Infowars.com reports: Horrified liberals on social media were quick to virtue-signal their subservience to the masks and lockdowns.
Am I the only one thinking we still have drs and nurses in need of masks and these maskholes are burning them

This is how 400+ years of hate and bigotry is passed down. Get to them young and teach it. I’d hate to see what they’re being taught behind closed doors. How stupid and pointless is this exercise they’re doing? This will really show the virus who’s boss. Damn idiots.

As a nurse, I can't quite articulate the anger and despair caused by displays like these. We have fought long and hard against this virus for over a year and this is such a knife in the back when people can't be bothered to do the bare minimum.

They like to burn things, Beatles records, objects they greet with scorn, crosses….

Notably, Little never imposed a mask mandate in the Gem State, but several counties and mayors have instituted various mask mandates and other COVID restrictions.
Some counties have lifted their mandates while others remain, but with Texas and Mississippi lifting their statewide mandates this week, pressure has increased on areas with restrictions to open to full capacity.
