Protesters burn masks outside City Hall in response to mask mandate [View all]

In addition, because most folks are now reluctant to go to enclosed spaces, local government meetings are a safe space for Trump supporters to gather and reinforce their views that the pandemic is hoax and the officials are overreacting in order to hurt Trump.
