Are you still trying to make sense of the Republican ideology? They're against it because Democrats are for it and Democrats are communists/atheists/collectivists/agents of Satan/etc. These are people for whom "freedom" means having a god given right to catch ebola and shit in someone's mouth. You're not going to find any sound logic there.Sean Hayden wrote: ↑Sun Aug 15, 2021 6:08 pmI don't get the freedom angle.
It's a temporary response to an immediate threat.
What's the underlying philosophy of mask mandates that would cause them to pose a real threat to freedoms e.g. pro-life is a real threat to the freedom of choice, American hegemony is a real threat to liberties, what are the equivalent underpinnings of mask mandates? There's nothing there. Nobody wants to wear one.

More Republican attacks on truth, more altering of history. This is authoritarianism.
