Even as you have AZ cases spiking, you still have Trump supporters drinking the reality denying Kool-Aid.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — There were two main camps at a rally in Scottsdale Wednesday: people against wearing masks and people against being told to wear masks.

"I don’t think people need to be forced into doing something," says Scottsdale City Councilman Guy Phillips. "People would have done it anyway had we had the education first."

Phillips organized the rally, which had a few hundred people turn out.

Most of his supporters were not wearing masks.

1. Too bad for them, AZ ICUs are running out of room.

[Ferrets are Cool]

2. It's such a travesty that "y'all" are FORCED to walk around clothed...

even though doing otherwise wouldn't kill anyone.

(well, it might if they walked naked adjacent to a navigable thoroughfare.)

edited for phrasing.

[LisaL]

5. Exactly my feelings.

How dare anyone tell them to wear pants in public.

[Moostache]

3. To those "against being told"...I have the following advice:

I am TELLING you right now, NOT to under any circumstances put plastic bags over your heads EVER. And if you cannot stand to follow THAT order, I further order you to NEVER secure said plastic bag around your necks, EVER.

In fact, here's a comprehensive LIST of things I am summarily FORBIDDING you from doing:

- wearing seat belts
- taking medicines
- visiting doctors
- eating healthy foods
- exercising in ANY capacity
- reading actual books

Feel free to add on as necessary. But I sincerely FORBID you from the plastic bags, for reals...

7. Seat belts wearing is actually a law.

So is not drinking and driving.
How dare anyone tell them to not drink and drive?

4. "COVID party"

[LonePirate]

8. Exactly. This isn't an anti-mask rally. It's a pro-COVID rally.

6. Well, now you've got the education-- so what's the problem...

Oh, you're a bunch of assholes too stupid to know you're assholes.

OK, carry on.

9. Guy Philips is a liar and a fraud and a pos

On june 25th he organized a protest against wearing masks in which he mocked George Floyd

A GOP Arizona city councilman apologized Wednesday for mocking the dying words of George Floyd during a protest he organized against a local order to wear face masks amid the coronavirus pandemic -- comments that drew the ire of several prominent Republicans in the state.

What a fraud to say that the problem is education when he organizes protests agains masks.

14. I know it's Scottsdale,

but how he got away mocking the dying words of George Floyd escapes me!
