A great idea and I just called my House member asking him to wear a mask and also called Jeffries office asking him to ask all Democrats to wear a mask tonight protesting trump screaming about "illegal" protests |
How is he going to expel American citizens from the country! |
Plenty of exceptions in Virginia. 18.2-422. Prohibition of wearing of masks in certain places; exceptions. It shall be unlawful for any person over 16 years of age to, with the intent to conceal his identity, wear any mask, hood or other device whereby a substantial portion of the face is hidden or covered so as to conceal the identity of the wearer, to be or appear in any public place, or upon any private property in this Commonwealth without first having obtained from the owner or tenant thereof consent to do so in writing. However, the provisions of this section shall not apply to persons (i) wearing traditional holiday costumes; (ii) engaged in professions, trades, employment or other activities and wearing protective masks which are deemed necessary for the physical safety of the wearer or other persons; (iii) engaged in any bona fide theatrical production or masquerade ball; or (iv) wearing a mask, hood or other device for bona fide medical reasons upon (a) the advice of a licensed physician or osteopath and carrying on his person an affidavit from the physician or osteopath specifying the medical necessity for wearing the device and the date on which the wearing of the device will no longer be necessary and providing a brief description of the device, or (b) the declaration of a disaster or state of emergency by the Governor in response to a public health emergency where the emergency declaration expressly waives this section, defines the mask appropriate for the emergency, and provides for the duration of the waiver. The violation of any provisions of this section is a Class 6 felony. |
Not surgical masks. Full face masks that hide your identity. Yes, Virginia and other states ban this sort of masking. Why? It was directed at the Klan and was intended to prevent klansmen from hiding their identities. |
Actually, everything that you’ve mentioned is an issue for Republicans trying to energize their base. Why don’t Republicans own their own obsessions— instead of projecting them? |
You realize that many states have laws banning wearing masks while committing a crime? This was in response to the KKK. Do you support the KKK wearing masks now? |
So a handful of narcissists can fell superior, and so people with more money than they or their children can ever spend can add more to their coffers. I did read an article that suggested that some prominent MAGA leaders seemed to be energized and excited by the suffering of others. That fits. If I can find the article I’ll add a link. |
Different kind of masks. You know this, of course. Are trolls paid by the word? The post? The number of sickened responses? |
All the white supremacists who came in counterprotest to a recent anti Trump rally in my state were wearing masks. And you know what? The police let them. Because they would not push the issue and escalate the situation. That is the deference that white supremacists get. If the shoe was on the other foot, the other group would have been policed just because of the masks alone. White supremacists get to do whatever they want want long as they don't get violent. And I, in no way, think Trump's message was about white supremacists, get real |
Really? How is this projection? The current president pardoned insurrectionists who would've hanged his veep, possibly the speaker, if they had reached them. People here are drawing logical conclusions based on his conduct and statements to date. This may be hard if you eschew logic, reasoning, science, but this is what educated people do with information. And educated =/= college degree, but being informed. |
Is peaceful protesting a crime? |
MAGA fetish. Normal humans don’t have thoughts like this. |
I mean all the racist, nazi kkk, proud boy protesters are known for cowardly hiding behind masks. |
Yes, and they don't let a law stop them And the police don't talk to them about taking off their masks. There is no consequence. |
Trump is a fascist. There is no defending or justifying or explaining him. Supporting Trump is supporting fascism. No more gaslighting. |
