And they definitely think you're one of them if you look like it. I remember when the pandemic first was popping off, I just moved to a purple pearl in the middle of arguably the reddest state. I started going bald early, so I shave my head and have a short beard for the appearance of a chin. I was wearing my mask at a local market and some dude turned to me and said "you know you don't have to wear that brother (emphasis both implied, and unsettling real)"

Like dude, me and you are not on the same side of this, or any other debate. I'm so far left I'd make Bernie blush.
