Sure but it makes him a giant douche not to when everyone around him is. Sociopath.

There was at least one other person unmasked in the video, and -- based on what I've seen in grocery stores in NoVa -- likely more outside of the video's frame. But go on ahead with your mature name calling.

Things like pandemics, masks and vaccines were never political - until Trump and his whackadoodle MAGAism made them political.

Except there are many of us who don’t fall into the shape of your MAGA caricature. We dutifully wore our masks when mandated, and got our vaccines when they became available. You need to give up the Trump card, seriously.

They won't, though. They're hanging on to their Trump card (nice one, btw) and MAGA caricatures for dear life because it's all they have in the face of Biden's failures and Covid becoming endemic. Life will go back to normal, but they simply can't bear the thought of losing whatever power they think they have over the rest of us.

Youngkin and other Republicans are attacking masks and public safety measures for no genuinely good reason other than politics. Fine if you don't want to hear it tied to MAGA or Trumpism but what you cannot do is claim public health measures haven't been assaulted, undermined and politicized by the right wing in completely new and unprecedented ways.

And for people on the left, it has nothing to do with science or public health, either. For you, a mask is just a symbol to your fellow travelers about how virtuous you are. It’s no different than a MAGA hat.

I find this all fascinating. Dems don’t actually think that we should “mask forever” and masks will definitely come off again soon… surge is waning, immunity is high. Republicans here desperately want to be able to claim the return to normal as a win, so they’re creating this narrative that Dems are standing in the way. The reality is, things will go back to normal, just because that’s what happens with pandemics. I wear a mask whenever I see a sign asking me to. There are no local mandates but I respect the establishments I enter enough to comply. Because I’m not anti-social like you PP. yes we are all fellow travelers. It’s not virtue signaling to be patient, knowing that things will be normal again really soon. Remember how normal it was last summer? We’re almost there again.

I agree. I keep seeing posts about how masks are virtue signaling and we want them to be FOREVER etc. but I don’t know anyone that actually thinks like that. We just want sensible precautions during a raging pandemic. It’s pretty wild to see these accusations. Of course they will never believe us and will keep on pumping up the fantasy that it’s all just some sort of liberal plot to take away freedom or some similar nonsense. Look at the hate they have for anyone who understands that masks save lives.

Every grocery store I’ve been to in the Alexandria area has a sign on the doors asking patrons to wear masks. Remember all the “supply chain issues” this winter? They were actually labor supply issues. Too many people out sick. He is a tool. Now go clutch your pearls because I called him a mean name.

Is he also free to ignore no shirt/no shoes/no service signs?

Not wearing a mask is the same as wearing a MAGA hat.

Mask wearing is virtue signaling? Is that virtue signaling like finding a way to work the American flag into social media profile pic? Slapping a Blue Lives matter sticker on your pickup truck window, posting “thank a vet” on social media for every Holiday or crying during the National Anthem at a little league game?

And that “at least one person” is also a douche but that other person is not the Governor.

Such outrage over nothing.

For the literate, the policy the governors in the states above are adopting are identical to the one we’ve had in Virginia for quite some time—leaving it up to localities. Glad you approve. Youngkin doesn’t.

That's right. Asking. Not requiring.

It's just folks wound up in their own hysteria and projecting their fears by name calling everyone else.

Correct. And ignoring the request make you a douche. You’re finally understanding.

+1. The mask isn’t just about risk to yourself, it’s also about the risk you pose to others. Youngkin went out of his way to make an appearance in that grocery store maskless, basically giving the middle finger to everyone else inside. Great way to treat your constituents.

The mask obsessed people on this thread sound unhinged. The rest of the country is finally moving on. How about focusing on long term solutions instead? Like the fat lady who screamed in the store? What would be better for her - and for all as her condition increases the health care costs to others - than the useless cloth mask she is wearing is if she dropped the extra weight.

It’s much easier to put a piece of cloth on your face than to do things that actually matter in terms of Covid prevention. And I say this as a triple vaxxers, still has Covid Dem.

For me, it’s not about the mask. It’s about a governor, poking his finger in the eye of his constituents to score cheap points. I stand by my initial assessment. He’s a tool.

You may have a point there, but there’s a big difference. The folks who do all those things you mentioned aren’t trying to force others to do it also.

The rest of the country is moving on?

Have we declared “Mission Accomplished” yet? When we start approaching endemic numbers is when we should be ready to move on. We are certainly beginning to trend in that direction but we are not yet there.

Omicron served some good in exposing those who refused to vax while fortunately being milder. This certainly wasn’t true for everyone but we could have certainly achieved herd immunity and been out of this mess sooner if the anti-mask freedom fighters would have just taken the jab. Instead they dragged this pandemic out by kicking and screaming over every perceived slight or injustice.

So for the love of God, just STFU for 3-4 more months, wear a stupid mask for 30 minutes of your petty life so we can all move on.
