I bet ANYTHING Trump was one of them who was against them, too, just like he is masks.
Before face masks, Americans went to war against seat belts
"There was a libertarian streak among resistors," Ralph Nader told Business Insider.

- A small but vocal minority of people in the US are protesting face-mask mandates.
- In the early 1980s, the public-safety battle was over seat belts. Most Americans didn't use them, and 65% opposed them being enforced by law.
- "There was a libertarian streak among resistors," car-safety pioneer Ralph Nader told Business Insider. "They took the stance that 'you're not going to tie the American people up in seat belts.'"
- More than 50 years after "Unsafe at Any Speed," Nader said, "We are a very hard society to change cognitively.""""
So let's take the politics out of this mask thing and get healthy again!
Protect yourself, protect your friends and take your tip from the scientists and docs!
Of course the difference being, that seat belts do actually make a difference.....
AND....
The left-wing wasn't arrogant jerks about it. We all just learned, and were convinced over time, that seat belts are effective.
Part of the reason people are refusing to wear masks, is because the left-wing has turned into a bunch of complete and total assholes.
When you guys run around screaming at people, they are less likely to comply. We are a land based on freedom, and you guys have gone from trying to communicate positions, to just screaming and yelling. Well... screw you.
