“Daddy, why are there so many masks on the ground? Don’t people know to throw away their trash? Don’t those masks have germs on them?” Evidently, the conservative right does not believe in wearing masks so this must be a liberal problem. Unfortunately, like all things in America, our way of life and hopes for survival have once again been politicized.
