I had expected a more even take on things as people here are from all areas of the country.

Hi Jesjp,
Welcome to The Villages!
I suspect, though I could be wrong, that this is a DRI community. Not dry, as in, no alcoholic beverage sales, but DRI as in having Dems, Reps, independents and others (Liberterians, Tea Partiers, etc).
Sure, you'll find some people in TV, as anywhere, who are politically "vitriolic". You might even find a few who think anyone who disagrees with them is an idiot.
My guess, though, is that most people here are respectful of others, thoughtful, fun to be around, and appreciate people who, agree or disagree, think for themselves. So far, a vocal minority has yet to convince me otherwise.
So, whatever your political leanings,
