Default Mother Jones article on The Villages

Inside the "Disney for Adults" That Could Help Deliver Florida to Donald Trump | Mother Jones

Thought people might like to read this. I am not posting this for any political reason, I keep my politics to myself and those close to me. Just found it an interesting article on The Villages which is why I am sharing it.

Obviously the writer decided that he didn't need to do any actual research or fact checking, given this line, "...but because almost everyone in the three counties lives in the Villages". While The Villages may account for a large part of the Sumter County population, you certainly can't say the same for Marion or Lake Counties.

Actually it was on Facebook under a retirement Facebook page called Retirement Mecca and not related to my page at all.

Actually I applaud her for posting it. One problem with America today is the lack of diverse news sources. If all one relies on are sources that agree with ones own opinion than one develops a very narrow view of the world.

I like seeing other views as well even if they are often full of prejudices, ignorance, and/or malice.

I would like to see some statistics on just how many people in the three counties in the Villages actually voted for The Donald.
