OK - now they're mad because OTHER people are wearing masks

So much for that "you're interfering with my freedoms" thing.

1. How did so many people get so crazy so quickly?

3. Leadership.

[rownesheck]

4. It's like watching Faux News

and being a conspiratorial dumbass created a switch in their lizard brains which has been activated by the dumbassery of the orange dipshit.

I've watched it happen to my mom, dad, brother, uncles, etc.

[WePurrsevere]

5. They've always been there, Trump has just emboldened them...

To embrace their crazy, racist, etc side and media encourages them by giving them a platform.

[soothsayer]

6. Right, more phones and stuff in play too I reckon

Wow. Come on, USA. Let’s shape up. The world is watching.

[WePurrsevere]

11. Yes, social media has too...

But most of the rest of the world has that and phones, etc as well. It seems like we have our very own special brand of loud mouthed kool-aid drinking pigpoop crazy moronic racists (etc) here. Aren't we lucky?

[soothsayer]

12. Ugly Americans. Guess the world has seen it for years

[WePurrsevere]

32. Yes, but there beautiful of spirit ones here too. I'd even say

those are the true, just normally quieter, majority. Unfortunately those who are "deplorable" (rude, awful, loud, obnoxious, moronic, etc) tend to grab the most attention though.

[olegramps]

24. It is the same anti-science menality that has been fostered by the Republican Party.

It is has been reported that 30% would refuse to be vaccinated when a vaccine could become available. This is the same group, basically drawn from the right wing that refuse to have their children vaccinated for a number of infectious diseases. It is unfortunate that these idiots who can infect innocent people are allowed to come out of their caves. It is insanity that we allow these brainwashed nincompoops to jeopardize the rest of society, especially innocent children and be protected from serious censure.

[oasis]

28. +1

[mercuryblues]

57. As long as trump and his minions are in charge of the vaccines

I will not get one. I don't trust them. He lies and they lie to cover up his lies.

[Aristus]

65. Trump isn't in charge of the vaccines. Your local medical clinics and hospitals are.

No matter what pronunciamento Generalissimo Trump issues, it's still the medical providers who administer vaccines. And vaccines are safe. This is the one time I'm going to say 'don't blame it on Trump'. Get your vaccines.

[olegramps]

69. Infatically right on. This could be a fatal mistake; just as serious as not vacinnating kids.

Please don't allow these asinine people to affect your common sense. It is the same type of fears that has misled people to actually believe that vaccines are the cause of illnesses and has led to an outbreak in measles and other childhood diseases.

These diseases can have lasting affects. An example is chicken pox. If you have been infected long after recovery older people can have an eruption of shingles. It can be very serious and extremely painful. Thankfully there is vaccine that provides a degree of protection. It would be ridiculous for anyone who ever had chickenpox as a child not to get the new vaccine that has been improved over the former vaccine. Who knows at this time what will be the lasting effects of this disease.

[Aristus]

75. Shingles as a sequelae of chicken pox is bad enough.

But it's nothing compared to subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, a sequelae of measles that doesn't present in people who have been given the MMR vaccine. It's rare, but deadly, and a very nasty way to die. Definitely not worth the 'natural immunity' anti-vaxxers are always crowing about.

[olegramps]

83. I thought that sequelae might mean a sequence, but you sent me to my dictionary to check.

I see that sequela is singular and -ae is plural. Thanks for the information.

[Aristus]

86. Oops! You're right...

Sorry...

[olegramps]

96. As a follow up I just read where appx 50% of those effected by the virus have heart abnormalities.

I would suppose from the article that it pertains is those who have been hospitalized. I don't know about those not requiring hospitalization, but it is just another serious problem that must be explored.

[Martin Eden]

93. I don't think it happened "quickly"

Decades of propaganda from Faux News and hate radio have completely warped the worldview of tens of millions of Americans by manipulating their fears and ignorance.

Now with COVID 19 and BLM they are more afraid and hateful than ever. Though they may call the pandemic an overblown hoax, subconsciously they know it isn't. They are terrified, and will blame anyone but themselves and those who've conned them.

They are in a deep and vehement denial about the reality of this situation, lashing out in anger at anyone who threatens the rotten foundations upon which their belief system is built.

[soothsayer]

94. They're definitely feeling threatened

[chia]

2. "Deep State" isn't shoehorned in, though. It's a thread woven across the MAGA mindset,

it's part of the whole cloth. It's not surprising that it comes to the front of the narrative.

[Liberal In Texas]

7. The "State of Terror" is exactly what the right has been successful in inculcating into

their followers. Keeping them afraid (of even people wearing masks) works right into the "Law and Order" narrative Drump has been spouting.

[Mr. Ected]

9. Call it by its clinical name: DENIALISM

The refusal to accept reality.

They wrap it up as FAKE NEWS and put a bow on it, but it's a psychological condition and they've got it.

[Duppers]

16. Exactly: "It's a psychological condition"

They were conditioned to accept a premise absent of any supporting facts.

13. Remember the lady that lost it inside a Target

and destroyed a display of face masks for sale?

Ant then the police showed up at her house (well her soon to be ex-husbands house) and arrested her?

This person right here in this video has the same psychosis going on... completely delusional and into all of the "deep state" conspiracy theories pushed by years of right wing radio idiots like Limpballs and Alex Jones.

There are literally millions here just like these two.. and their grip on reality is slipping right before our eyes.

This is really no more than the flu...but please please don't let fear enter the picture or you will lower your immune system and leave yourself wide open for more severe health issues!

I wish all of you health, ease, joy and glory. It's just a matter of choice and attitude!

[Newest Reality]

17. Don't forget that...

Don't forget that she misses the agenda that foreign governments--Russia for instance--are taking advantage of the low criteria believers who require no substantiation or evidence.

That is pretty well documented and there are many websites that overtly or covertly reinforce existing ones and/or inject new content for various purposes. These people are ripe for being manipulate because they don't know how that works and the irony is that they really think they do.

The manipulation is not just of our elections. There are many broad propaganda campaigns. Gullible people could actually assist in our downfall while they imagine they are fighting for something.

[malaise]

18. Some wife will be murdered over masks

Just wait and see

[FailureToCommunicate]

49. Could be. I've seen (even here in Massachusetts) often an older couple, the woman wearing

a mask and the husband not.

Probably make for some tense talk at home, before going out.

They (the non maskers) should have to carry a card that says: "Do not treat me for Covid, I don't believe in this hoax"

[malaise]

52. +1,000 for that card

[FailureToCommunicate]

55. That kind of card would make so much more sense than the one showing up claiming

an ADA exemption from wearing a mask.

[aggiesal]

60. And what's worse is that the wife thinks she's protecting herself ...

but when they get home, the mask comes off.
If he's picked up the virus, she's sure to get it.

[FailureToCommunicate]

88. True. And at this point we all know enough that only the N-95s protect the wearer, like medical

folks HAVE to wear, but that the simple cloth ones most are wearing protect (somewhat) others around you.

Still important to wear, and it help keep us from touching our own faces, with our yucky hands.

[Squinch]

19. I hate that these videos make me wish for a second that these people will get it. I don't really,

but for a minute there is an "Oh, yeah?" feeling of "Covid could show you what terror ACTUALLY is."

[PatSeg]

43. Oh you're not alone

The brainwashing and indoctrination is so thorough and ingrained, perhaps contracting the virus is the only cure. I really don't want to wish anything bad on people, but they don't seem to respond to reason or knowledge. Meanwhile, they are a danger to themselves and others.

[yardwork]

72. Well, if somebody is going to get it....

[SoonerPride]

36. In Oklahoma a man tried ripping tha facemask off a person in a store.

These people are triggered because they feel shame by knowing they should be doing the right thing and choose not to.

How dare your actions make them feel a certain kind of way.

This will only increase in in time.

There will be more incidents like this.

[calimary]

80. That sounds like flat-out assault to me.

[irisblue]

85. Oh? Details please.

Wow

[spanone]

42. there must be another virus of mental illness going around....crazy fucks

[gollygee]

44. The great irony that she thinks other people are living in fear

while she appears to be terrified of some fictional "deep state"

[patphil]

45. Wow! That woman actually reeks of fear.

If fear is not resolved, it can go to anger since people don't like being afraid.
If anger is not resolved, it can go to hatred because anger needs something to focus on.
If hatred is not resolved, it can go to violence since hatred needs to be externalized or it will consume the hater.

This woman is showing all the stages of this cycle. You could see the red rage in her as she shouted her irrational rant.

[cayugafalls]

68. +1000

Exactly. Fear. She is afraid of what she sees because she has been programmed to fear those who think critically.

The hate radio and fox news has demonized the left and critical thinking to the point that it is we who are the enemy, the deep state.

They now have blinders on and no longer see a fellow human being, they see an enemy to be out down and diminished.

[Rebl2]

48. At the beginning

she sounds British, but soon she doesn’t so much as she begins to scream. Just an idiot trump cult follower.

[greenjar_01]

53. She's making fun of the reporter's English accent

She's a real prize.

[In It to Win It]

51. SERIOUS QUESTION: Is this real?

[IronLionZion]

59. No, it's all a liberal hoax pushed by the deep state

[Demsrule86]

63. Serious response... Yes. Now a question why would you think it wasn't?

[In It to Win It]

82. I thought it was too stupid to be real but it seems I thought wrong.

[Demsrule86]

90. It is real. I was nervous to begin with...had studied the 18 Pandemic in School...

and when I first heard of Covid...my blood ran cold because I felt Trump was the worst person to be in charge of something like this. He is nuts and will kill many people before this is over.

[moondust]

71. Yes, it's real.

I saw it a couple days ago broadcast on Sky News in the U.K. The idiot is yelling at Sky News reporter Alex Crawford and her crew.

We were shouted at for wearing masks. This is why the situation in the US is so dire

[Woodwizard]

89. I have the same thoughts when I see some of this stuff

Very easy to stage stupidity to further a stereotype. Though I do know a flat earth anti vax wacko that also believes in Q and the deep state.

[iscooterliberally]

56. This is the result of decades of psychological warfare.

So many people are brainwashed today because they turned their TV to the wrong channel and just left it there.

[MustLoveBeagles]

91. Decades of listening to hate radio didn't help either

[iscooterliberally]

95. That's a huge part of the psychological warfare that is going on too.

I had a friend start up his truck a few years back and the am radio came on with Rush Limbaugh. I almost barfed next to his truck. I asked how he could listen to that bloviating asshole. My friend was a bit sheepish about getting caught out. I told him silence would be much better than that crap and if he really wants to listen to the news, NPR is a much better choice. Even the sound of AM is horrible. It gives me a headache.

[IronLionZion]

58. Deep state has facial recognition cameras tracking your every move

the way to defeat it is by covering your nose and mouth in public

[LisaL]

61. That's actually would be an excellent response that should confuse the hell out of someone like

that woman.

[FakeNoose]

62. I'm mad that people are actually allowed to broadcast their craziness

... for all of us to hear on social media. If you're out of your mind, be ashamed of yourself and keep silent! You're not wearing a mask, I don't care - just STFU!

[LeftInTX]

66. I was on our mayor's FB page, watching his COVID update

Some crazy girl starts spouting about how anyone in Texas can get an absentee ballot and how mail ballots are nothing but fraud. I tried to tell her that in Texas an absentee ballot and a mail ballot are the exact same thing. She kept telling me I was full of it cuz I'm a Democrat (It says it on my FB profile). She went on and on about how officials all vote absentee and they don't vote by mail. The fact is: In Texas, if you want to vote mail via absentee, you need to be out of the county during the election and you need to provide an out of county address where to mail the ballot.

I have a little bit of person experience with this....

She wouldn't shut up...stupid lady.......

[augyboston]

64. Off the Beam, Out of Control, Livid with Anger...

This woman is clearly out of control and has anger issues. Deep State? Talk about narratives! How about we rely on science and empirically driven data to arrive at facts and we use those facts to make informed decisions?!?

Nothing worse than an emotionally based strong opinion devoid of facts to support "your preconceived narrative".

Besides this woman screaming like an insane person is totally endangering the person wearing a mask that is a considerate attempt to protect this woman who is clearly off the beam, out of control and livid with anger.

Now, if it were me she was unloading on I'd like to think I could control myself; but I can say I would not blame the person she's abusing if she hauled off and slapped her dumb ass silly!

[xxqqqzme]

74. This was my mother.

Only she blamed everything on Al Gore and Hillary.She would get bulletins/alerts from various fux freaks hannity, o'liely and send them to me. It took me 3 years of sending her to snopes before she finally caught on. I would see an email from her and just delete it without opening it.
She wrote me out of the will.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

87. An old man at a local post office glared at me...

... for wearing a mask a few weeks ago. He kept his mouth shut, but his thoughts were obvious.

When he was served, he then berated the female postal clerk for wearing a mask. He kept saying that he couldn't understand her with the mask on her face, so she HAD to remove it for him. She was perfectly understandable and he was clearly not hard-of-hearing, and she refused to comply to his demands. Then he gave up on that effort and the various transactions were handled just fine. When they were all done with his various requests, he turned his head and glared at me again before departing. Lol.

Obviously a Trump cultist.

Edit: I sometimes had giant pick-up trucks tailgate me when I drove a Prius. Same principle. I was apparently a "problem" for driving such a car when global warming is a hoax in their minds.

[GulfCoast66]

92. I would just tell her to fuck off. But will never get the chance. Ok. I did once.

Not just this clip, but in general notice how they never unload on guys at like me? A decent sized and in decent shape white guy? Who drives a big truck and wears boots. Just one more way my privilege jackpot makes my life better. Can’t believe more don’t see that.

They are cowards.
