It’s like an identity crisis.

I pro choice and anti gun. So I feel like I have no political home anymore.

I'm pretty sure the people who clinging to masks for everyone are the exact definition of lemmings here.

I don't see any local emergency. Where is it?

I think it just passed today. I think it said - masks rules have to have an opt out, but governor can still declare an emergency and say we need masks for all.

I know, sweetie. I know. That's why I'm preparing to sell you lots and lots of timeshares and some vitamins that will cure cancer AND your ED. I just hope you can afford them, what with your weekly donations to Trumpist shell companies and your child support.

OP hates masks
Even when they make sense
So she votes fascist

I think masks after two years for kids in school are a problem. I haven't yet voted fascist but you all are looney and I don't want to associate with your political party either. You are all too far the other direction. I was looking for normal people. I should have known I was looking in the wrong place. LOL.

+1. Agree with OP.

I am not interested in time shares. I don't take vitamins but get my nutrients from food, and I don't donate to Trump or have child support. So I guess I am not the lemming?

What D wants to override school districts and take away their ability to manage this and future pandemics?

I guess the ones who think the school boards are incompetent and are doing it all wrong. I think it's really terrible that the VA legislature thinks (rightly so) that we need a LAW to ensure in person school - but that's the state of reality with these school boards - we need such a law not one, but two years in a row now. And I'm willing to call the Ds out on it. It's BAD that you're are mishandling education in a pandemic so badly that they need this law.

we better hope that an actual health emergency doesn't happen with Youngkin as Governor, because we know full well that he will NEVER do an emergency mandate. NEVER

The good news is - there are vaccines and boosters and high quality one way masks if you're concerned. If we can't unmask now - we never can. What would change in the future? Not the advent of vaccines.

Declining cases would continue to decline, the weather will continue to improve and there will correspondingly be even less chance of you reinfecting your entire family with covid.

But I know. You can't wait a month because that would be "forever" so you have to demask right now!!! For the children!!

You failed the marshmallow test too, didn't you?

I fully believe that APS would have gone virtual after New Years and not reopened for weeks if it weren't for the law requiring in person school... and that's nuts.
