This is an honest question. I really want to know.

Why do covidiots wear masks to their hate rallies where they’re holding signs saying it’s a hoax. Or it’s no worse than the flu or sorry you’re elderly or compromised we have to profit. They didn’t wear the mask in past flu seasons?

I can’t wrap my mind around their thought process. Every single thing they spew is upside down world.

They know they are showing their asses right now. They know their employers will not want to be associated with how they have acted. They are doing it to hide their identity so the internet won't be able to ID them.

Hard to be a disruptive nuisance if you get arrested in five minutes.

Having read some of the conspiracy/trackers in the vaccine/Gates/HRC/hoax nonsense online, there is no thought process involved.

Simply unprovable assertions based on bizarre YouTube posts.

Maybe to some of them--those few still capable of rational thought--longevity takes priority over being photographed screaming under a MAGA hat?

Otherwise, amazing absurdity of the stupid kind, indeed?
