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, there is a lot of anxiety in the area. 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.
If there’s one word I could use to describe that county it definitely is anxiety.

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

You are just a mean, anti-science, troll.
Anti-science? I'm not the one wearing a mask outside. Never have, because it doesn't take a PhD to understand that illness does not spread in outdoors setting, in any meaningful sense. And, I trust my vaccine enough to know that I really don't need to worry about covid anymore than I have to worry about the other small risks in my life.
And "mean" and "troll" doesn't mean "someone who says things I disagree with."

And then we told them, "You can still go buy sh8t and stand in lines around everyone as long as you wear a cloth mask."

They were antivaxxers as well as antimaskers.
Say what you want to about MoCo, but I don't know a single person here with a breakthrough case or who has died of a post Covid heart attack.
As a result, I'm all for you antimaskers not wearing a mask and taking one for the team. Thanks!
Amazing that you typed the last sentence of your first paragraph yet lack the ability to read or understand it.
I’m vaxxed with a booster and am in great shape and am fine if by not wearing a mask I catch a case of the sniffles.
Weird country we live in where obese people try to shame athletes about their health choices.
