>> I'm sure you all remember the fine people of the Village or the Villages in Florida.
[5]
It's a retirement community where a huge portion of residents living there are Trump supporters.
[11]
They held a weird Trump rally where they're in their little golf cars or whatever they're
[17]
called, harassing people who don't support Trump.
[21]
But nonetheless, they're huge Trump supporters who did not take coronavirus seriously before.
[27]
Until Donald Trump tested positive.
[30]
And now all of a sudden, you see signs everywhere encouraging people to wear masks, you see
[36]
people social distancing.
[38]
Let me give you the details as reported by the Daily Beast.
[42]
So the virus was a hoax here until Trump got it, Chris Stanley, president of the Villages
[47]
Democratic Club said of the MAGA crowd's attitude.
[51]
The other night they did a prayer vigil and for the first time, they posted in a big font,
[58]
you must wear a mask.
[60]
I looked on the webcam and didn't see many wearing masks, but they now seem to be accepting
[65]
this is not a Democrat hoax at all.
[69]
I'm gonna bring you in already, I'm glad they're taking it more seriously.
[75]
I'm glad they're like, I don't want people to get sick and die, even if I disagree with
[78]
them politically.
[80]
But why does it have to get that bad?
[83]
Why do you have to wait until Trump contracts the virus to take it seriously?
[88]
Why is it that 200,000 Americans dying from the pandemic isn't good enough for you?
[93]
>> This ignorance, you know what's funny is that it's a Democratic hoax.
[98]
But historically, the majority of the people that have been passing away who are the big
[104]
numbers are in marginalized groups, who historically have been Democrats.
[108]
So, the Democratic hoax to kill the Democrats because when you go to the poor communities.
[116]
The Latinx people that have been working throughout the pandemic.
[119]
The poor black people who are still showing up to their jobs because they don't have a
[124]
choice.
[125]
But the hoax is a Democratic hoax.
[128]
And a lot of people who have died have been Democrats, which is ridiculous.
[133]
What, we were going to go out and cough on the Republicans?
[139]
I mean it's just that the talking points are really dumb and we have to call dumb when
[146]
it's dumb.
[147]
We gotta stop, this political correctness has now muzzled us, and handcuffed us.
[151]
There are things that are stupid and that are dumb, and we have to call them out when
[155]
they are.
[156]
Some of the things that they're saying are unfounded, ridiculous.
[159]
They have no evidence of any of it, it's not fact, it's foolishness.
[165]
And to say that a party, a political party, I mean, can we say that the Republican party
[171]
is trying to infect America with the disease of ignorance and foolishness?
[177]
It's just stupid.
[178]
>> Definitely.
[179]
>> Come on man, it is dumb.
[180]
>> I mean, I just wish, I wish right wing voters knew what we know about Democrats.
[189]
Democrats aren't savvy enough to conduct a hoax, they're just not.
[192]
Let's just keep it, let's keep it real, Democrats barely fight back, come on, a hoax?
[200]
They always project what they would do, right?
[204]
Republicans project what they would do, but they fail to, those two, those two, those
[208]
two.
[209]
They're gonna do a hoax, they're gonna do a hoax?
[214]
>> No, they're going to do the hokey pokey right now, that's what they look like.
[221]
>> They say.
[222]
>> It's funny, that's so funny, that this was the most gangster thing we saw from Nancy
[230]
Pelosi.
[231]
That it became such a big thing in America, she did the gator hands.
[235]
I went to Florida State, and so we thought that was gangster.
[239]
And it's just ridiculous, we just have to call it what it is.
[244]
We haven't seen the person come along yet that is in either of these political parties
[250]
right now, besides Bernie Sanders, AOC, the Squad.
[254]
We haven't seen anybody besides these people, who have the gall to call it what it is, without
[260]
fear of being called communist, socialist, anarchist, we don't have them.
[266]
They just not out there.
[267]
They're not bold enough.
[268]
They're not willing to sacrifice the safety of being in the box because they're afraid
[274]
of what the group is going to call them, and the group is going down.
[278]
>> I just want an opposition party that knows how to play offense and they can't even do
[283]
that.
[284]
They're constantly playing defense.
[285]
And it's just so hilarious to me that Republicans act as if they're these powerful shadowy figures
[294]
that are in on some crazy conspiracy, it's insane.
[298]
One other thing I wanted to mention is a quote from the president of the Democratic Club
[302]
in the Villages.
[303]
He also said a couple restaurants told me that the day Trump tested positive for coronavirus,
[309]
restaurants weren't as crowded that night.
[311]
So there are visible differences in how business is being conducted at the Villages in Florida.
[318]
So I think overall this is good news.
[321]
Remember, this is a retirement community.
[323]
These are people who are definitely vulnerable healthwise to COVID and they should be taking
[330]
it seriously.
[331]
And yeah, so I hope they stay safe.
[342]
This is a good update.
