I dunno. I felt judged whenever I was walking around wearing a mask. One time I put one on when some guy walked up to me when I was walking my dog, and it kinda started an argument. A tow truck driver literally told me masks were government control devices before he jumped our car.

I felt like I was masking alone sometimes, like I was offending the public for doing it.

Just because that’s absurd doesn’t mean masses of people didn’t see masking as political. To me, it was kinda hard to ignore.

They made it political. Your wearing of the mask was not political. (based on your description anyhow)

No, I never meant for it to be. I just wanted to stay alive and not give covid to someone else like, you know, someone sane.

But alas I didn’t want it to be political, but it was. I could assert that all I want, and it doesn’t change the community I had to interact with.

I see your point, I’m just saying that’s on them, not you. You took a reasonable action.
