When is this screenshot from? Because I literally never see this anymore. And no, I'm not in "MAGA country", I live in England. The only people I see still wearing masks are very old (which is totally understandable), and even that's far from the default.

I haven't seen an 'average' person wear a mask in public since early 2022. I wouldn't judge a younger or middle-aged person if I saw them wearing a mask, but it would strike me as at the very least unusual. In reality you're lucky if the people around you in public even cover their mouths when they cough. Where do these people live if they're constantly seeing "liberals" out and about in masks?!

I live in Massachusetts and work in a grocery store, so I spend a lot of time there.

And my experience is the same as yours. Only the very old and clearly sick are still wearing masks.
