> you remember the early days of the pandemic when Donald Trump was very pro-mask, including regularly wearing a mask himself,

I don't remember it. Because it never happened: https://apnews.com/article/michael-pence-virus-outbreak-dona...

It wasn't until the pandemic was raging in the summer that he wore a mask in public and then quickly stopped doing so. He even put on a show of ripping off his mask after he came back from his Covid hospitalization.

Either you are being downvoted for sarcasm, or you're being downvoted for being wrong. Hard to say, but I suspect you're shot by both sides.

Are we talking about political figures or the people that follow them? The poster I'm responding to is talking about the latter.

edit Someone already pointed out that this is an obvious biased misinformation post.

I think they were being facetious. Yes, mask compliance was probably a bad example, because this was politicized from both sides pretty much right away. I think the general point stands though

They're not delusional, they're sarcastic. Like hyperbole, this isn't conducive to good discussions. I'm so tired of internet discourse where people are constantly trying to one-up each other.
