Before a couple of years ago, masks were often banned at the local level in the US. There's no good reason for bans or mandates in normal circumstances, and that includes being a democracy.

I don’t understand why you’re responding to me with this point. My point had nothing to do with mandates, only objecting to the desire to ban masks.

Masks were not "often" banned at the local level. Tons of Asian tourists, Muslims, and people in cold places wore them.
