As you’ve probably already heard, Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser not only conveniently set a mask mandate in the city to go into effect the day after she attended a swanky birthday party in her honor late last week, but on the very day it went into effect she was reportedly seen not abiding by her own mandate.
Bowser’s double standard was just one more on a long list of incidents where Democrats who either called for or implemented strict guidelines about masks were ultimately exposed as political “leaders” who don’t practice what they preach. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been notorious for doing this on multiple occasions, and President Biden himself violated his own federal mask mandate within hours of his inauguration.
This morning, CBC News White House reporter Kathryn Watson noted what she’s seeing even in the most liberal parts of the D.C. area two days after the mask mandate was put back in place:
"Anecdotally, I was the only person wearing a mask in my building's gym today in a liberal area of a liberal city, despite the reimposed D.C. and building mask requirements. People are simply fed up." 6:39 AM · Aug 2, 2021
Though the evidence was only anecdotal, it lines up with what I’ve read and heard from a lot of people – including liberals – on social media and elsewhere about their feelings on mask mandates at any level of government at this stage of the pandemic.
As I’ve said before, for months now, we’ve been hearing how we need to get vaccinated in order for America to begin returning back to normal, and yet now even vaccinated people are now being told they should mask up. In some areas, like D.C., they’re even being ordered to wear masks pretty much everywhere.
It’s doesn’t make sense to a lot of people, even those who are generally inclined to do whatever the government says concerning masks and other COVID-related guidelines.
For close to 18 months now, well-meaning people on the left and right have followed the CDC guidelines close to the letter, but the contradictory messages coming from this White House about masks and the vaccines as well as the “do as I say but not as I do approach” from Dems have ultimately proved to be a bridge too far for some of those same people. Accordingly, a lot of folks are fed up at this point and are trying to go about their daily lives the best way they can.
Simply put, eyes are being opened on this issue at long last, a nightmarish scenario for so-called “leaders” with authoritarian tendencies like Bowser and other Democrats.
“Anecdotally, I was the only person wearing a mask in my building’s gym today...”
Anecdotally you are an idiot.
“His credibility dropped about 70% by that time.”
If only that were true. The F Gnome’s credibility has run strong for 18+ months in spite of lies, and contradictions coming out of his own mouth.
We know they are lying.
They know they are lying.
So if everyone knows they are lying, what is the point of keeping up the charade?
I think we will see a lot of Leftist narratives fall apart in the coming months.
The lies are too weak - the contradictions are too obvious.
The hypocrisy is so blatant that even the dumbest of the dumb can see it.
They ran one of the creepiest and most corrupt politicians ever, despite the fact that he suffers from serious dementia, and then when he predictably lost, they used corrupt Democrat-run precincts to steal the election in broad daylight!
How long can they keep up this charade and lie with a straight face?

The Freepers who are in denial are those who think that the vaccines are unsafe and ineffective.

Wrong! I took the vaccine and I’ve experienced nothing but the knowledge that I have little to no worry about the virus.
“Now it is time for civil disobedience or we are all gonna end up as laborers on their ant farm.”
There was a lot of focus on this today on Dan Bongino’s radio show, i.e., civil disobedience. His shouting is sometimes hard to listen to, but the content is good.
Very few are masking here in DuPage.
That’s a good thing.

“what is the point of keeping up the charade?”
Because it’s not about a virus.
It’s never been about a virus.
It’s all about control, and always has been.
Masks are like trainer wheels, to guide those who aren’t able to perform at the level of those who make rules.
But if they are acute they get shipped to a big hosp.
Of course...we are seeing people that have the VAX get the 19....
I don't trust nothing the GOBMENT is doing right now. NOTHING!!
You have to admire the genius of the mask mandates. A clear visual indicator of those willing to comply, and of those who may be “trouble makers”. Of course the reverse is also true, it’s a pretty clear indicator of who’s on “team blue”.
I am posting this in a lot of dem groups and sites and getting
alot of grumpy and agreeing replies. It’s a pretty good vid and short ...

Same in Atlanta. Kroger grocery everyone is masked up all of a sudden and Aldis. I heard HD is requiring masks again. We ate going tomorrow. Not wearing a mask.
Seriously, I really do have a small red circle on my skin more than 10 weeks post injection. My father has one on his arm more than three months post injection. I don't remember seeing that after any other vaccine. It wonder if it means anything.
Personally, I'm pro-vax for adults over 50, anti-vax for kids and anti-government overreach, but that's just my opinion. You do you.
The Freepers who are in denial are those who think that the vaccines are unsafe and ineffective.
I just want the normal 7+ year test cases to back up that it’s not additional poison for my system. I lost 25% of my lung capacity during my Navy time, I certainly don’t want to lose anymore to what MAY be a good vaccine, or may be poison. I just want to wait for actual PROOF. Is that so difficult to understand?
For many millions of American women and "men" functioning without a mask -- even as they know masking is a dirty, nasty, unhealthy bad habit -- is not much different from a psychological perspective than an alcoholic struggling each day with the compulsion to have a drink, even with knowing the harm he is doing to his body and mind with his addiction. Masking has become not just a passing fad, but a true addiction.
In addition to support and encouragement, breaking the vile habit of masking takes courage and strength ... traits that are becoming more rare throughout America with each passing day.
Panera Bread put all of us back in masks last week too, putting it back on after a few weeks of freedom felt lousy. I need the supplemental income right now though. Guests are “requested” but not “required” to wear them and so far it looks like 50/50 wearing them.
it’s not a vaccine, it’s an attenuator...

Wrong!
There are some angry freepers here who took the death jab and want the rest of us to share their misery. And they are becoming insufferable.
Best idea I’ve heard today!
