How do I tell whether I am a 'progressive' or not?
Get in your car - alone - roll all windows up - take a drive - look in mirror - Are you wearing two N95 masks, a full face shield, and protective gloves?


(Kidding - Res, relax, friend)

I would appreciate a serious answer to this question, since the term "progressive" is often used on this board, and I deduce from its usage that it is a term of condemnation rather than praise.

So I repeat - what does a person have to do in order to (according to those who use the term) deserve to be condemned as a "progressive"? Or has it no content apart from "person whose social and political attitudes meet with my disapproval". In that case, it would not seem to serve any useful purpose.

Not self-identifying as a progressive, I am uncomfortable telling you what one is (I think you would get a variety of answers from progressives) But I do remember Res (who is a progressive) sharing his thoughts on what one is - unfortunately, I just don't remember what thread it was in (sorry)

I know, to wear all that while driving - alone - with all the windows up - is stupid isn't it?

I honestly believe that some of the folks you see driving this way are just so used to wearing the mask that day that they haven’t thought to take it off once they get into a car.

I did this myself once, and kids do it all of the time (watch the cars at a school or daycare pickup). If the mask is comfortable enough, it’s easy to forget about it.

No worries, though - the days of mask-wearing are winding down; soon, no-one will be traumatized by seeing someone else in a car wearing their mask. ; )

You’re uncomfortable defining the term, yet in the same breath you use the term. So, are you just using words with no idea what they mean, or are you being disingenuous?

Disingenuous.
So, a time-waster. Why bother posting this kind of nonsense? Is it supposed to be amusing?

I think you and Chap might be waiting for a while.

I wear a mask and face shield while driving. That’s the best and most effective way not spread any germs to your PPE. I don’t touch my face until returning home. I’m sitting on the toilet now with a mask on. If you spray your mask with Lysol before pooping the smell of your poop is greatly diminished.
