    As others have mentioned, law enforcement might be the only solution, but it could just be added fuel for “the goverman wants to silence us.” Also considering the fact that a non-trivial section of law enforcement officers are anti-maskers makes this even more difficult considering the fact that close contact with a cop is inevitable in America.

    Anti-masking is just another symptom of the whole host of problems that plagues a scientifically illiterate USA.

      I feel like there are so many problems in the US that are impossible to fix without creating an entirely new kind of law enforcement because the current ones are vehemently opposed to any sort of good thing happening

      It’s more than just scientific illiteracy. It’s just that Amerikkka’s reactionaries are extremely (and selectively of course) liberal.

      They might know it’s the right thing to do, but to the Amerikkkan eyes, that is what makes it all the more fun to rebel against.
