How did I know the malcontents would find fault with the rally when all summer we had massive protests all over the US and never heard a word from the press about lack of masks.

Let's hope those not wearing a mask at the rally are the ones who will contract the virus. Better them and their thinking than us.

The good news....They did a very good job of covering the event.

The bad news....easily more than half of those on camera or in the crowd did not wear a mask.

One could only reach one conclusion from watching the video...most residents do not subscribe to wearing a mask (translated.....they don't give a (bleep) about containing the virus!!)

Just good people exercising their first amendment rights just like Black Lives Matter. Where is your righteous indignation over the six hundred thousand babies who get aborted every year, the six hundred thousand plus people who die from heart disease eating some of the slop they serve in some of our restaurants and the six hundred and eighty thousand people who die from cancer yearly. Do you run around asking them to put on their sun screen so your health insurance rates won’t go up. My point is these exercised there free “and please take note of the word free” will in attending this rally and you did so by staying home.

What a ridiculous reaction. Why can’t some of you folks understand that you cannot hide from a virus. These masks are little more than a psychological aid to the people wearing them. Europe is finding that out right now. And the fact that we have the number of cases going up in this country and in Europe I see as a good thing. The only way this thing is going to subside is by reaching herd immunity. Covid is not a death sentence. There are several treatments it for right now to nip it in the bud if someone gets it. Also, we are finding more cases because we are testing so much. That is a good thing. I am so sick of this paranoia especially over masks. My hope is that one day people are going to say that’s enough and throw the things in the trash for good!

I agree but I will. It be in the race to get one

At every rally, those that are closest to the President (right behind him), are mandated to wear a mask to protect the President. Not sure why they still do it since he’s “immune”.

Shame on you for hoping anyone gets it.

I'm pretty sure when I go to WalMart I won't catch skin cancer from someone who didn't wear sunscreen. Can't say the same about Covid and maskless idiots.

I agree with you 100%. You said everything I was thinking while reading your response and you said it much better than I would have.

And while attending the rally yesterday we observed a lot women in the crowd of younger ages screaming also. Not just old Villagers at this rally.

Remember, wearing a mask can save the life of the person you get close to. Don’t be selfish, wear a mask

Time will be the determinant.

More and more evidence showing Fauci was correct the first time. Mask are ineffective is containing virus. Spikes in European countries ,all with strict lockdowns and mask requirements , unlike Sweden where life goes on.

Also the visible faces behind the stage didn’t look like Villagers. Mostly younger voters . The young are not afraid .

Yes!! I’m thinking positive!
