(2,678 posts)stupidity & ignorance are going to get many folks killed, needlessly. And it doesnt matter that many of those dying are Trump supporters. It really is sad... These Red state governors really amaze mee, not in a good way, either. Florida, Georgia, Sout Dakota, Nebraska, Republican states all. This is not gonna be pretty.. And while my state does have a Republican as governor I know Larry Hogan aint opening Maryland. 🤔

(1,555 posts)I am not going to defend the moron in Florida for anything, but he does have the mask on the correct way.
His mask straps are intended to go around the head and neck, not the ears. I have several of the same N95 masks myself that I use for construction projects. If you look at the photo, the top of the mask has the metal piece to shape around the nose.
We have so many things to rail on this idiot for, but I have seen this meme on other websites and it makes our side look dumb when we attack a very easy target for something that is a false story. Now if you want to give him shit for not wearing it correctly with both straps around his head and neck for maximum protection, fine. But he is not supposed to be hooking the straps around his ears. Again look at the piece of metal at the top to shape around his nose.
Sorry, but I had to correct the idea that his mask is on sideways. It's not.
But he still is an unforgivable asshole who endangered my mom and other family members who were down there for a large part of the winter and were still going to the beach because he was saying the UV rays killed the virus. Don't get me started with my idiot family members. It sickens me that he is now reopening the state.
I am very fortunate to have Gov. Whitmer doing such a great job here in Michigan and we are starting to see the moves she made payoff.
Oh yeah, and DeSantis is a fucking idiot, but not for how he puts on his mask.

(1,555 posts)If you look at the very beginning when he puts it on you can see the metal strap for the nose on the top.
Also look at the service member's mask the skit is showing. There is writing on the bottom of his mask that matches the mask the moron is wearing.
Again, I am not defending him, but this is a false narrative.
And oh yeah, he is a fucking idiot!
