Went out for dins last night with fam + SIL. Nice place AUGELLO'S in balwyn. Place was packed and the staff did an incredible job managing that. Good pizza!
But turns out bro and SIL are trump supporters which came as a shock to the rest of us.
Back in the day around the kitchen table we'd get into heated arguments about Labor/LNP. Old man is heavy rusted on LNP (as in he'd leave the room if people we shitting on their policy setting). He just sat there in disbelief.
But this didn't turn into an argument. Just the sound of eyebrows being raised.
Everyone is entitled to their views.. but yeah.. wow. They're well educated aswell.
I'm not really the type to get upset with views but their views on the rona and now this definitely makes it difficult to think any better of them.
Are they small business owners? My most charitable take would be they can see what's of economic benefit to them because everything else about Trump's platform wouldn't directly affect them
No they work here in govt. which is the odd thing. It just has no impact on them but they feel very strongly about it.
Bizarre.
