Hello, welcome to the Weekend Gene Pool, where I ask you to weigh in on an issue in return for entertaining you. The issue will come later, but first, the story. When I was a young guy, I occasionally played the Lotto in Michigan. It was in the early years of lottery science, but it operated pretty much the same as today: You chose six numbers between one and fifty, and if you hit, you made a lot of money, though basically no one ever did, especially me.
I know someone who knows someone who is a Trumper. Does that count? Otherwise I’m retired, not a big socializer and don’t discuss politics with people.
I have noticed that the few I know have recently nothing at all to say about TFG. And a person I feared might carry his personal misogny and racism to the polls (though medically diagnosed as delusional) has passed away.
The core issue is, thanks to much of the mainstream media, Orange 1's discharges have become normalized as somehow legitimate discourse and accepted as such by even reasonably sentient beings. It's the "Goebbels Principle" of repetition of lies and alternate facts writ large. Almost as writ large (comparing accepting populations) as it was in Nazi Germany.
The final ignominy for Fritz was that the Indians (his second stop) traded him to the Rangers for Stan Perzanowski who pitched a whole 37 games in his MLB career. The Rangers also got some cash. Apart from being able to locate his pitches and swapping families, Peterson's other claim to fame (of sorts...) apparently was that he was one of a very few of his fellow players who actually thought well of one-time Yankee teammate Jim Bouton, of "Ball Four" infamy.
Many, many people around my office are planning to vote for the former president. However, many of them are voting BBB (Bodies But Biden’s) rather than for anybody in particular. They just want the imPOTUStor out.
100% of us know someone who is planning to vote for him, but apparently only 76% of us realize it or can bear to admit it.
Family and some lifelong friends who have lost their frickin' minds to trumpism.
I mourn.

If only you had used Red Sox numbers
As to your poll, I rather think I do, but I'd rather not ask and have it confirmed. They are related to me.
I live in Floriduh. Everyone is planning on voting for Trump.
