It's 2020, where everything's made up and the points don't matter.
As the world continues to stumble through a global pandemic, the use of masks has come out as a possible way to keep the spread of the virus under control while society hobbles toward a reopening.
But not everybody is willing to comply with that information.
After Ventura county was slated to become the latest California county to require the use of face masks in public, a Trump supporter named Deborah Baber showed up to protest the mandate.
Her speech in front of the council was...colorful.

Her various declarations of protest ranged from "I am not a terrorist" to "I am not a sex slave."
curb your enthusiasm ok GIFGiphy
She also came in prepared with a poster board showcasing some bizarre images, including one of the Statue Of Liberty wearing an American Flag face mask.

She loudly proclaims as she holds up a Trump 2020 sign:
"I'm a proud Trump republican yearning to be free again."
"Shame on all of you! Let Liberty reign!"
She then proceeds to ring a bell at the councillors, before bursting into "God Bless America."

Ms. Baber, a published thinkpiece writer for various conservative journals, announced in her profile that she's been wearing "Trump gear" almost every day since the autumn of 2015.

Folks also noted how she got the lyrics to "God Bless America" so incredibly, hilariously incorrect.
She doesn't even get the lyrics right. Mountains white with foam???

I was thinking that she might be on something, and when she got to "the mountains, white with foam" lyric I became convinced she was.

When she led with "oceans" I was wondering if she was going to repeat "oceans" but she went all in with "mountains white with foam." Impressive...not really.

When Republicans embraced Palin and the tea-baggers (remember how proud they were when they first called themselves that😆) took them seriously and actually elected them to office it was the beginning of the rise of stupidity in the Republican Party and has gotten us HERE

At this point, after the madness that 2020 has wrought, most people can only sit and shake their heads.

There is... a lot to unpack there.... https://t.co/1u1IlPwuQL

Concerned citizen Deborah Baber exercising her constitutional rights and practicing civic engagement.
I can't say whether she used her voice effectively in this instance, but I must admit I admire her preparation and sincerity. 🤣 https://t.co/hEBRIQ0Vf5

Power Ranking Funniest Moments:
4. When she lists all the mask wearing groups, of which she is not apart of
3. "And it's Baber, Deborah Baber"
2. "To the mountains, white with foam"
1. Anytime she rings the bell https://t.co/ugu6fnkyOS

Deborah Baber is an unhinged psychopath.
I suggest you commence competency hearings. https://t.co/phY3lDLElH

When we look back on this year, may we all have a memory of a distressed voice screaming "I am not into bondage!" at several perplexed city officials.
