If you come here, you drink the Kool Aid.

This doesn't find me the best day of my life.

這並沒有給我找到人生中最美好的一天。

The villages in Central Florida is home to 130,000 retirees.

佛羅里達州中部的村莊有13萬名退休人員。

It's a network of small communities built around shared recreation facilities.

這是一個圍繞共享娛樂設施建立的小社區網絡。

There's a feeling of second youth in the villages.

Although there are plenty of Biden signs on display, the trump signs are far more common.

雖然有很多拜登的牌子在展示，但特朗普的牌子要常見得多。

Yeah, the President picked a different form of transport for his visit to the villages last week.

是啊，總統上週訪問村莊時選擇了不同的交通工具。

I see you driving around in those beautiful golf carts.

我看到你開著那些漂亮的高爾夫球車到處跑。

But there's some evidence from polling that seniors aren't so keen on the president at this election.

但從民調中可以看出，老年人在這次選舉中對總統並不那麼熱衷。

some seniors have definitely turned against Trump here in the villages.

一些老人肯定會反對特朗普在這裡的村莊。

Trump won overwhelmingly, and he will win the Villages again this year, we won't win by the same margins that he did in 2016.

特朗普以壓倒性的優勢獲勝，今年他還會再次贏得鄉鎮，我們不會像2016年那樣以同樣的優勢獲勝。

And so the way that I look at this is if I can peel away Trump supporters from 2016 who are now Joe Biden supporters and add them to the statewide total that will help move Florida into going for Joe Biden next week.

所以我看這個問題的方式是，如果我可以剝離2016年的特朗普支持者，他們現在是喬-拜登的支持者，並將他們添加到全州的總數中，這將有助於推動佛羅里達州下週去支持喬-拜登。

Those 29 electoral votes will put Joe Biden into the win column.

And he didn't do anything when he knew it on January 3rd, he kept it all a secret.

But of course, not everyone feels the president has performed badly.

但當然，並不是所有人都覺得總統的表現不好。

Jo Tweedy is 80 years old, on drives his hot rod cart in his socks.

喬-特威迪今年80歲了，穿著襪子開著他的熱棒車。

I think he was the first one that immediately stopped the flights coming in from China.

我想他是第一個立即停止從中國飛來的班機的人。

And immediately all the Democrats, including Joe Biden, jumped on him, calling xenophobic and racist and everything else and same thing when he shut it off a week later from Europe had he not done it.

並立即所有民主黨人，包括喬-拜登，跳到他身上，稱仇外和種族主義和其他一切，同樣的事情，當他一週後從歐洲關閉它，如果他沒有這樣做。

Who knows how many might have been a million died by now, You know, as you wander around the villages, something doesn't quite ring true.

誰知道現在已經死了多少人了，你知道，當你在村子裡轉悠的時候，有些東西不太對勁。

The buildings claim an impressive heritage, and there are helpfully historical markers dotted around the place.

This Waas, apparently the telegraph office, where someone by the name of Charles Flying fingers bah Roman was famous for the speed of his Morse code messaging.

This place was built out of nothing in the 19 eighties and nineties.

這個地方是在19世紀八九十年代白手起家的。

The Village is is selling seniors, ah, view of the past of America.

村是是賣老人，啊，看法美國的過去。

That's comforting, but it's entirely fabricated.

這話讓人欣慰，但這完全是編造出來的。

Similarly, the Democratic Party in this election is telling older voters that only they can bring the old America back and America of decency of unity.

同樣，民主黨在這次選舉中也是在告訴老一輩選民，只有他們才能讓老美的美國回來，讓美國的體面團結起來。

But is that America any more real than this one?

但那個美國比這個美國更真實嗎？

Yeah, this is the Bacci Breakfast Club an hour or so in the gentle morning sun, playing a cross between bowls on Patan.

是啊，這就是八喜早餐會一個多小時，在溫柔的晨曦中，在帕坦上打著交道的保齡球。

They are mainly Trump supporters here on skeptical of Joe Biden's promise to bring the country together.

他們主要是特朗普的支持者，在這裡對喬-拜登將國家團結起來的承諾持懷疑態度。

I'd like to see unity, but I don't think he's the guy to pull it off.

我很想看到團結，但我不認為他是那個能成功的人。

I don't think he's still gonna do anything.

There's not much of a choice or is unconcerned.

And, you know, Biden could barely wipe his ass, you know?

而且，你知道，拜登連屁股都擦不乾淨，你知道嗎？

我的意思是，他永遠不會成功。

They're gonna put that other camera in there for the voice for president.

It looks like they want to socialize America.

Toe to a lot of us down here who worked hard for a living, saves a few pennies so we could come down and and live in Florida.

我們很多人在這裡努力工作，節省了一些錢，所以我們可以下來，住在佛羅里達州。

Hey, why should we give to those people who aren't really we're not working at, but there's a very different feel on the shuffleboard court nearby here.

嘿，我們為什麼要給那些不是真的我們不在工作的人，但是這裡附近的沙狐球館有一種很不一樣的感覺。

The teams are mixed on talking politics, discouraged.

各隊在談政治上參差不齊，灰心喪氣。

It would sort of turn people off one way or another.

People like to talk about their kids way.

人們喜歡談論他們的孩子的方式。

Whatever is decided, I will support the president, but I will be glad it's over.

不管是什麼決定，我都會支持總統，但我會很高興這一切都結束了。

This might well be the last generation of Americans who can afford to retire in this kind of style.

這很可能是最後一代美國人，他們有能力以這種方式退休。

Many baby boomers benefited from jobs for life with generous company pensions.

 The stock market on house prices moved in their favor, generations coming behind a far less secure on with the winning margin in Florida last time of just 1%.
