Never mind that they don’t protect the healthy;
Never mind that they hurt the sick;
Never mind that despite the rise in harmless COVID19 cases, it has a mortality rate WELL under 1%;
Nope: The so-called “conservatives” are just as quick to usher in a totalitarian police state dictatorship as any overtly fanatical Democrat:

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday ordered residents of counties with 20 or more active Covid-19 cases to wear a mask in public, according to his office.
"We have the ability to keep businesses open and move our economy forward so that Texans can continue to earn a paycheck, but it requires each of us to do our part to protect one another -- and that means wearing a face covering in public spaces," Abbott said in a statement.
The order takes effect Friday at 12:01 p.m. CT.
The latest mask guidance
There are exceptions to the order, including Texans younger than 10 and people who have a medical condition that prevents wearing a mask.
The order also exempts "any person who is actively providing or obtaining access to religious worship, but wearing a face covering is strongly encouraged."
