[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was just out of state.  None wore masks.  Here in MoCo they clutch their masks like they clutch their pearls.  [/quote]
Montgomery County disproportionately attracts a certain kind of person. They're rabid rules followers, the type of person who volunteered to be a hall monitor back in middle school (or an informant for the secret police, in a different system). On top of the OCD rules following, [b]there is a lot of anxiety in the area.[/b] Plus, people were so traumatized by the Trump years (I remember parents crying and comforting one another at drop off the morning after he got elected, FFS), so they want to outwardly show just how opposed they are to him and everything he stood for and believed.

So, it's like a perfect storm in a place like Montgomery County, where masks are no longer a minimally effective protection against the pandemic, but rather a spiritual talisman and indicator of one's membership among the holy and righteous.   [/quote]
If there’s one word I could use to describe that county it definitely is anxiety.[/quote]

The hall monitor energy there is super strong[/quote]
In an earlier age, they'd be the type of people forcing the scarlet letter onto others. Because, rules are rules, after all. [/quote]
