The reason they give is that they don't want people to be able to hide their identities at protests etc. I think there's also a backlash against people wearing masks in general because people really don't like being told that "going back to normal" actually means the mass disabling of the general populace, and the extermination of a smaller group of people with auto-immune diseases etc.
EDIT: Oh and in this specific case it's also because Karen Bass (the mayor in question) supports the genocide of palestinians.
They’re scared of businessmen exposing the system with another “your grandparents are happy to sacrifice themselves for the economy” moment, so they’re preemptively getting rid of anything that makes people think their health is in danger, thus no demand for protections and restrictions
Republicans will latch onto anything and turn it into an attack, and because democrats are bitches who don’t want to fight, they’d rather fold than to prove that their policies work. Same people who demanded people pay more for gas to beat putler btw
A bigger reason for masks is that Israel and its supporters regularly doxx and harass critics. The Likud fans have learned some tricks from Scientology. I have friends who are peace activists who have received face-to-face abuse, and in some cases their employers have received anonymous calls accusing them of antisemitism.
Why are masks a big fuss again pls help ootl

It's hard to find LA politicians who are willing to speak out about what's happening to the Palestinians.
