They don't construct arguments the same way normal thinking people do, they start with the conclusion and just make up whatever as a reason for it and hope people buy it.
Sure, if you have a novel result, say from some experiment, you afterwards come up with theories to explain it. This is different from policy decisions though, where you have a situation at hand and need to come up with a way to deal with it.
In this case:
There's an epidemic, we need to contain it
-> it spreads through viruses expelled be sneezing
-> use a mask to hinder the spread
vs
People tell me to use masks, I don't like that
-> I need a reason to justify not wearing a mask
-> "I can't breathe!!"
Following George Floyd, in the depths of the pandemic, a friend happened to see one of the cops that killed him at the grocery store. Of course someone with massive infamy had no interest in wearing a mask at the time. But once it's institutionalized to get away with shit....
When you have years and years of lack of accountability and things like qualified immunity, why would knowing who they are matter? We have already shown there are no consequences for being a bad apple... To be clear, I am utterly against this, as a public servant, you should be beholden to the public, badges, body cameras, id numbers, marked cars are all critical to that.
It drives me nuts these guys spent years saying masks restricted their oxygen or whatever and now they're in full face covering.

I once called out my dad for this exact behavior. He literally laughed it off, "Yeah, that sounds like me."
who doesn't build the reasoning after the result? isn't that how everyone does it?

Face diapers are suddenly de rigueur amongst the maga class.

when you block all recourse of civilized action, be prepared for the consequences of uncivilized actions.
