Wearing a mask is inconvenient and much of the resistance is just people being lazy and then rationalizing it. Furthermore, people who go for the same old talking points without acknowledging counterarguments are by definition ignorant.

I'm no fan of the democrats either, and I'd say there is a lot of lazy/ignorant campaigning on their part as well. But on this topic at least the democrats acknowledged the pandemic and aimed for some type of response. There are actually conservative approaches to many of the problems facing our society. But rather than adopting those positions and making public debate be about the merits of conservative/progressive approaches, the republican party has chosen a path of simply denying that the problems exist at all. This cannot stand.
