I would like to apologize in advance if there so happens to be a mega thread on this particular topic on here or some other sub-forum, because I haven't seen or noticed it yet.  

A minor note, but looking at this picture, I noticed that Senate Democrats are masked and Senate Republicans are maskless. It's yet another visual reminder of how far apart the two major political parties now are.

The United States is the only country where the party who literally launched a terrorist attack on the Capitol building can win while losing. Don't ever wonder why this country is so far behind the curve, because it's obvious.

The response has to be for Democrats in blue states to heavily restrict voting in Republican areas. What is good for one side surely is good for the other and with all the fraud that has come out of the Republican areas I think it's completely fair to start monitoring said areas closer.

Interesting take. Though, what was your position on Republican voting restrictions and the Big Lie again?

I'm not surprised he would be making such a proposal, which would only exacerbate the polarization we've seen, and would make Democrats no better than Republicans.

Is every GOP senator maskless? That would be truly very sad (though I don't expect better from about 40-45 out of 50 senators).

There may have been a few who were masked, but the vast majority aren't.

Which ones, out of curiousity? (If you can tell me it'd be great, since I can't access the image on my computer, but I understand if you can't.)

I couldn't tell you, unfortunately.

Ah. Well, I'd guess maybe some of the older ones (such as maybe Shelby) and moderates like Murkowski and Collins might be, then.

Not Shelby. He's clearly visible in the picture and is unmasked. And I don't think Collins was wearing one either.
