Seriously I've lost count of the number of people I've lost, it's at least 20 since the pandemic started. It's not like people forward me articles like "oh here's why COVID is fine now".
It's an iron law to me know, I've seen it so much in my life. Libs CANNOT stomach the idea that they're in the wrong about something. It'll eat them up inside worse than anything.
You're a star. NGL I rarely ask people to mask, I just repeat the scientific research on COVID risks and attempt to lead by example.
You're right though, I'm definitely the first type as well.
