Walmart on Wednesday announced that all customers in its stores will have to wear face masks before entering starting on July 20th.

“While we’re certainly not the first business to require face coverings, we know this is a simple step everyone can take for their safety and the safety of others in our facilities,” the company explains in its announcement. “According to the CDC, face coverings help decrease the spread of COVID-19, and because the virus can be spread by people who don’t have symptoms and don’t know they are infected, it’s critically important for everyone to wear a face covering in public and social distance.”

These basic public health measures aren’t sitting well with many anti-face mask conservatives, however — check out some angry reactions below.

Some choice lines from tweets by RW babies throwing tantrums on Twitter:

I’m still going to go in without one, you can’t make me.


obedience masks… not about health… it’s about doin’ what you are told… no matter how stupid… and breathin’ y’er own used air makes ya stupid… it’s a simple fact… and the test is bullshit

1. It's better to breathe your own "used" air than a covid infected person's "used air."

I guess that one doesn't occur to them.

[COLGATE4]

2. The responses to Walmart's decision to require face masks

illustrates better than any erudite explanation the veracity of the saying "You can't fix stupid"

[Nevilledog]

3. *sigh*

These people are dangerous idiots.

[Coventina]

4. "breathin' y'er own used air makes ya stupid"

Is this a person actually trolling these MAGAts?

[Arkansas Granny]

26. His comments make you wonder how long he has been engaging in that practice.

[Aristus]

5. Yet another reason why I try not to even DRIVE past a Wal-Mart.

What a bunch of fucking goons, man...

[ProfessorGAC]

6. Their Store, Their Rules

And a $367 billion company isn't going to worry about a tiny minority of snowflakes.
People will still go there.
No mask, no shopping. Refuse to cooperate, get arrested for trespassing.
Easier to just cooperate.

[spooky3]

12. Exactly. Plus, they would lose MORE business from people

who will shop only where masks are required for their safety, if the store allowed these selfish dopes in.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Solid Point

Put the 2 together and there's no reason why they WOULDN'T mandate masks.
Whiners are going to shop anyway (other big box stores now have market forces prompting similar measures, so really no alternative), and tens of millions feel safer going there.
Of course, they'd do this.

[maryellen99]

7. These people need to get Covid as a reality check. I hope they don't die though nt

[better]

19. I'm with you on them needing a reality check, but no, we do NOT need these idiots to get COVID.

For the simple reason that these very people have already demonstrated the ignorance through which they WILL infect others.

[customerserviceguy]

8. And these customers

have all run out of alternatives, because when they abandoned the mom-and-pop stores in their rural areas to load up on cheap Chinese crap at Wal-Mart, Mom and Pop went out of business.

Wal-Mart has destroyed small town America's downtowns.

[sarisataka]

9. All to bring in the NWO? The NWO doesn't wear masks

[RockRaven]

10. Good luck finding a different place to shop!

Wal-Mart might not be able to make you wear a mask, but they CAN refuse you entry. Bye-bye antimasker!

[peggysue2]

11. I've only been to Walmart once since this started

And the reason I've avoided the store is because barely anyone was wearing a mask. The employees were all masked and gloved. I'd say no more that 10% of the customers were doing the same.

The responses from these people are infantile. Too much QAnon conspiracy influence. Bill Gates and chipping? Give me a break!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

13. I really hope at least SOME of them are trolls...

... but there's indeed many stupid and brainwashed people in this country.

Nobody thought to write this?
"First they require masks, and next they'll make all of us insert butt plugs to block the escape of our methane! Tyranny!"

[csziggy]

14. "I'm still going to go in without one, you can't make me." Uh, yes they can make you.

ANY business owner can require that customers wear marks or can ask them to leave.

I just hope Walmart hires bouncer types that are capable of handling the crazies that think their rights are violated by requiring a mask on private property. After all, greeters have been assaulted and killed for trying to enforce this, even in places where the government has made it part of their policies. In fact, I would bet that in many places more than one person will be needed at the entrances to enforce this new policy.

[SWBTATTReg]

15. Private business can dictate who can come into their stores, no shoes no shirt no service...

Walmart is being smart.

I'll be happy as I'm going to Walmart today for a couple of things, so this is wonderful news.

Most places in STLMO people have been wearing masks anyway.

Idiots w/o wearing masks (such as the governor of OK who has tested positive for the CV, went to rump's Tulsa rally) are coming down right and left and I expect roughly 10%+ will get seriously sick and perhaps die.

Idiots who I don't feel one bit sad for, considering that they are mocking the deaths of at least 137K+ Americans already at the hands of this dreadful disease. I wouldn't even mind going outside the hospital and mocking these idiots as they are wheeled into the hospitals (unfortunately taking up precious hospital resources due to their idiotic ranting and raving and failing to wear a mask or be safe).

[Totally Tunsie]

17. Mask requirement doesn't kick in until July 20,

so you may still see a bunch of Covidiots in WM if you go today. Beware!

[SWBTATTReg]

20. Thanks. I'll be wearing mine anyways and always stay away from those not wearing a mask.

And w/ the CV raging, most of my errands are quick in and out trips. I don't dawdle and browse as I used to before when I was at the grocery store now. Too dangerous and just plain smart to get in and out as quickly as you can.

Take care and be safe!

[Totally Tunsie]

24. I use the same strategy for my few errands.

Anything that can be done "drive-thru" is, and in-store visits are few and quick, always masked and gloved. Any Walmart shopping is done online, at my door in a day or two.

I noted a few days ago that I'm spending much less $$$ these days without the store browsing. Hopefully (although not counting on it), this will be a habit that remains long after COVID.

Stay safe! Stay well!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. A few minutes inconvenience versus death and organ damage

[marybourg]

22. Wait 'til they tell us they're "pro-life"

[cwydro]

21. Mask mandate in NC.

Even in Walmart everyone is wearing them.

Some not correctly, but they're wearing them.

[tanyev]

23. You can cover your own face now or the hospital will cover it before sending you down to the morgue.

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. Trouble is they don't believe covid19 is real or if they do, masks don't do anything to stop

the spread. They also refuse to admit they screwed up badly by trusting tRump.

[beachbumbob]

27. karma will offer a solution

[crickets]

28. "You can't make me." The toddler mentality writ large. nt

[LakeArenal]

29. I have not heard of an incident where a non masker was arrested or cited

So yes, right now we can’t stop them unless we have huge bouncer security at the doors.
