From me and @philiprucker: https://t.co/EmX9to6hAX
When 3000 died in 9/11 there was no red & no blue. We were on the same page. People happily accepted changes at places like the airport. Now, with over 600X as many dead from Covid, a huge swath of Americans resent doing the responsible thing: wearing a mask. What changed? Trump.
