    Someone else mentioned this today and I’ve thought it for ages. Trump missed a huge opportunity to sell MAGA masks by going on the anti-mask train.

      All the MAGAs would be wearing their MAGA masks, probably harassing people that weren’t wearing masks.

      But Trump was simply too vain to put on a mask himself, so the MAGAs emulated that and searched the internet for conspiracy theories they could believe in to avoid thinking of themselves as being vain.

      Be glad of that. If the MAGA folks had been wearing masks on Jan-6, they’d have been a lot harder for the DOJ to identify and arrest.
