I don’t know if this will register or be understood, but the issue isn’t just about an individual’s choice to wear a mask or not. This is about breaking through and ending an ongoing psychological attack that has much deeper implications than simply the freedom to choose what to wear.
The mask is symbolism at a deep psychological level, and is in that context, a continuing abuse. And this is where things get a bit more complex, but try to understand something …… the requirement to wear the mask in the first place was an act of dishonesty and psychological subjugation having no legitimate purpose other than to generate mass fear and compliance, which ultimately was a literal assault, both psychologically and physically, upon the mental and physical health of everyone forced to wear them. And it’s not just about the continued harm caused to the individual mask wearer, but extends to those around them, as the act itself reinforces the lies first used to convince people to wear them, and the underlying subconscious fears still haunting some people, most particularly, children.
And this is where things get really deep ….. but just about every undesirable aspect of society today is based on lies. Lies we are told, lies we tell to others, lies we repeat, and even the lies we tell ourselves. We are by every measure, living and drowning in a giant sea of lies to such an extent that people cannot even figure out on their own, what the truth is anymore. It’s gotten so bad, that we now consider the truth the enemy, which explains why so many people react so violently and viscously if confronted with the truth. I’ve heard many more than just one person say “I don’t even know what to believe anymore”, and I suspect most people have felt this way at some point.
The cancel culture, and woke-ism, being just a couple of examples reflecting this fact. It’s gotten so bad that we are now told that we should refer to pregnant women as “pregnant persons”, to avoid gender bias? What? And it has manifested in such things as gender confusion, and normalizing it by allowing such asinine behavior as permitting boys to use the girls restrooms in schools, if they “identify” as females? I’m not sure I can find a more obvious example of confusion, than being confused about which restroom one should use, can you?
So I ask you, seriously, if we cannot even reach a consensus regarding who uses which restroom, or that only women are able to become pregnant, how can we possibly expect to solve the larger problems facing the world? How can we expect anything other than constant turmoil? How do we solve poverty and starvation, prevent wars, promote peace, care for the environment, when we cannot even agree on the fact that you are a male if you have a bloody penis?
Folks, this is mass mental illness, which is the product of promoting endless lies, and banning the truth … this produces mental breakdown, because our minds are not designed to consume an endless diet of lies, anymore than a computer is designed to run properly on faulty code. You want to know the source of all our problems? That’s it.
I challenge anyone to identify any problem we are dealing with right now as a society, or globally as a human species, and I can show you the lie behind it. Every last one, no exceptions.
And the only cure for these problems starts with telling the truth, about everything, which includes taking that damned mask off, which is a perfect start for everyone to understand that they have been lied to, deceived, and must first acknowledge it. Yes, it was a lie. Once everyone accepts that, then they will know who the liars are! That’s important information to know, isn’t it? Who the liars are? Until you understand who the liars are, you won’t know who was telling you the truth, and therefore will remain at risk of having the liars lie to you again.
And guess what …. as soon as you know who those liars really are, you might listen next time, when someone warns you about being lied to.
Maybe they wanted to wear a mask. Why should DeSantis castigate them over that? It shows how small-minded he is. I would think he has more important things to deal with.
Because it’s a lie. And it shows how small minded people really are who don’t understand this basic fact. Do you not see how upside down your view is, when finding fault in a politician who tells the truth for a change? LOL. It’s crazy.
All of this is a part of all of this …. Listen …. your protest is a personal confession that you don’t understand the difference between telling the truth and being a liar. Lies of omission are still lies. OK? And those who tell the truth, should be commended not criticized.
They say that society always gets the leaders they deserve, and that’s apparently why we have so many liars now in positions of power. It seems that too many of us prefer to be lied to. How else can you explain why the biggest liars are always getting re-elected over and over again, for decades? How else can you explain why people get attacked when telling the truth?
The question now is …. if our leaders are indeed a reflection of the people who elected them, what does it say about us given the leaders we have right now? Biden, the dementia patient? …. Harris, the cackling incompetent? Pelosi, the incoherent alcoholic who shouldn’t be left unsupervised? Shumer, Schiff, Nadler, all pathological liars …. with all of the rest of them, including most of the republicans all grandstanding and criticizing the opposition, but never actually doing anything of material benefit, either?
Just one gigantic clown show, which has led us to financial hardship, medical tyranny, and now sitting at the brink of Nuclear War with Russia, as Biden condemns Russia’s tanks surrounding IRANIANS?
But De Satis is the bad guy for telling students they can take off their face diapers?
You cannot make this kind of crap up. Mass insanity.
Not a big mask wearer. Only when forced (air travel, etc.)
But DeSantis put on a political show about the mask wearing and then mocked and shamed the kids wearing masks as COVID theatre.
There is a better way to approach this. He behaved badly but the base eats it up.

He did tell them they could keep their masks on, if that’s what they wanted. He can’t encourage people to take their masks off, especially when the CDC and Dr. Fauci admit cloth masks don’t do anything?

Who was that Democratic shrill politician who demanded Ledapo wear a mask in front of her, and then created a spectacle of it

Come on now...you think I'm that naive? He said -- you can keep it on but it is ridiculous.
He basically announced on open mike if they kept their masks on they would be ridiculous.
That is bullying on every level.
It was wrong.
And he could have talked to them in a more adult like way.
He put on a political show and then ranted about Covid theater. The hypocrisy is mind boggling.
But we have become so polarized that nobody will see that.
I thought DeSantis was smarter. I thought he was more clever in his ability to put on the show.
He could have said nicely to the kids. If you are wearing the masks to protect me, please don't feel obligated. I'm fine if you would like to take your mask off but understand if you need to wear one.
You want to bet he wears a mask when he accompanies his wife to her chemo and doesn't rant about Covid theatre?
My brother was stationed in Japan in the 80s. He said whenever they Japanese were sick they always wore a mask and isolated. Of course masks cut down on the transmissibility of sickness. But you do you.
I lived in Japan for ten years. A Japanese explained to me the real reason for the masks isn't illness or pollution like people think. They wear them mostly due to allergies from Japanese Cedar trees. At least that's what I was told when we did a lesson in Japanese language school on the matter.

I agree, he could have said it better, however, he’s not wrong. It is ridiculous to continue wearing a cloth mask when Dr. Fauci has said they don’t provide any protection. And high school students are at NO RISK. We’ve created a huge psychological problem, and that’s why I support him saying this. And if he wears a mask at the chemo place, it’s probably because the place requires them, even though the science doesn’t agree.

That's an interesting fact that I did not know. Makes sense!
