Former White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci on Saturday defended masking amid a rise in COVID cases across the country, saying he hopes people would listen to advice from health off…
All the MAGAs would be wearing their MAGA masks, probably harassing people that weren’t wearing masks.
But Trump was simply too vain to put on a mask himself, so the MAGAs emulated that and searched the internet for conspiracy theories they could believe in to avoid thinking of themselves as being vain.
Yeah, they really marketed masks wrong in the beginning. Hell, think of how much more traction Trump could’ve had by marketing masks this way. AND he could have sold a shitton of branded MAGA masks.
Fauci would probably get a better response if he said “Don’t wear masks so the lib cameras can track you”.
All of a sudden masks sell out everywhere.
Seriously use reverse psychology.
Someone else mentioned this today and I’ve thought it for ages. Trump missed a huge opportunity to sell MAGA masks by going on the anti-mask train.

Trump’s concern was that his face makeup would stain edges of the mask.
Be glad of that. If the MAGA folks had been wearing masks on Jan-6, they’d have been a lot harder for the DOJ to identify and arrest.
I’m leaning towards having the CDC recommend these people don’t jump off a bridge so we can just get rid of this nonsense.

The old ‘give the public the best available information in the best way you can’ ploy. It’ll never catch on.

Or simply just say “no need to wear masks” and conservatives will suddenly be all for masking up.
That would actually be a more effective use of cheap masks too.
