A viral video showed a man at an anti-mask rally failing to rip apart a mask.
The pumped anti-masker stood on a platform in front of a cheering crowd as he attempted to exert his superiority over the face-covering by trying to show it who was boss.
But it appeared the mask ultimately came out the victor.
@meidastouch Can’t stop watching 😂 #mask #getvaccinated #lol #wtf #meidastouch
The text in the video read:
"This anti-masker tried to tear a mask in half at an anti-masker rally."
But despite his bulging biceps powering his ill-fated stunt, the mask triumphantly retained its durability.
The clip ended with a voiceover declaring, "The mask won," as the audible cheers began to dwindle.

The location of the rally and the man's political affiliation was unclear.
But TikTokers had a feeling the man and the maskless attendees, who are adamantly against protecting themselves and others from the surging variant virus, are former President Donald Trump supporters.
