One of my conservative friends on FB was "calling out" us liberals for shaming and mocking these people who don't wear masks, suggesting we have two options, one to mock and one to respectfully try to convince them of their folly.
As I said to him and the few others that agreed with that, it is like dealing with anti-vaxxers when it comes to these people, probably more so akin to the climate change debate being more about what political beliefs you have rather than listening to science.
I mean go for it, attempt to reason with people who refuse to wear masks, spend your time and energy politely and reasonably trying to reach them, but in my long experience in the skeptic community online, you rarely are able to convince people to change their minds when it comes to something that in the US has become a badge of defience and "freedom" when it comes to those who refuse to wear masks in public.
