Mocking, bullying, insulting mask wearers or non-mask wearers is a childish political show from anybody.

I'm not pro mask or anti-mask. But human decency, being the adult in the room counts.
Clearly half of the students standing on that stage did not want to wear masks because they took them off when DeSantis said they could do so.

DeSantis wasn't bullying the kids, he was objecting to kids being forced to wear masks whether they wanted to or not.

Just because Kid A wants to wear a mask does not mean that Kid B should be forced to wear a useless mask, too.

Nope. Apt description for the dementia patient you voted for, however.

When people are able to CHOOSE whether or not to wear a mask, MOST choose not to wear one. That says a lot.

We have a couple of grocery stores in my area. At the one store, unvaccinated employees are REQUIRED to wear masks so many of the employees wear masks.

In another grocery store, mask wearing is completely optional for all employees. Almost none of the employees wear masks.

You can tell what a store's policy is just by walking in, using your eyes and looking around. I try to shop at the stores that don't force masks on their employees.

Thank you for clarifying your position of being against personal choice.

DeSantis is not about choice. It's his way or the highway in everything he does.

Here is the kid who wanted to keep his mask on because he is living with an immunocompromised grandfather. A DeSantis staffer motioned him from behind DeSantis and told him if he didn't want to take his mask off to stand off to the side. Disgusting.

The smart money is against you.


November is going to be quite the shock for your ilk.
The price on shares at Predictit of DeSantis to lose in the gubernatorial election is almost exactly the same price (a little over 10 cents on the dollar) that Trump was to win the 2020 election after many states had certified Biden's win.

So that's the level of wishful thinking Blondy is engaging in.

What? It was clear that some of the kids didn't take off their masks. DeSantis was not bullying them.

You are free to wear a mask if you want to. Unless you have allergies and are trying to avoid pollen and dust in the air, you are doing little good for yourself or for your immunocompromised relatives.

Online classes would be a better bet for you. Or you just use common sense and stay away from the elderly when you aren't feeling well.

I’m not looking to establish any credibility with a maskhole. I hate your kind. And would love for you guys to leave and never return.

I’m a Florida voter. And I’m telling you, me and millions of voters hate mini Hitlers. I voted for Gelber (MB mayor) prior to the pandemic. Big Fing mistake my part. He nor anyone of that party will get my vote. You guys pack your bags and get the Hell out. Florida is changing, and we hate your guts.

The only choice maskholes should have is to fly out of Florida. You’re not welcome here. We don’t want you.
