I need a stronger word than irony

I wear a mask out of a sense of responsibility to my community. Not because I'm afraid.

Who calls me afraid? The same terrified bunch who think that their government has turned against them, that socialists are taking over the country, that there is a Deep State which is suppressing them, that the general medical establishment can’t be trusted, that our top doctors and scientists are lying to us, that our elections have been rigged against them, that immigrants are invading, that our government institutions have been corrupted by foreign powers, that liberals are trying to criminalize their faith and take away Christmas, and who wear a gun on their hip at the supermarket because they never know who might be a threat.
