Who cares about masks, even patriotic ones? It’s still a mask.
Precisely. Making masks fashionable, i.e. making a statement, is bad. It legitimizes subservience. I've not worn one at all except when a doctor's office requires it for me to see a doctor.
Was in the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green today and did not, no one said a thing to me. There were a few others without them, but not many. Also went into Lowes and the grocery store on the way home and no one said anything to me about not wearing one.
