    Let’s put it into math instead:

    Let S1 be the set of people who voted for Biden. Let S2 be the set of people who voted for Trump’s second term.

    S1 ∩ S2 ≠ {}

    If that’s not helpful, let’s try code:

    s1 = getPeopleWhoVotedForBiden()
    s2 = getPeopleWhoVotedForTrumpsSecondTerm()
    
    if (x for x in s1 if x in s2 > 0):
      print("There are more than enough people qualifying for for what I said")
    

    And lastly, to reformulate the sentence:

    There are lots of people who in 2020 voted for Biden and in 2024 voted for Trump.

      hah, you looked up an intersection symbol, nice. And now I just cant help myself since you gave me that response…

      So of 152 million votes cast, you’d like to show a sample size of just 1 person or more proves your hypothesis? seems pretty biased against the null hypothesis.

      And your restatement of your hypothesis: “There are lots of people who in 2020 voted for Biden and in 2024 voted for Trump.”

      You are proving “lots” with > 1? thats just not what “lots” means in english.

      And I think we’re done here.
