Seen the hate and vitriol over masks and vaccines in person. Just today was at the hospital getting shots in the back. A guy was PO because just found out he had C-19 and has to wait for the infusion. Sent him home with a appointment. Heard them talking to his daughter about his brother dying of C-19 last week.
I asked if they were vaccinated?
NOPE! Said their doctor told not to because of heart bleeding..... Said they were taking the antifungal med, Ivermectin.......
So just how are you going to get through to them?
Glad I was twenty feet away outside wearing a mask.
There a many who are relishing a fight against the rest of us. Want it to happen live for the day.
Hope it is not so in your areas. Around here we have plenty of crazies with guns.

I'm living the same experience.
On January 6th, while the insurrection was happening, I made the decision to resume drinking alcohol after abstaining for over 9 years. I was banned from Audiokarma after having drank a fifteen pack of Bluemoon beer, and telling some guy to get his butt over to my house and kill me.
I started hanging out at my local bar, too. The 'kill me now' ideation would take over after I drank enough beer (or whiskey). So, I told everybody that I didn't vote for Trump. I figured I was 'all in', ready to die.
About two weeks later, this huge dude came in the front door of the bar, and he looked like he was extremely drunk, and looking for somebody specific to fight.
I was well acquainted with the guy, had known him about 15 years, but hadn't seen him lately. We started talking about what we had been doing since the last time we saw each other. He remembered me, too. We talked for almost 10 minutes.
All a sudden he looked at the bar tender and yelled, "IS THIS THE ONE THAT DIDN'T VOTE FOR TRUMP"? ! No kidding. Apparently, she had been texting him and working him up to come kick my ass.
I stood up to the guy, and started yelling back. I explained how the electoral college worked, how my vote for Biden had been thrown out. I yelled, "YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT. THE FACT WE GET TO VOTE FOR WHO THE F___ WE WANT".
Then I went to take a leak, figured he'd jump me while I was doing my business. He would have flatten me, too, twice as big as me. As it turned out, I had a friend in the bar. He had voted for Trump, likes Trump, but he convinced the guy to leave while I was in the bathroom.
I did get a beat down from another guy, on a different night. I don't remember what I said to provoke his aggression. Kept going back to the bar for nine months, expecting trouble. I quit drinking back in September.
