Segment from the 7 minute to the 14 minute mark about The Villages. I wish I could edit this to just that segment as the rest of the video is about how important it is to win Florida in the upcoming election. My purpose is not political but to point out how we - The Villagers look to the rest of the country independent of political party and relay some sadness this has personally caused me. There is a segment around the 10 minute mark that describes people having become so hostile to each other they have been ousted from social circles. This hits home for me. For years I had a golf group playing 3 times per week. Last year it got so bad as leader had to make a rule no talking politics. Didn't work. We had to abandon the group and some friendships parted ways.

Yes, that also happened to me. National polarization worked its way to the local level. So sad! We are entering an even more pivotal time period. So, buckle up - we here and the whole US could go in EITHER direction. We could go back to friendly (maybe even friendlier) or we could further alienate each other. It depends on too many factors to mention. I imagine that almost no one appreciates this animosity. There may be some people that prefer this constant tension as it gives them some monetary or psychological reward. I hope that the trend is toward the "LIGHT" winning out against the "DARK". I wonder if the Christmas season will help? Good luck to all-you-all!
