It's mind-boggling to me that people act so irrationally. Maybe one won't get very ill if they are infected with Covid-19. But it's also possible that they'll inadvertently pass it on to others who may become gravely ill (or worse.)
What does it cost you to wear a mask? It's uncomfortable and annoying - I agree! If we make mask-wearing complicated (over nose, under nose, under the chin!) people will just do the most comfortable thing and it'll wind up being completely ineffective.
The coronavirus doesn't care if you are republican or democrat.
Simple rule: wear a mask when there's other people around - your life may not depend on it, but your or someone else's grandmother's might. If a vaccine is truly around the corner, we can actually cause some people not to die by wearing masks. There's just no good reason to be this selfish, prolonging this nightmare in the process.
