Was talking to a friend about wearing masks and they made the point that they “wish it would have become the norm instead of a side of a political battle.”

Making it political is just trying to explain away indifference to the moral and ethical implications of giving up.

It wasn’t liberal vs conservative, liberals were just as eager to go mask off as soon as possible regardless of the actual situation.

It was that until July 4th 2021, when Biden said you're good to take your masks off. Then it became political for the liberals to take off their masks to prove they got their vaccine. They weren't deterred when what followed was the two worst waves of the pandemic (delta/omicron). Now I'm considered a party pooper for wearing a mask from liberals who know I'm immunocompromised.
