Are they going to ban washing your hands next?

Washing your hands removes vital oils used by forensics to identify you at a crime scene.

They’re not banning masks for the KKK, if that helps understand their thinning…

The point is to inflict suffering. So yeah, I wouldn't put it past Republicunts.

The non quippy answer:

Wearing masks other than theatrical or things like Halloween masks was prohibited in many places prior to covid.
Some places were explicitly anti protest from the 1900s (unions), others anti hate crime (KKK). Some just had it as a thing that can be tacked on to other crimes. My state has a law that makes it a misdemeanor to wear a mask to conceal your identity while commiting a crime.
These laws are not unique to the US.

When covid came along, most states that had restrictions passed laws adding exceptions for health related face coverings.

In response to people protesting Israeli actions in Palestine, North Carolina repealed their relaxation of the mask rules, and refused to add a health clause, arguing that even though it's illegal, it was illegal before covid and just never enforced, so it's fine.
They also included an exception that allows for secret societies to wear masks or hoods in a parade or demonstration if they have a permit. That's the KKK in a nutshell.

It's preposterous bullshit intended to work as an election year headline grabber, since it's anti mask, anti protester, and pro Israel all at once.

"But, muh freedoms"

The mask ban is happening because of the Gaza protests

They are trying to undo agency la wholesale. As in completely remove all corporate and industrial regulations through removal of the EPA, FAA, FDA, USDA, ect. Through plan 2025 they will undo life as we know it and send us back to the beginning of the labor movement in America.

The Republican mentality is that the constitution should be the sole governing document of America. No government agencies or regulation. It's an unhinged, uneducated plan that will kill us all.

Lemme guess - the state's representation is gerrymandered six ways from Sunday, all the people who could possibly be Democratic voters were tossed off the rolls about 30 minutes before the vote, and there's only one ballot drop off point in the biggest urban area. Right?

Did they also outlaw giving out water in long voting lines too? Cause that one's extra special.
