How can you spot a Trump supporter?

Let's just all live our lives in fear till this all pans out.

Are you one of these?

The people in whom it induces fear must have comorbidities and were really facing issues before so we don't need to include them in the cheshbon
/s

Anyone who panics from seeing masks needs some Xanax quick and a follow up because it won't be enough.

Who is living in fear?
Is everyone that lives in Israel living in fear because there are terror attacks or do they try and take the prudent steps?

The deaths and hospitalization rates don't call for all these precautions. All this lock down stuff was in the name of bending the curve not to be too much for the heathcare. Anything beyond that is immoral

again with the false equivalence!
Who said anything about lockdown?

[username]

And you like the attention?

I do not get any attention for/from it.


ETA: there are only 20-40 people in the Bais Medrash.

[aygart]

I hope these people who cannot understand that there are levels between lockdown and belittling someone who wears a mask has a better understanding of the gemara than he has regarding COVID.

How did we get to this point in this thread?
It is to have some fun just like the Trump/Biden gaffe threads.

[aygart]

And you like the attention?

Honestly, you have no clue at all what health issues someone wearing a mask may have and why they may be doing it. Belittling them the way you are is nothing but horrible midos and achzarius. If these are the feeling you have about someone doing what may be medically important for him then you need a whole lot of mussar. If someone who needs a mask doesn't wear one because of your inability to control your anxieties and then something happens to them it will be your fault.

You don't want to wear a mask then don't, but why do you need to impose it on others? If you can't control your very apparent psychiatric issues of such anxiety that it gives you a panic attack when you see someone in a mask then PLEASE GO GET YOURSELF SOME PSYCHIATRIC HELP!

What do you mean? We are spotting some Trump supporters!

Now it was immoral for him to wear a mask... you’re doing great.

I  was referring to the government

But the government had nothing to do with this conversation.. we were talking about a guy who you’re claiming was wearing a mask for attention

Talk about middos. Reread the thread. It started off with him saying he doesn't know why the guy wears  mask. Then

Sounds like me.  

I do it because I do not find wearing a mask so uncomfortable.

Then

And you like the attention?

As in shouldn't that be a deterrent? As evidenced by this response:

Or maybe he does it *despite* the attention because he feels it’s the right thing?

CV with the regular "switch the topic to something else" response and "Trump is the worst president since Obama" signoff.

You need to get out more. Those not wearing are the ones who want the attention.
Look at the biggest idiot that won't wear one. 

and then

So 399 people don't wear masks so they can get atention and the 1 person does cause he so righteous

No saying that people wearing a mask is doing it for attention. Just that if you had to pick, the guy that's 1 in 400 is a more likely candidate for "attention seeker" than the other 399.

Since this thread has gone to hell, I'm just going to leave this here...

Florida has seen over 244,500 NEW confirmed cases in the last 30 days. The biggest driver of that has been the very large anti-mask demographic. As a result, FL is looking at a minimum of 3000 deaths in the 30 days, and very possibly over 10,000. But don't worry, this whole thing is a hoax, and doctors lie. We need to be wearing tinfoil hats, not masks.

You can save this comment so I can eat crow on Aug 17. Don't think I'll have to, though.

5G, man! It's all about them waves!

[Jeremiah]

Above my pay grade.

Where were they by the rallies that defied masks and social distancing protocols?

It’s very generous of you to assume that he was sincerely asking if the attention was a deterrent but if you followed his posts in this conversation and that of the other thread it appears more likely that he was heckling him for wearing a mask as in “You’re acting up because enjoy the attention”?

If true, that’s disrespectful, naive, and wrong.

Not gonna happen. I'll eat my crow too

What’s not going to happen? What do you believe will happen in Florida? I sense a bet I want to take.

You have a 140k+ dead from this pandemic in our country and getting worse. People need to face this fact and do something to stop it. If masks are a constant reminder of this fact then that alone is a reason to wear them.

People need to realize that 140k dead means we did something wrong for the last 4 months, not that we should keep doing it and say how important it is.
