The stigma of the red MAGA hat has given way to the mask-free face as a way to recognize conservative citizens. And according to DCist, the last thing left-leaning Americans want to be mistaken for is being a person on the right.DCist's latest "overhead of the week" was of two women walking down the street in DC shortly after the release of the new CDC guidelines. The women, in their twenties, debated the merits of the guidelines—not on health grounds, but on what people might think if they were to see their unmasked faces."I guess I'm vaccinated so I don't have to wear a mask outside but … I really don't want people to think I'm a Republican," a woman was overheard to say....A woman I met recently told me the same thing, that though she's been fully vaccinated, she still wears a mask in public so that people don't think she's a Trump supporter. We spoke about the social pressure that she felt to wear a mask, that she didn't want people to look at her and make the wrong assumptions about her politics.
