On Saturday in downtown Annapolis, Md., dozens in their vehicles drove in circles and honked during a lunchtime protest. One woman waved a sign out her window that said, “I want to save my business!!! I need to work!” Another man scrawled on his pickup truck, “The face mask you were duped into wearing symbolizes you loosing your freedom of speech.”

On a sign during one of the asinine protests in Maryland yesterday:
“The face mask you were duped into wearing symbolizes you losing your freedom of speech.”
Perfect example of people too stupid to think for themselves being goaded by an even more ignorant President.
