Golf cart protests intensify in the Villages, as one anti-Trump Florida man receives threat
Orlando Weekly ^ | 1/31/2020 | Solomon Gustavo

"Be very careful if the well being of your family is of importance."

That's the threat Ed McGinty of the Villages said he received in the form of a hand-written note left on his door. McGinty, who was a counter-protester at a recent pro-Trump Villages golf cart parade, evidently has a reputation that precedes him.(snip)

According to Villages-News.com, who refers to McGinty as a "well-known anti-Trump protester," this threat is part of the reason he hit the streets using – what else? – his golf cart, decked out with signs calling Trump all kinds of things: "Hitler And Trump Exactly Same DNA," "Trump Bigot and Racist," "Trump Is A Sexual Predator," "Trump Filthy Pig," and "Trump Compulsive Liar."

On the afternoon of Jan. 28,(snip) He said Sumter County sheriff’s deputies stopped by because so many people called them to complain. McGinty said the deputies told him they couldn't do anything about his protesting and noted he can't impede traffic.

The show-stopper was a cameo by Villager Marsha Hill – honestly, its like self-parody at this point – whippin' a golf cart like skrt. She told McGinty that his signs were "blasphemy" and that he should be locked up. She also said she was going to send footage of the signs to the Trump campaign.

Hill said she was driving by and needed to step to this man. The Sumter deputies were there, too, and heard Hill's complaints. She told deputies that McGinty called her a "pig." Again, the deputies said they couldn't do anything about his protest.

You might see McGinty around. He said he likes to drive his FTD cart ("f--- Donald Trump,") an hour or so every day in his Village of Hadley, to let his very Republican neighbors know.

It's interesting, the biggest problems at the Villages as I understand it are booze and STD's. But then again rearrange the letters and ... Wow you also get DT's as in booze withdrawal, not just TDS.

Wow the 3 biggest problems in the villages can all be represented with the same 3 letters. I didn't set out in this post to discover that, but now I see that I am a prophet sent to save the Villages. I need to take a break and consider what this means for me and my life.

Even tough I’m on the other coast I know the type - I’m surrounded by them. Although they act brash and aggressive when confronted they are the first to fold. I guarantee I could make him lose his mind ;’}

I expected the article to follow up on that first sentence, showing the threatening note. That never happened.
We just got introduced to a motley crew of characters.

It takes The Villages...to be tolerant enough of a liberal in order to sell him a house.

I don’t care if he protests. Americans have fought and died for that right. I only wonder why he’s not promoting Bernie, Biden, Warren or some other alternative. At his age he must be embarrassed by the socialists and outright commies running for his party’s nomination.

“Hitler And Trump Exactly Same DNA,”

If this were true, the tattooed freaks would be lampshades by now.

From what I know of The Villages by folks who winter there and own homes, it is a hugely pro Republican sanctuary where democraps are not appreciated.

This guy is pressing his luck if he's driving his cart around with that anti Trump crap plastered all over it......

It's only time before his cart is found floating in a canal or something.......

I have heard the Villages have a high rate of sexually transmitted diseases! I guess just because there is now on the roof does not mean there is no fire in the furnace hahaha!

The Villages is Trump country. The wife and I have been thing of moving there. But the place is getting so big and there are many other 55+ communities to conside

It is getting big, but the areas around Spanish Springs and to some degree Sumter Landing are pretty much built out and are done. I own about 5 minutes cart ride from the Spanish Springs square. We rent out our place during high season, and get down there as much as we can the rest of the year.

I love it and I'm a "kid". From when I first started visiting 10 years ago, the overall demographic has definitely gotten younger. I see a lot of people in their 50s, like me, whereas 10 years ago, I never saw anyone under 65.

...

Fake News.

It’s a story that people believe because it gets repeated often.

Ed McGinty’s level of assclown libtardness makes me think he’s a New Yorker.
