In a town in South Dakota where everyone believes in the Republican denial cult, the death of esteemed citizens of the town has convinced some to call for a mask requirement.

We must stop them from spreading their disease to those who don't want to catch it, and since the disease can cause lasting damage or death, force is justified for stopping them.
