You can't judge The Villages by this forum.
Folks need a place to speak their mind with no repercussions. This is an excellent venue for it. I doubt there is one person on here that I would not get along with in person. Every person on here would go out of their way to assist you if you were in need, I have no doubt at all.
No one should take anything said on here seriously enough to cause them stress, because no one on here means anyone harm. This is just a means to express your thoughts without worrying about hurting anyone's feelings. Try talking like this to your family and they will disown you. Although, I get away with a heated argument with my brother because we have always been this way. But, when it's time to break for supper or whatever, we laugh and enjoy our meal or whatever. Our wives used to think we were going to end up in a fight, but it has NEVER happened. No one even goes away mad.
You would be surprised as to how much you can learn about current events by reading on here. Many times I have read something and immediately researched it's veracity.
This is not how any of us act in pubic so those that read this can be comforted to know that The Villages really is a friendly place to live. I bet there is no other place in America that is as generous with charity as in The Villages.

Some of what you say is true, however my take on it is this...
It is not a political forum with no discussions of any issues facing our country of which I see very little to none.
It is not a political forum when the majority of the posts and/or cartoons reflect simple and pure hate for skin color or religion.
It
IS being used as a judgement on The Villages. Of that I assure you.
You cannot post some of these things without those feelings being in your heart. I see folks posting purely hate filled posts with absolutely very little to do with politics. Many of those folks I have seen posting here for years parading a character of compassion and love for all. One election with the words used and it appears either they were being phoney from the get go or those words completely changed their heart.
I learn NOTHING about current events on here
ANYMORE I attempted to talk issues on economics, etc on here a number of times, supplied reading material to begin conversations, and was met with either silence or mockery. That does not make me a intelligent guy, but obviously not very smart in continuing that.
I never go away mad......just total disappointment with what people are obviously carrying around with them.
Since the election when I came on here and supported and hope for anything Trump does for the country, all I read is mean spirited and hateful responses.
NO....this has become a total and complete embarrassment to know that people like this actually live here...who think politics is about demeaning others. It
IS NOT, I ASSURE YOU
I also disagree that it has not crept into our daily lives here in The Villages and when I read about the disgust you all have for the protests, I think of your supporters spitting on reporters, justifying it.....using total and absolute terrible 4 letter words at rallies, justifying it. That is NOT politics in anyway.
