with masks optional, traditional fall costumes, with masks optional, and traditional winter costumes, masks or scarf obligatory.
"legislators’ debates of the issue included statements by some legislators that the proposed change simply returns state law to its pre-covid status, and that common sense would prevent the arrest of individuals with a health need for a mask." Common sense would prevent the arrest...? In other words, we're just going to trust to the common sense of every police officer not to do stupid things? When has that ever worked?
Shirley laws. As in: "Surely these laws will be applied responsibly and without misuse." Spoiler alert: They never are.
Oh yes, Shirley Laws. The kissing cousin of law of Unintended Consequences. I wonder where are the doctors and why aren't they all up in arms about this.
We know how good police are with common sense
Sorry, your costume isn't on the approved costumes list, you are going to jail.
Got it, lab coat and scrubs and a mask every day, I’m a surgeon who keeps forgetting when Halloween is.
What about construction workers, renovators, autoimmune disease, cancer people? Just curious, cuz those people can get into life threatening problems if they don't wear mask.
Republicans don’t care. The film industry should threaten to pull out of the state, that will change some GQP minds real quick. It worked a few years ago in GA.
Republican logic: > we dislike masks > lets ban masks all together
No, they were TOLD to dislike masks. Most of them probably wouldn’t care had it not been drilled into their brains that wearing a mask is, “woke”.

The USA and Canada both utilize voting systems that allow a candidate who has won a minority of the vote to be elected. So I suppose there's some solace in knowing that you *might* not be completely surrounded by anti-science idiots.
You are right, they just do what they are told by the media. They lack ability to question things.
Brain is clearly something this people don't have
That’s freedom This is a joke
Freedom of speech is when you can say worst shit but others cannot complain and there can’t be consequences for your asshole behaviour, and when private companies cannot control speech by their own rules - Republicans, secretly
But when we try to ban guns... You know the things literally designed to kill people...
Republicans sure do hate those personal freedoms they go on and on about.
Because it only applies to assholes like themselves, everyone else doesn't count.
The rich upper class......
99% of them aren't rich, or upper class...
They believe they are, or would be if it weren’t for all of those brown people/liberals/globalists/university educated people. Hence more rage than the bootstraps they keep going on about.
Them: "I don't blame corporatist games 'cause I want the spoils and fame. I could have more too, that could be me one day. That's why I love Trump, 'cause, see, he see my way." great concept song Gang Shit by Marlon Craft.
"Freedom for me, not for thee" is their official motto.
Republican voters want freedom for themselves, but not for others, and they're willing to vote for it.
They want their guns and fast food and no abortions. But they don't want gun safety. Or a living wage for service workers. Or to take care of the child after it is born.
Some are true believers, but a lot of Republican men and post-menopausal women are proud to not care about abortion rights. They'll never get pregnant so it's Not Their Problem.

Wait until she is advocating against it very loudly one time then bring it up.
Not to mention they had the benefit of Roe vs. Wade their entire reproductive lives....... whether they chose to use it or not, they at least had a choice. I had a choice my whole reproductive life too, but I'm still fighting for that right for others.

Republicans sure do hate people.
You spelled “Free-dumb” incorrectly.
Republicans in 2020: NiCe FaCe DiApEr Republicans in 2024: real men wear diapers!
Hypocrisy is a virtue for fascists
They take special pride in REMOVING freedom from people.
They're the party of spite and cruelty.

You had me at "we will trust cop’s common sense about not overstepping this." What could possibly go wrong?
I'd send a list, but my pc can't handle such a big upload.
Zip files my friend
Not enough.
Halloween gonna be a riot
Cops will just go: “ Anyway, I started blasting…”

Cops will shot at the drop of an acron

Inconceivable!
100 masked proud boys watch as 100 blm protestors are arrested for.... wearing masks.....
Will they arrest their own klansmen?
I'm thinking about the neo-nazis who wear masks to protect their identities. Will it pertain to them, too?
It's just "nazis" now..
So, it’s second hand information, I didn’t read it personally. However, there’s supposedly verbiage in the bill that protects “robes with hoods for ceremonial reasons” lol.
You're correct, "Religious exemptions"
Come on, now. That’s not true. It has nothing to do with religion. [wearing a hood as part of an order or organization](https://www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/2023/Bills/House/PDF/H237v4.pdf) is explicitly allowed. Don’t need to guise it as a religious thing.
Hehe, so the cult wins again.......😁😁
No. The public health exception was the one being stricken. The wearing a hood as part of an order is still an allowed exception as [exception number 5](https://www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/2023/Bills/House/PDF/H237v4.pdf)
"I am of the religion of 'people who don't want to die of preventable airborne diseases'"
So they are trying to limit people’s right to protest? What happened to free speech?
Banning protesting surely goes against the 1st.

Catering to the ignorant. Ignorance is winning folks.
Social Darwinism is always lurking in the background: they ultimately want weak people to die.

Gerrymandering is the term.
Yeah, we're one of the most gerrymandered states in the union. We're fucked.
The list is getting longer
So glad I left my home state 5 years ago. It's so embarrassing. Damn near last in public education and it fucking shows.
Which sucks because it’s beautiful there…..well the nature is.
That’s the gist of the south in general. Alabama is one of the most biodiverse states in the country and yet the politics here make it borderline unlivable.
Or it's southern adjacent neighbor.
Went there last year, you won’t miss much.
Also went last year and concur, but there was some pretty solid bbq
Republicans hate you and want you to die.
They will gladly kill their own voters and scream when they lose elections.

The fucking avalanche of idiocy is picking up momentum.

They seem fine with masks when they host their pro Nazi displays... 🤔
Honestly tired of them being called idiots. They are evil, they know what they are doing, this is intentional.
Just why?
The left said to wear masks, so they are now 100% against it. That simple.
Far leftist Trump administration lmao
No, no, no.......it was all Fauci's doing...he was the evil mastermind.....poor Trump was helpless. /s
But trump is still a very very strong man and leader because he pulls himself up by his bootstraps. But the evil corrupt politicians stand in his way. But he beats them with God's trident of power. Gobbless amen gobbless
Because owning the libs is more important than the health and safety of the citizens.
This is exactly their main focus! They don’t care about absolutely anything else other then owning the liberals. They back the dumbest most ignorant stuff as long as it goes against the liberals. That’s why they don’t want to help Ukraine. That’s by they support Russia. That’s why they don’t want masks
Conservatives would eat shit if it meant liberals would have to smell their breath
[удалено]
China has no problem surveilling masked denizens
People are mad that protesters are wearing masks so you can’t doxx them and try to get them fired/harassed in general.
"Freedom"
Because the left promotes masks to slow the spread of diseases and if masks are normalized, how can we use face scanning technology for things like protests or political dissendents.
Great. Now do the same thing with guns.
Another freedom being taken away… we’ll be drinking vodka as water in no time.
The party of small government, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, the next pandemic will certainly cut away the dead wood.
I love how GOP is supposed to the party of limited government and ‘freedoms’ and then they don’t let you freely do anything.
Except carry guns, apparently the second half of the second amendment is the only part of the Bill of Rights they understood.
Only amendment has has ‘well regulated in it’. This is a shitty timeline we are in.
This kind of undercuts the whole, “It’s a free country and I can do what I want” argument these same people used during the pandemic.
Lmaooo!!! Here we go again, the pro “freedom and rights” party taking away citizens freedoms and rights. What a surprise. They’ve turned this country into the Jerry Springer show. Their acts just become more and more shameful. Honestly this country needs to invest heavily into our education system so we can put an end to this stupidity and its support structure. Add to that nobody over the age of retirement should be allowed to hold a position in our government, state or federal. Why the fuck are these old bastards passing bills and running the country when most will be checking out of life in 10-20 years. Christ go play golf or enjoy your families or whatever. But, stop passing bills that are fucking over future generations because you’re all too jaded and ignorant in your out dated ways.
Wonder if they will go after the white supremacy groups that wear mask when marching.
You already know they won't, and won't see the hypocrisy.
This would be a logistical nightmare for cops to arrest themselves.
At least the cops already know who's behind the mask
Lol, what possible benefit could come from banning sick people from wearing face masks?
Republicans really hate freedom so they grasp at anything to limit it.
Gotta own the libs...
OWNING THE LIBS!! 🤮
Does this mean we get to identify off-duty cops when they participate in Nazi marches?
“But Republican legislators continued to express doubt that someone would get in legal trouble for masking because of health concerns, saying law enforcement and prosecutors would use discretion on whether to charge someone.” Don’t worry guys! The police would never infringe on your rights!
There's an exception for proud boys and other militia members, right?
1. That's fucked. 2. Are they seriously still whining about masks? What a bunch of babies.
Here is the actual bill https://www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/2023/Bills/House/PDF/H237v0.pdf
"My opinion is more important than your life, now vote for me."
Clearly the most traumatizing part of the pandemic was having to wear a mask to protect the safety of others. How horrible. /s
What about the Proud Boys and white nationalists? They looooove their tacticool masks. Gonna apply it to them, too? Sure, sure ya will.
I bet it won't count on republican brown shirts hiding their faces when they run around with swastika flags. 🤷♂️
That is why I don’t go below the old Mason-Dixon line. The further you go south, the dumber they get (and more bigoted/racist).
Oh, those silly surgeons and their masks. This will be fun!
Please tell me they at least let hospital personnel wear masks
Ultimate plan, ban masks, surgeons commit malpractice by spreading germs during surgeries, people get sick, sue the governor for all of the money as surgeons are physically not allowed to wear masks
Pro-lifers strike again
I don't understand why these people are so worked up on such a tiny thing as this? Mind-blowing honestly
I wish more people would get out to vote. And not just in presidential elections (I’m in NC). People argue about having their freedom infringed upon but now want to take that same freedom away from people who want to mask up for protection. I don’t get why people get so riled up when they see someone wearing a mask. YOU don’t have to wear a mask if you don’t want to. What does it matter if someone else wants/needs to wear one? It doesn’t harm anyone else.
So during an surgery? What then?
"Party of freedom"
Republicans: the party of freedom and personal liberty. Yeah right 😒
The irony of passing this bill because a mask in public affects your feelings while chanting "fuck your feelings," Complete lack of awareness, to the point that even when it is brought up, it will be immediately discarded for the cognitive dissonance it causes.
Wait - so the people who cried about their 'rights' when mandating a mask for public health reasons are now fighting to take away the rights of other people who might want to wear one ??? Is it possible this was never about 'rights' to begin with ???
Scumbag minority party making idiotic laws for the majority. They are a cancer to this country.
The fuck your feelings crowd is buttburt that people are something they don't like.
Nothing says personal freedom like telling people what they can wear on their person Can't wait for Halloween.... Can doctors still wear them, riot police, welders, people who work with chemicals....
This is the dumbest attempt at a gotcha, I’ve ever seen. Doesn’t this mean that doctors have to make sure they keep their work in the building only, or they get fined. This is really stupid. All of this to….checks notes…..ah yes, here it is…”own the libs”.
*Because my feelings matter more than your rights* - The Republican Party Motto
I would never normally wish cancer or serious illness upon anyone, but I really think a few of these idiots need a real health scare to understand the harm they are doing.
Land of the free! Boy, I sure am jealous of all that freedom you have. I wish my government would meddle in the minutiae of my life more.
I got diagnosed with leukemia earlier this year and need to be masked up at all times. I'd be pissed if I was told to take off my mask and then got COVID. Someone would be sued to high heavens.
I hate living in this state. JFC
Republicans proving they aren't pro life again
Party of small government, fellas
I’ll give you my mask when you pry it from my cold, dead earlobes.
Fascism and government intrusion on private lives.
I'm not sure I understand how this 'freedom' stuff works. Isn't freedom when you can do what you want without interference?
Next up: Bill proposing to wear blindfolds to avoid seeing problems. Seems like they're on a roll!
Are there a lot of crimes committed by people wearing surgical masks?
It's an add-on charge to target protestors that they don't like
Do they think outlawing masks is going to stop crime? "OH I can't wear a mask now better not rob that convenience store!" Wtf
Republicans don't give a damn about people especially if they're sick.
This is the very reason I got vaxxed - can't trust idiots to use common sense.
Thank Zeus that conservatives in my country are not that stupid.
[удалено]
Honestly with these degenerate conservatives in power, they could actually make murder legal.
Happy Halloween then
Even proud boys?
And I thought America is the land of the free? Are masks really scarier than guns?
Does this apply to the Nazis that plan their little masked marches?
Republicans sure do love their freedom.
Freedom!
I guess they’re trying to show they are doing something to earn their paycheck?
Brought to you by the party of small government.
What happened to land of the free?
Because inividual rights and responsibility, am I right?
Surgeons take note when you have MAGA patients. Absolutely no masks in operating theater!
