Wow, you are a perfect example is what is wrong with this country, and play right along help adding to the division, America will implode from within, it won't be some foreign terrorist with beards, won't be those bronwn people coming in illegally,

It will be homegrown Americans like yourself, and those on the left who blame Trump for everything.

We now have 40 million Americas out of work, a decimated economy, racer relations worse than they were 60 years go, Agenda 21 in motion(you probably don't know what that is look it up) the UN is involved, not a conspiracy theory, it is real and documented.

But by all means carry on, make everything political, create more division. Why worry your little head over those silly things I brought up, it's more important to keep adding to the divide.

But I will be a good sport, I live in CA and wear a mask in store. Will not wear out walking, driving.or local beaches(not really a big beach person) Why not?Masks cut down on our oxygen intake, thus lowering the immune system, add you become more susceptible to diseases when you're in isolation, these are facts not conjecture. Fresh air is important, salt water air is especially good for respiratory issues so not wearing one is smart besides it from county, so LA County you're supposed to wear a mask I guess the lifeguards I saw on the news missed the memo, as did the cops as they weren't wearing them.See people out here are to starting to question "do as I say not as I do' mantra. You go north to Ventura or south to Orange County no mask, when things start to contradict or vary for no good reason, it it time to start asking questions


Now here is some good advice for you no fee...LOL. People out here are fed up. So regardless of who they voted for, it is gone beyond that.So some may not like Trump there is equal if not more disdain for Newsom. People out here and sadly now many had to learn the hard way you better put your differences aside for the near future,or all of us lose.


Who I voted and who other people that you don't know isn't any of your business Do you ask people how much money they have i the bank, how much they earn? You really need to get past this;

Used to be "United We Stand Divided We Fall" well we are in freefall. It's time to ask yourself what is important in your life. Especially if you have children, it really can't be this type of petty nonsense.


People like yourself and the this goes for the extreme left as well. You're on your driveway looking a small dent to the car, meanwhile right behind your house is on fire, burning to the ground but you're too busy to notice looking at the dent instead.

Maybe because that’s the question in the title of the thread. He/she did not make this political. The title of the thread reads as follows:

Do you wear a face-mask while shopping AND WHAT IS YOUR POLITICAL AFFILIATION?

Reading is fundamental.

Wearing a mask is such a simple thing. If it protects you and your loved ones from the stupid virus droplets, that we cannot see, why not wear a mask, out in public. This horrific virus is a little more critical than a "dent," in your car.

Snarky comment but the OP did make it political by asking what political affiliation you are. There is nothing political about wearing a mask - Republicans, Democrats and Independents are all wearing masks and many from each political affiliation have decided they don't want to wear masks due to personal choice or medical conditions. Reading may be fundamental - but most would agree the OP had an underlying motive to prove which political affiliation was adhering to mask wearing. Sorry you don't see that!

I was answering the questions the OP asked, and also stating that wearing a mask should not be political. What I'm doing has no impact on society Trump is public figure who is trying to make it political. He wants to influence his base of conspiracy theorists to protest so states to remove all restrictions.

Trump is just trying to rescue his bid to win in November he doesn't care about his base if they die from the virus many of them are obese, and have health issues the ones I see at his rally's.

All Trump cares about is not having stand there at the swearing in of Joe Biden that would drive him crazy. He has been boasting for last 4 years how he beat Clinton IMO Trump only wanted to win the election now he entertains himself shocking the media.

Many don't understand that when they speak tiny droplets fly out of their mouths into the face of other people if you are standing closer then 2-3 feet humans are disgusting. If someone coughs droplets fly all over sneezing lot worse maybe even infect entire room.

To those who do not wear a mask in a crowded grocery store are ignorant to the risk they put others in. Those droplets also fly onto items in the store where people take those home to elderly can end up dead from the virus. Wearing a mask should not have anything to do with politics it's about science and safety.
With all due respect, please reconsider this and put it in perspective. As I wrote in my post I do wear a mask in public though the vast majority of my friends and neighbors don't. I was the ONLY person with a mask on in the supermarket yesterday aside from employees who are required legally.

But this situation would be even WORSE without Trump's travel ban on China, and a strong economy going in which was only because of Trump. My area would be devastated if Biden or Hillary was president due to government overregulation and attacks on the oil and gas industry. The PPE and ventilator shortage is because of DEMOCRATS and their globalist policies of unfair trade agreements that sent the majority of US manufacturing overseas.

There are some things I disagree with Trump on with the virus like how he should be encouraging masks. HOWEVER this will never change the fact that ....

- I will NEVER be okay with abortion
- I will NEVER be okay with illegal immigrants or Dreamers getting citizenship and I will always believe in a Mexican border wall
- Gun rights will always be important to me
- I will never be okay with socialist medicine or Obamacare
- I will always vote to protect our economic interests here in my state which will be devastated by the Green New Deal, and I will always vote to bring more jobs back to the US, which will reduce the ventilator and PPE shortage in the future if more of it is manufactured here. When its made in China, the Chinese government can block exports from ever leaving China and they're blocking it in anticipation of the next wave.
