For whatever reason, refusing to wear a mask to protect others from disease
is now a key component of fascist political ideology

Unmasked fascist police escort masked fascist activists (styled "proud boys") to disrupt children's program at public library. Good thing it was daytime or they might also have made a bonfire of the books, because, why not? Click through for story.

"We cannot possibly provide health care for our citizens;
it's so hard!" says the richest country in the world.
You know it's true: only 19 of the top 20
