We have to travel SR 200 many times to get to Ocala. Hundreds of thousands of people travel this road to get to I-75. People think of Ocala as a very rich area.
Marion County has some wealth, no doubt. Marion County also has some very poor. This man is an example of what we deal with on a daily basis from many of the uneducatated and bias and why we lose Florida in elections many times over.
I will say one thing for this old Dixiecrat...he has staying power. Rain or shine...hot or cool...There he is….with signs hanging from bushes, trashing up the trees and view with Pro Trump...and anti democratic signs. He is a distraction and I wonder how many wrecks he has caused.
Anello, 79, loves politics. And for the last nine years, he has made it his life’s purpose to share his views. After getting his political inspiration from the radio in recent mornings, he puts on his worn slacks and his Donald Trump campaign T-shirt.
He grabs an American flag, as well as a few homemade cardboard political signs, and trudges a block south to State Road 200.
Traffic data for that intersection indicates that in the last nine years about 51 million cars have traveled through that intersection. About one third of those drivers — about 17 million — likely have driven by while Anello was standing along the roadside.
“I believe in the Constitution and the First Amendment,” said Anello, who was born in northern New Jersey during the Great Depression.
He is so poor that the should totally be against Trump but this is the kind Trump attracts. Why would a man who cannot afford broadband, decent housing, and a car desire to stand on a street corner for nine years dissing democrats and yet does not vote. He does not vote and has not voted since he cast his ballot for George Wallace.
I too believe in the first amendment but I have never seen any democrat stand for years pushing an agenda like this old nutcase does. Freeblogger is the exception. I believe Freeblogger is heroic and gets the message out. I wonder why more of us are not LIKE THIS OLD HATER. Maybe because we have a life, but if you read the article, you would see just how talk radio has influenced this guy. These signs say almost every one of Trump’s talking points. His signs say, “ Build the Wall”, Stop Socialism , Vote Trump a Man of greatness 2020, Illegal immigration is taking over our country, Democrats and the media are the enemy of the people, and there are soooooooooo many hate filled signs.
For years I watched his signs bashing President Obama and now it is nothing but praise for the hate filled orange face nutcase residing in DC.
He hails from New Jersey. Most of our Trump supporters DO NOT come from areas that are from Florida. The home states they hailed from went blue so they escaped to keep Florida red. I invite liberals here to even things out.
You would think Old Orange face would appreciate all this love but he is laughing at this guy.
I keep asking myself why do the democrats bash each other but not stand together to keep these kind of people from influencing? This man is a true believer and we have many true believers down here. It is extremely sad to report.
This is a cult. Democrats have to come together and stop this back biting to rid us of this evil. There are more Trump supporters out there than you realize and we have to get all Democrats to vote against this man.
