After reading all this it came to me that the overwhelming opinion about The Villages is that it is a great place to live, even for those on the right. And furthermore the overwhelming political leaning is moderate or left. I have to believe that the number of happy moderates sets the back drop and tone for the wonderful place The Villages has become.

Therefore I must surmise that if the USA as a whole was left leaning and moderate like The Villages it too would be a wonderful place to live. Not saying it is not a wonderful place, just could be more like TV!
