Biden Supporters Stage Golf-Cart Parade in Trump ‘White Power’ Stronghold of The Villages, Florida (WATCH)

John Wright August 21, 2020 Leave a Comment

Supporters of Democratic nominee Joe Biden staged a golf-cart rally Friday in The Villages, Florida — a massive retirement community considered a stronghold for President Donald Trump. The Villages made headlines back in June when Trump retweeted a video showing a resident who supports him yelling “white power” — before deleting his post.

The New York Post reports: Fox News reporter Robert Sherman reported that more than 300 golf carts took part in a parade that snaked through the 132,000-person senior citizen community northwest of Orlando. It’s a significant show of support for Biden in the swing state amid the coronavirus pandemic, which disproportionately kills older people. The county that includes The Villages went for President Trump in 2016 and is an essential vote bank for Republicans to balance Democratic urban areas. Trump advisers were alarmed this year with some polls showing that typically Republican-leaning elderly voters could go for Biden.

Sherman’s video blew up Twitter, where “The Villages” began trending on Friday afternoon:

More photos from today’s golf cart rally in support of @JoeBiden here in The Villages. Even with 300+ carts in attendance, one Trump supporter told me that @realDonaldTrump’s base here in The Villages is “still strong” and says everyone in his complex is voting for Trump. https://t.co/ih0ZK3vCuL pic.twitter.com/8aRlRZp6d2

One notable difference between the Villages golf cart rally for Biden and its previous golf cart rally for Trump is that no one in Biden's rally is yelling "white power" https://t.co/8lnSxlVVOB

When The Villages starts supporting Biden, Trump is in big trouble. https://t.co/a0CeK40Re6

These retirees at The Villages mad about not being able to see their grandbabies in person. You can lie to them about a lot of things but not that reality. https://t.co/WZbVVxQPZx

Unless you live in Florida, you don’t realize how bizarre this is. The Villages is conservative and these old people love to fuck. It has one of the highest STD rates in America. Now they are for Biden but still love to fuck. https://t.co/ElQQgyo3G9
