To give you an idea of how brazenly stupid we've become, in the midst of the Canadian wildfire smoke invasion of the last few days, Facebook feeds were once again filled with people arguing over...masks.
With the air quality what it was, it was suggested that an N95 mask was a very good idea if you needed to go outside. Which makes sense to most people in the world except for American right-wingers, who immediately smelled some Fauci-inspired plot to turn them gay or something. They would venture out into the sepia tone landscape and breath deeply and freely like REAL MEN, thank you very much. None of this diaper on the face / climate change nonsense for them.
"Trump looked straight into an eclipse, and he was fine!" one said.
"Maybe Canada should start raking their forest floors like MY PRESIDENT suggested", said another.
Ok, they didn't really say these things. But when you read them, you believed me because this is exactly the sort of stupid shit these people say all the time. It's exhausting.
