THE VILLAGES, Fla. – There has always been a low-boil tension in The Villages retirement community between the Republican majority and the much smaller cohort of Democrats, but a veneer of good manners in “Florida's Friendliest Hometown" mostly prevailed on golf courses and at bridge tables.

It’s just so simple. Wearing a face mask has been proven to prevent the spread and transmission of the coronavirus. Yet President Donald Trump, 74, has made it a political issue by stubbornly refusing to wear one. Now former President George W.
