It is weird to see people still wearing facemasks, but "it feels political" is an odd reaction to an essentially political protest.

I understand the protest is political. I'm wondering why they're wearing masks.

Same reason they all attach pronomins next to their name: ingroup signaling.

This is true, but is again to be expected in a political context.

I still wear a mask in public places for a mix of covid not being totally gone, h1n1, common flu, and enjoying getting colds/ailments less.
