Freedom Foundation Lawsuit Alleges Mask Order Violates Free Speech, Compels ‘Virtue Signaling’
Washington’s “invasive,” “coercive” and “unprecedented” directive requiring residents to wear a mask or equivalent face covering in public places has been challenged by a lawsuit arguing the state cannot compel citizens to meekly support whatever newest guess the government is making when responding to the COVID-19 virus.
…
Compelling free individuals to wear face masks forces them to espouse support for the scientifically unsupported lockdown measures and the draconian government intrusion into citizens’ daily lives.
Then there’s the issue of public opprobrium and being ostracized by those in your community. By announcing that masks are required, Inslee gives license to state residents to publicly scorn, or privately inform on, their neighbors.

This lawsuit makes the case for all the right reasons, not just as an ADA violation. Q hasn't said much about masks but it seems to be a primary battlefield for people to show resistance. And the left is pushing it hard, setting the table for blaming non-compliers for anything that goes wrong with their scamdemic.
