America is a strange place There are states with massive mask use and others were nobody wears them. Even within states things vary. For instance, in Tucson Arizona which is somewhat democratic I noticed that mask use is high. Go north 20 miles to Oro valley which is republican, and nobody wears masks.

I don't think your comparison is quite "right". It's not America itself or certain states even.
It is rural vs urban; it is big corporation vs little company.
This is a peer pressure phenomenon playing out.
Rural folks see reality and know BS when they see it, and, CALL IT OUT. They are more confident because MORE of them are seen not wearing, more of them protest and object directly, in general their employment is more assured because their employers' have high demand for wage level folks vs salaried. They will NOT be fired for not wearing a mask.
Rural folks are rural folks for a reason: They actually hate the city, big government, loss of liberty, and like the ability to take a gun out in the back yard and shoot at crows. . . or whatever. (This summer I heard huge explosions North of our land. Texted my neighbor and found out his kids were shooting exploding targets with their AR15's; we BOTH laughed!]
Urban folks are afraid to raise a flag because they are FEARful: of embarrassment, of being criticized in public, of reducing their employment status. Urban folks want to fit INTO society and be like others; they are "joiners".
