In this episode I talk about the pandemic, a couple of news stories, and why I consider competence to be the most important attributes for an elected official. I've included, with permission, clips of Justin Robert Young (JuRY) interviewing folks waiting for last week's Trump rally in Tulsa, OK. I'm interested in how folks who attend Trump rallies think, and I don't get much chance to talk to them. These clips are a narrow window into how they see the world. Some of the clips are relatively long because I wanted them to have some context. If you want to get the full context of these clips please listen to JuRY's Politics,Politics,Politics podcast episodes from Friday June 19th and Monday June 22nd: LIVE from the Tulsa Trump Rally! http://www.politicspoliticspolitics.com/blog/2020/6/19/live-from-the-tulsa-trump-rally Tulsa Trump Rally As It Happened!
