American boomers lose the plot over mandatory face mask orders

“I AM NOT ANTIFA”

Not my words, but the words of American boomers who would literally rather die than be forced by the tyrannical hand of the government to wear face masks over their mouths.

As is the case in a number of countries battling to eradicate coronavirus, many American states have enforced mandatory face mask orders for people shopping in supermarkets and department stores, as well as on public transport.

This is America, though, in the year 2020, and as such everything is political. Scientific advice that fairly recently would have been almost universally accepted is now questioned and labelled as liberal lies.

That is the reality in which these Americans decided to take to town hall meetings and decry their government for forcing them to wear masks.
