I know most people don't understand what the big deal is with masks. The "big" deal with masks is they are so small and insignificant a "sacrifice" to help vulnerable people that it makes it abundantly clear that every other fight we are up against will be unattainable if the inconvenience is modestly above that. Yes, that is why all these other fights have suddenly risen altogether. They see how little comfort you will give up to help another. So-called leftists caved, they saw opportunity.
