This thread is a very good example of how the brain works on each side of the political spectrum. Those on the right are able to see, understand, and focus on the point being made, those on the Left are not.
And some of can see that there's quite possibly a sub-text to the point being made.
Nah, that's just your paranoia kicking in.

The subtext is probably explained by Jolly’s subsequent post about being familiar with the moment and how much it means. Rather than an anti mask zealot looking for any opportunity to criticize mask rules.

A mask on the platform during the anthem is stupid.
Stupid
There is zero chance that any covid will be transmitted.
Or at least so close to zero it doesn't matter. Keep them 6 feet apart if you have to.
The mask is a stupid, thoughtless, selfish political gesture, nothing more.

I think the mask rule is almost certainly unnecessary from a health perspective, but is a demonstration of something else. They're trying to show that masking is still important.
At least, that's my totally un-empathetic take. I honestly don't really know.
There sure have been a lot of people acting like they've lost their tiny minds during this pandemic. People showing up for huge BLM demonstrations right in the middle of a lockdown. People refusing to wear a mask as it's a symbol of fascism. People believing all kinds of rubbish about Bill Gates. I could go on. And on, and on, and on.
The medal ceremony is a long, long way from the current capital of crazy-town.

The capitalization is the result of autocorrect, not a decision on my part, either conscious or unconscious.
But once again, that's your paranoia kicking in. lefties share that in common too. Its a part of their mental disease.
Actually, it was me having a bit of a laugh. And now, you're failing to capitalise 'lefties' when you should be! Are you sending secret messages to your paymasters at QANon???

Seeing a mask as a symbol of fascism is not what most people are seeing. That's a lefty's take on it, once again missing the point and showing the difference in how each side thinks. The mask is not a symbol of anything. The push to force people to wear on IS fascist. And there is a world of difference between the two views. But the right can't discuss it with the Left because the same inability to see the issue that caused them to spread the notion that a mask is a "symbol" of something drives every single thought a lefty has when trying to discuss something with one.

Nah. Just fucking with your head..

But that's another example of how a lefty's brain works. Disagree with them, and you're a racist. Try to explain a right wing view, you're a member of Qanon. Yada yada yada. Lefties are like a bunch of trained sheep.
Dude, you're taking my nonsense way too seriously
Also, you can't train sheep. God knows, I've tried.

That's the pinnacle.
The pinnacle, not the only. Not the one.
For many, it is.
