I’m not American so maybe I’m mistaken here, but my impression is that if you go to stereotypical right wing social spaces like churches, country clubs, right wing bars, etc they’re not going to start masking up because one immunocompromised person showed up and asked for that accomodation.
that is exactly correct, and i think that’s why the context of this tweet is important. there’s also undoubtedly both a racial and gender component to that reaction by them: namely that taylor lorenz is a young, normie-looking white woman. there’s nothing that a nazi of this variety would find immediately confrontational about her. in other words, they probably assumed from her immutable characteristics that it was worth their time to be accommodating to her for the sake of recruitment and PR.
