From what I've seen, protesters wear masks and some even gloves, and don't have a misting machine. Not good, but could be worse.

Why does no one brow beat the mass gathering at any of the recent protests?? Several of them with no mask. Social distance much??

I was just thinkin' that.
why is it so hard for people to wear masks? You would think people would want to be safe and not get sick. Why are people dumb?

At this point, they’re in too deep to turn back. Wearing masks, in their view, is a symbol of defeat. not a single thought crosses their
minds that hasnt been spewed from Trump’s mouth first.
Jarjarthejedi
Because a significant number of people take the stance that anyone telling them what to do (even if it's to help them) is the 'enemy'.
They're perfectly happy to cut off their nose to spite their face because hurting those they think are acting all superior is all they care.

What would happen if anyone walked around their office telling everyone they deserved to keep their job while at no point doing their job.
I mean, if you think AZ's governor wants to save American lives, you haven't paid any attention to any of his actions during this crisis.
Ducey held off on any kind of lockdown for as long as possible, made it non-mandatory when he did finally implemented it, deliberately
suppressed research showing we needed to keep it going so he could kill it at the start of May, and even now hasn't required masks (he
"recommended" them, but didn't want to enforce anything, it's local city officials who are doing that because he doesn't care). Ducey don't
care if people live or die. Ducey cares if his base of ignorant idiots votes for him again and he gets that by pandering to them. Even at

Arizona is so bad at this somehow. I’ve lived here for 16 years and I never realized how many people here are this stupid until now
