That can mean a lot of different things, I think.
But I think you're talking about a sort of authenticity that people expect.
And the paradox of Trump is he's authentic even when he's lying.
Because it just seems like he's, you know, whatever he is, he's not reading talking points.
At least that's how it seems.
I think also part of this is just the – it's actually a technology thing.
So the technology that dominated politics for as long as I've been alive was television.
And I think it produced a generation of people.
You know, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton –
and Donald Trump were all born within a few weeks of each other.
Really?
Yeah.
They were all products of the summer of, I think it was 1946.
Coming out of that generation, Joe Biden, near to them in age, right, into whatever's next, I think you're going to have leaders, and this can be potentially a very good thing,
who are just a little bit better able to just kind of show their humanity.
Being a long podcast like this one, right?
Like I remember when long form meant like maybe a 30 minute NPR interview.
Now you're sitting for sometimes two or three hours.
I don't think it's possible as a matter of physical stamina to stay on talking points for two or three hours if you want to.
And so, you know, somebody once said that running for office is like an MRI of the soul anyway.
