    Episode 25: Tilting at Windmills

    Watching the Ada County Republican Central Committee debate on Thursday night about endorsing a Republican nominee got me thinking about how much time and energy are spent doing the political equivalent of tilting at windmills.

A lot of what I said at the time came out of reading Vance's book Hillbilly Elegy, about his life growing up in Kentucky and Ohio and the struggles of his people there. I thought it would be interesting to go back and remember what I thought then and compare it to where we find ourselves now. As you listen, keep in mind that this was recorded more than two years ago, before Vance won his Senate race in Ohio. Get full access to Gem State Chronicle at gemstate.substack.com/subscribe
