Yes, face masks. Republicans, largely, but some Democrats too.
Citing a flurry of protests on college campuses in recent months, GOP lawmakers in North Carolina last week overrode a veto by the state’s Democratic governor to ban mask wearing in public, with certain exceptions. As part of the new law, people may wear medical masks in public to prevent the spread of illness, but officers and property owners may ask people to remove their masks to verify their identity.
Republican Sen. Buck Newton, a supporter of the bill, said last month, “It’s about time that the craziness is … at least slowed down, if not put to a stop.”
What?? Why, where and how are masks being banned? Like, face masks?

One of those exceptions is a carveout for the KKK. Not even joking.
