The arguments today about masks (can’t breathe, muh rights, the Constitution) were the same arguments made in 1918 by conservatives (conservatism doesn’t change much).

In San Francisco, a public health officer shot someone arguing “muh rights.” He was found to be innocent of wrongdoing. In Tuscon, a special “mask court” was established to prosecute people who argued “muh rights,” “it’s in the wash,” “you can’t make me” &c. The fine was $10 (about a day’s wages then).
