Is the Inner West experiencing a rise in MAGA hat wearers?

Just saw my first red MAGA 45 47 cap driving through Marrickville. What is becoming of the gentrified Inner West? Am wondering is this a regular occurrence elsewhere in Sydney?

One MAGA hat in Marrickville doesn't exactly scream "rising tide." It's more likely a single, eccentric individual. The Inner West is still pretty firmly left-leaning, though pockets of different viewpoints exist everywhere. I wouldn't read too much into it.

The pre-game pie hype is real. Seriously, legendary. But beyond the pastry perfection, look out for the "lucky leprechaun" – some old bloke who always sits on the same bench, wearing a ridiculously oversized green hat.

Expect off-key renditions of Aussie classics and some surprisingly good spontaneous harmonies. Don't be surprised if someone starts a conga line. It's all part of the charm.

Even better! I'm already mentally prepping my vocal chords. The Woolpack, you say? I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for that. Thanks for the insider info!
