Why are masks considered a political issue?

It is the new abortion litmus test to see if you are American or Communist.They are crying really bad the communist in Iowa with the new mask law.

“The state of Iowa is putting parents back in control of their child’s education and taking greater steps to protect the rights of all Iowans to make their own health care decisions,” Reynolds said in a statement. “I am proud to be a governor of a state that values personal responsibility and individual liberties. I want to thank the Iowa Legislature for their quick work in bringing this bill to my desk so that it can be signed into law.”

Why are some Americans stupid enough to blame everything on Donald Trump, as if America is the center of the world? Guess what, there are anti-maskers outside of America too, there are nations that never passed mask mandates because no one wanted to wear them like Sweden.

It shouldn't be. Just the constant shifting of some people that makes it confusing if not frustrating. Fauci for example keeps jumping all over the place and the way he words things makes you despise him even though he wants to play neutral. Just the way he handles it doesn't help the situation is what I think. Another is conflicting doctors have 'different' opinions rather that different situations based on their area of where they work. The last one is people think they're 'diapers' for some reason. I wish we put these people in the operating room without the docs wearing masks to see how they'll handle it.

it went from no masks, to 1 mask to 2 masks back to no masks...talk about insanity...

Basically the left wants us to feel that we need to be afraid of the virus so they can squeeze as many political points as they can out of it. Everything the left does is about politics and giving them more power, they couldn’t care less about you and me.

Because the anti-vaxxers heavily side with republicans, and democrats had the gall of telling people to wear masks.

You act like Democrats didn't politicize this issue too. Trust the science, remember? Except when the mandate was lifted and progressives got scared.
