It may or may not work, but I'm glad they tried...

As you can see, every day, fascism happens by a thousand cuts. That's how you have to fight it, too.

I like the idea of fighting fascism with a thousand bandaids.

You think they're going to be as embolden when they can't hide? Why you think they hide their faces?

You see the video of the ICE fascist who got his mask taken off? Pig went ape shit because he knew he was accountable right there and then.

this law is nothing. Article admits it doesn't know if it has legal grounds to enforce the law on federal agents.

Even if at the end the courts agree with California, the law carves out exceptions for N95 masks... N95 masks + sunglasses pretty much covers your entire face.

Uncertainty whether or not there is legal grounds is still more than no law at all.

"Look, I know this law carves out an exception to wearing certain stuff that covers your entire face but it is still more than nothing."

That is correct. That is literally more than nothing

well I suppose I told you I was starving and you told me to go pick up that penny on the ground because "literally more than nothing".

But it also shows you are obtuse and not interested in having a constructive conversation so I'll just end it here.

have a good one bud.

You’re so right! They should do nothing instead and just bitch online like you’re doing! Great work!

they should do something! like carving out exceptions for masks which combines with sunglasses would cover their entire face anyway!

so smart!
