I have plenty of friends and family who are republicans and not one of them goes out without wearing a mask and practicing social distancing. We still differ in many ways....
During a recent conversation with 2 of my republican family members I asked if they wear a mask and they said yes. I was curious about the reasoning since all this crap is so politicized/polarizing ...... the reply was "I'm going to live my life and I'm not going to stay holed up in my house so I wear a mask, wash my hands and social distance". They have flown in planes, gone to Hawaii, gone to casinos and Disney.
I approach things differently ... Like them I wear a mask, wash my hands often and socially distance. I'm not going to Hawaii, casinos, fly in planes or go to Disney. In some ways I'm envious because there are amazing bargains for obvious reasons but as Frank Sinatra said "I gotta be me".
As far as how I use a mask I have a rule that I established early on and became used to....since I don't go out any more than I need to and have always worked from home ... I usually go out for a purpose and not entertainment so....I put the mask on in the house and it doesn't come off till I'm home. I figured out how to wear/adjust a mask so that it doesn't slip below my nose and doesn't require adjustment. Can't wait to get home, reach behind my ears, pull that fucker off.
