I understand that we can say something and have others interpret what we say in a manner that was not our intent. Today some have the ability to use words in a way that conflicts; but mean the same thing to them. I wish there was a dictionary to let me know when “good” is “bad” and when “lie” is “truth”. When “fact” is “fake” and when “Opinion” means what is said does not count.

Very well said. If we could only find common ground. I’ll add common sense, also.
As for a mask, it should be just like wearing any other piece of clothing.
