Every time I Watch One of these idiots refusing to wear a mask and screaming about it,

I think of the old joke where the punchline is, “Sam, you gonna die.”

It’s just a matter of time before this individual or his or her nuclear family relative has a problem with this virus. We are at mile post 1 of the marathon and those who think we are anywhere close to being past this should have their head examined, as my father used to say.

I think not wanting to wear a mask is just the straw that breaks the camel's back. Judging from appearances, and luckily these days one can identify a Trump supporter by their appearance, strangely, these are Trump people. They are likely dealing with the approaching election and realizing that the tone is not what it should be, in terms of a triumphant Trump White House.

The meltdowns tend to have a word-salad rant which invokes race, China, the pandemic, masks, antifa, BLM, President Trump, the Democratic party, and several other topics.

Usually in one sentence.

Because of the intensity of affect or emotion, it is clear that they are speaking directly and without rehearsal or self-monitoring, so it is likely that the melange of subjects literally is what is making them insane.

I think the combination of factors is driving Trump people insane.

And, I don't want to sound like a bad person, but I don't feel bad about their suffering.
