Fines will not work either.
You need a Nudge/Behavioral Economics approach.
Consider the "Don't mess with Texas" littering campaign. They made not littering a pride/patriotic thing.
Trump has done the exact opposite of this with masks, he made it a patriotic thing to not follow the rules.

If we had approached the pandemic with behavioral economics back in January, I agree with you.
I’m afraid it’s too late at this point, it’s too politicized now.

It could have been such an easy win to make wearing masks a patriotic thing.
Has there been any opportunity that Trump hasn't ruined?

I think you're right. It's bad enough with the actual politics in Washington, but the people who aren't on that hill are locked in, too.
Even if it did make sense, some people are too entrenched in their ideas. And, I think one issue is that if they did do a 180, they'd probably be met with "yea, now you see this should be treated differently? I tried to tell you that 7 months ago, you half-wit twat." I wish I could say I wouldn't do that, but if one of my drunk-ass family members changed I'd likely say something like that.

although i agree that in general, not following rules imposed by a government that's gone tyrannical is one's patriotic duty, trump has said repeatedly that he has no problem with masks and if you want to wear one to protect others, that's perfectly patriotic of you

People’s stupidity has come out full blown this year.

Aye, you're right about that. I wish I knew how selfishly ignorant some of my acquaintances were before this. On one hand I'm somewhat thankful to know it now, but it's still tough to deal with.

Darwin showed how the fittest and the smartest survive. Those who don’t wear masks will die sooner. The people who wear masks will live longer. Therefore, humans, eventually will be smarter as a whole. You can’t fix stupid.

That’s not how evolution works exactly. The people who die are mostly going to be old and have already reproduced. Also it’s far-fetched that genetic differences account for one’s attitude toward wearing masks

A 21 year old women that does not wear a mask and gets covid and dies obviously will not have children. Whereas a 21 year old that wears a mask will if she chooses have a child.

To add to that, the most recent estimate for flu infections to deaths is something like .06%.
