Biden: “If I'm your president, on day one we'll have a national mask mandate.”
The elitist class will never understand why us commoners won't simply do as we're told. Lemme break it down… https://reason.com/2020/08/21/a-vote-for-joe-biden-is-a-vote-for-a-national-mask-mandate-says-biden/

I’ll start here: I think rebelling against masks is on par with rebelling against seatbelts. It’s misplaced. But I get it. Most Americans have an exquisite sense of fair play, and from the start of this mess we’ve seen arbitrary rules, double-standards, and political expediency.
A few examples:
• Liquor stores are “essential businesses,” but gyms are not.
• Home Depot stays open (and packed), but Pop’s Hardware is closed.
• VIP funerals take place in packed cathedrals, but Average Joe can’t hold his mother’s hand when she dies in a hospital.
• Liquor stores are “essential businesses,” but gyms are not.
• Home Depot stays open (and packed), but Pop’s Hardware is closed.
• VIP funerals take place in packed cathedrals, but Average Joe can’t hold his mother’s hand when she dies in a hospital.
• Protests are encouraged & riots are tolerated, but beaches are off-limits.
• Utilities are sacred & shall not be deprived — until you piss off the wrong bureaucrat and he shuts off your water.
• Authorities allow thugs to rule the streets, but: You. Will. Wear. Your. Mask.
• Utilities are sacred & shall not be deprived — until you piss off the wrong bureaucrat and he shuts off your water.
• Authorities allow thugs to rule the streets, but: You. Will. Wear. Your. Mask.
I don't think elitists like @JoeBiden can understand what the mask has come to symbolize, though it’s really not that complicated. The mask is one small thing over which individuals have control. Of COURSE it's a point of rebellion, and it’s not merely a stand against authority…
…it is a stand against authoritarians. Me? I think it’s daft to rebel against masks. There are bigger fish to fry. But there it is, and career nannies like Biden give us the only answer within their grasp: you will do as I say, and you will like it.
