The new FOCUS Podcast “The Curve” discuss Jan Fleischhauer and Jakob Augstein on an amazing political phenomenon of the Corona-crisis: While, paradoxically, forced in the traditionally libertarian left spectrum of the Mask is frown upon and look down right-wing politicians such as Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro the Mouth guard. What is the reason?
“Maybe, it depends on a certain conception of Masculinity, or a sense of invulnerability,” says FOCUS columnist Jan Fleischhauer. Straight men and even a certain tendency to fatalism was observed: “Some think that When the Virus hits, he hits, he hits. Against the blows of fate, you can’t protect yourself.“
Augstein: “In the United States, the mask is in character against Trump”
For Jakob Augstein, the Mouth is more and more a political Statement. “Who is in the USA, a mask, sets a sign against Trump,” says the publisher of the weekly newspaper “The Friday”. The question of the mask today is ideologically similar to polarizing as the issues of climate change, or Migration. Here the Journalist sees the camp of the mask supporters on both sides of the Atlantic in the upper hand. His careless use of the Corona-crisis will cost Trump in November, probably the re-election. And in Germany, too, was the realization that the Mask was an acceptable price for freedom.
