[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being FROM here? Probably that theyre not in the "OMG isnt DC so cool?" weird self important vibe that many transplants have. They often have an aversion to talking politics or the other virtue signaling topics a lot of the transplant types love[/quote]

Yeah.  The hometown industry is politics.  Our parents worked in it or adjacent to it.  Our friends parents did too.  It’s what you talk about at work.  You don’t need to live and breathe it.  I also think the 2nd+ generation political types are also by far the most practical and reasonable.  Very few right or left ideologues.  Nearly all hate Trump though.  [/quote]

Exactly. I'm actually FROM DC (not a transplant from BFE) and I think none of my native friends posted about politics during the election. In comparison to friends from Texas and Ohio that were nonstop whining about Harris or Trump. Most of us grow up with an aversion to it because we grow up in such close proximity. [/quote]
